Agreed I couldnt watch it till the end after the second welsh try that was it

First time in years I've been glad the kids bath and bed routine stopped me watching the second half of a game.

But in the bigger picture I think England will learn more for that and come back stronger for it next year and from a selfish English perspective maybe a few less Englishman on the Lions tour will mean club and country will benefit a bit more come September because on yesterday's performance I don't see any Englishman making the starting 15. But that might be a new thread in a months time

Interesting - I reckon Barritt, Launchbury and Parling are all potential starters and I think that Robshaw and Farrell will probably start at least one game

I throught Chris Robshaw was Englands best player yesterday. The only one that had a decent game in a white shirt

Mike Brown looked OK - Tuilagi was a bit of a let down and I think a lot of the other froze

Don't get me wrong I think this group of England players are the most talented to play for a while. Robshaw has been great for England this season but a starting slot at 7 for the lions... Warburton has to take that.

If we're going down that route:

15 - Halfpenny
14 - Cuthbert
11 - North
13 - Tuilagi
12 - Roberts
10 - Sexton
9 - Laidlaw
8 - Heaslip
7 - Warburton
6 - Croft
5 - Launchbury
4 - Lawes
3 - Healy
2 - Best
1 - Jenkins

16 - Hogg
17 - Visser
18 - Philips
19 - Barrat
20 - Parling
21 - Murray
22 - Ford
23 - Robshaw
