I agree about the score, MikeL2. If Flood had managed that drop goal at the end , I think it would have been an unjust result.

I've been struggling to work out where Martin Johnson starts here. I find it hard to pin down one particular area as the "weakest" or to blame for the performance.

We are still getting slow ball from the breakdown, and then the pass is being telegraphed to the defenders by Danny Care's little shuffle towards the team mate he intends to send the ball to. We have been lucky not to have had more interceptions.

The centres are quite often too far back , leaving the fly half isolated.

There didn't seem to be any energy to chase the ball, until Foden and Moody came on.Foden did a few shaky things ,but settled down well and at least tried to run the ball. I suspect he'll start the next match, and I feel really sorry for Armitage. He seems to have developed a few nerves.I hope he can overcome them because he's a huge talent.Someone in the England camp needs to give him some support and help him to sort the "block."

I didn't think our forwards had a great match. They didn't seem to be working as a unit. I worry about Dylan Hartley. He is so easily riled. He was a lucky boy not to be sent off or to at least have caused the penalty to be reversed.

There are bound to be the usual calls for heads to roll,but I don't know if this is the right thing to do really. Which players.......and, more importantly, who do you replace them with?
