Eng started sloppy in second half. Launchberry is playing very well.
Launchbury is different gravy. There are very,very few players that come into international rugby at his age/experience and do as well as him. Very unlucky not to have gone with the Lions....but hey he's not Welsh.Just watched this on I Player hasn't been well advertised so when I saw that sky wasn't showing assumed it might not have been televised.
Great first half lost focus in the second, played with attacking fluidity we've not seen for a long time. That man Launchbury is immense, he should have been on the Lions tour, his work around the park and off loading ability is invaluable, all round better lock than Grey who is going pretty well for the Lions. Ben Morgan is another one, and with Billy Vunipola coming along it looks like we've got a very good back row with strength in depth. Last mention goes to Twelvetrees, has distribution skills that England have lacked in the centres since Will Greenwood hung up his boots.
Future looks bright off the back of that. Lancaster is going to have a few headaches come the autumn and 6N and needs to be ruthless in order to get these young players blooded in time for the RWC. Twelvetrees in the centres and real wingers who he'll get the ball to.

Twelvetrees and Joseph made a nice change to watch compared to Barritt and Tuilagi's route one approach.
Combine that with Wade showing superb soft hands and peripheral vision and England were good to watch.
The forwards not sticking to one-out-take-it-into-contact, brute force rugby helped massively too

Am liking the look of Kyle Eastmond. He and Manu in the centre could be a real partnership for England! JOnathon Joseph looks to have a future and I like Burrell the Saints centre, I think he has a genuine future for England aswell. Yes I know, Im complimenting a Saints player!
England Pack playing well, cant remember seeing an English Pack dominate the Argies, esp at scrum time for two games in a row before!

There's been a fair few false dawns over the last few years-mainly hyped by the press. I'm cautiously optimistic, SL should be thinking about the WC now and not short term gain. I think the 6N crop showed they could grind out results but became unstuck when they got roughed up and had no plan B.
With the WC in mind does the captaincy go to someone else? It seems we have some backs with allot of potential if they get the service.
