England have achieved their goal, play boring rugby for the majority of the match (they only started being even vaguely adventurous after the match was over).

I think I'm going to mock my boss about this. He's a total supporter of their team. :: sighs :: He'll probably bleat about it at work, though Wales was missing a few players, weren't they?

England supporters'll probably pretty happy that they won comfortably, but they did it through brute force and I have to admit, some decent off-loading in the tackle.

Wales' excuse is that 4 Lions players (eg 4 of the best players from Wales, England, Ireland, Scotland) and the missing several players who would have replaced them and non-Lions team members. Basically, 8 players who would've been involved in the match if fit were missing.

BBC Sport has now uploaded some highlights. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/default.stm on the right hand side about half way down. They're not great quality, but they're there.
