Ah that's a shame. Thanks 

I think the idea is that there playing players from other nations, so all the "English" players are representing another nation they're attached to.

Connor for example is representing Trinidad.

Shame McGilvary has lost a lot of pace as he is still a brilliant ball carrier out of defence.

I think if I was Hastings I would have done everything I could to have the England flag (for all I know he did) just to make a point. But I appreciate your point. And the representation of a range of nations.

Only just read this. Thanks for your very kind offer, Paul. Not sure I’d have got in anyway wearing jeans and trainers!

[DavidM]

Rubbish tackle from ratchford

[Rupert Prince]

Good finish, forward pass.

[Man of Kent]

In the flesh, England look physically small compared to the All Stars

[EastLondonMike]

Good work from Leeming for the try.

[Archie Gordon]

Knowles has been great since he moved back to 13.

[Davo5]

Great run from Cumbrian Knowles.

[EastLondonMike]

Lovely line from Knowles.

[Scubby]

Great try by Knowles. Has he got the Welsh flag on his sleeve?

[Rupert Prince]

And that was a good try too.  Shows what you can do when everything is in motion.

Including the ball in a forward direction. 

[DavidM]

What ? I mean what !

[Davo5]

Knock on by Connor,what is that clown Thaler looking at.

[andyscoot]

Knock on? Never heard of her

[Scubby]

What a shocking decision  

[Padge]

Looked like a knock on by the petulant child, but refs obviously thought not, so its a try.

[DavidM]

That really is one of the worst VR calls . All he has to do is watch the pictures

[Trojan Horse]

That was awful from the VR.worthy of demotion imo. 
 

glad to see Lyne having a right game. Solid as a rock in D and making some great yard carries. 

[MZH]

I really don't see how that was given. Never a try in a million years.

[Dunbar]

Such a pity Jonny Lomax was ruled out close to the game.  England have lacked the structure and creativity he would have provided on the shift plays.

I agree. Lacking the pivots imo. Connor outshone Tomkins at fullback too. 

[Dunedan]

The only reason I can think of for giving that is he thought it went backwards off Connor. I don't think it did, but I can't think of any other reason.

I really wish Sky would mic up the video ref like the BBC do, so we could hear the reasoning.
