Have to say that was their best performance on the pitch the whole day!!!

I didn't see any lads in the Welsh or Ireland teams pitch line-up capitulate to BLM tyranny.
Billy Vunipola was one of the other England players not to cave in. He says he doesn't agree with the BLM supporters burning churches and bibles in the USA. Fair point.

It will be interesting to see if the BBC put pressure on Wales and Scotland for Saturdays match at Murrayfield. If they do I hope they are told to do one!
