I don’t think we dealt with England’s kicking game that badly. A couple of dropped high balls and a few loose kicks here and there but other than that we coped pretty well. Stopping England scoring any points for over an hour is quite an achievement really but ultimately personnel let us down. Biggar, Williams and Halfpenny will be much better equipped to deal with that, I hope.
Yes, having the Welsh Fijian aka Nathan Hughes back is a big plus for you. I don’t think a bonus point win is a lot to ask, their defence is dodgy but you’re right, it’s not easy and certainly not a given. It’s their cup final and the crowd should be good and we all know how much better they perform at home. You’d take 4 points though, I’m sure.
Very dodgy ground having a pop on that front E17
We'd definitely take four points. If both England and Ireland win this weekend it's quite probably not going to come down to bonus points anyway.
