Have we seen him crack a smile yet?

Our biggest score ever against Wales, overtaking 62-5 from 2007 (Twickenham)

Not quite hitting the biggest margin though (same match)

[Mellsblue]

B Cuzza was unbelievable but who wasn’t. Wales are farking terrible.

[Stom]

I thought Wales were abject.

BUT

We score almost every time we get into the 22. And that's not just this game. Say what you will about Soapy Ballsacks, and I will, but this team know how to finish chances.

Cut through this poor Welsh team like a knife through butter. And nice to see the doubles for two young players.

BCurry was superb. But one player I was very impressed with was Roebuck, and I think he definitely deserves more chances. Daly wasn't great...

Ford is just class, even though he shouldn't have really been there.

[Oakboy]

Oh well, what do we conclude? It's all opinion but here's mine:

Pollock is at least a yard faster than any other backrower we have
CCS is class
Freeman belongs in the 13 shirt
Willis should be the starting 8

Beyond that, Wales were crap.

With Henry scoring two tries I just want to be the first to say 'what a fine pair of Pollocks'.

Otherwise, there were a couple of bits of luck - 2 tries off of people's heads and 1 for Wales that could have been in the first half (very borderline). Having said that we defended well. Wales moved the the ball about and didn't break us down - then when they got through they dropped the ball on one occasion at least.

Our attack was excellent, especially compared to earlier in the tournament. We were taking risks and really trying to move the ball about much mroe than we have been. Towards the end we making ground at will and clearly wanted that last try badly, that was just brutal running through and into people. Just a crushing try as a display of dominance. It was enjoyable not to feel nervous for most of the second half, a very dominant performance (despite our fears about centre & second row injuries - either a reflection of Seriously Beautiful being good at selection or of Wales being poor..).

The Currys were awesome. I wouldn't trust them near my wallet because they can steal anything. Roebuck was very good. The LCD tap tackle in the first half was huge. Ford was good when he came on.

Overall - that was fun to watch. England looked dominant for much of the game.. 'mon the Scots etc.

For what it is worth I think Wales have a gem in the Josh Lewsey lookalike 15 shirt.

CCS, Curry’s and Genge. Outstanding.

Pollock knows how to read a play, that’s for sure

Detail can wait for now I'm just delighted by that result and very pleased for players and coaches.

[Which Tyler]

So... We need Scotland to beat France by a mere 30-odd points. Not the 80-odd everyone had been saying

[Danno]

Delighted with that despite some issues. Bittersweet because we don't want or need Wales to be shit

100%. Genge’s best game in a long, long time. Ben Curry has been the find of the tournament and what a start for Pollock.

Obviously we have to take into consideration how poor the Welsh were on the day, but I don’t think anyone would have predicted a win of that magnitude. At half time, I thought a Welsh comeback was more likely than us running riot, but what the flip do I know?

Any Scottish win gets the job done.

Very intelligent lines for a tyro, impressive

I disagree

Ha, fair

[Insouciant]

According to ESPNScrum - not sure how accurate they are - but apparently Fin Smith passed 8 times and made 9 tackles. That may be true but it doesn't seem right. Wales also had 56% territory and possession was 50/50. If any of that is correct - it highlights how clinical we were this game. Long may that continue.

That's damned impressive.
For BOD as well
