Britain unobtrusively sure
The competition hosts will be charmed to be heading into the World Cup with a 21-13 win over Ireland, despite the fact that there must in any case be a couple questions drifting around the camp.
After a jolting begin against Ireland in which they played with pace and width, England lost control of the amusement toward the begin of the second half as Ireland scored 10 unanswered focuses.
Coming after their weak indicating in the initial 70 minutes of the past match against France it proposes a stressing level of irregularity.
On a more positive note the first-decision midfield of Brad Barritt and Jonathan Joseph have at last played together, Tom Wood and Ben Morgan appear to have nailed down beginning compartments in the back column and the front line out wide looks sufficiently sharp to panic anybody, given the open door.

In the event that they are restrained, and guard as they did against Ireland on Saturday they must better than average chance come World Cup time."

Wales reeling after late blows
Halfpenny realistic
Wins in their last two warm-up recreations - one against a close full-quality Ireland in Dublin - would have been adequate for Wales a month prior.
In any case, the wounds to Leigh Halfpenny and Rhys Webb, with the previous unquestionably out of the competition with a knee damage and the last holding up to find the degree of a genuine looking lower leg harm, unified to the unconvincing way of the 23-19 triumph over Italy, mean mentor Warren Gatland has a ton to contemplate.
He will require officially harmed Liam Williams and Samson Lee to pull through and trust Alun Wyn Jones' forces of recuperation match his aptitudes as a second column.
With England and Australia lying in hold up, Gatland needs his best players fit and terminating. That may not be an extravagance he can appreciate.
