England highlights

Yes - it was an artificial pitch. Even by the coast in Genoa it was around -2!. If you want to get a glimpse of what it was like where England were supposed to play, go here.

Comments by Gary Street afterwards interesting - the trouble with a highlights reel is the lack of lowlights, and he was clearly not a happy bunny. If you have seen some games with this "A+" team at things like the Nations Cup, however, you will probably know what he means. It is understandable - the Big Guns will be back for the next game and many of these players will have been desperate to do something memorable in the hope of sneaking into the team for Twickenham. Scarratt's try an absolute peach, however, well worth watching again -great run, perfect pass.

A two week gap now until the next round where, as well as England v Wales, Ireland play Italy and Scotland host France.
