Too close for my liking. As suspected Canada were able to put England under a lot of pressure and disappointingly England weren’t able to adjust.

That was a really good win against an undisciplined, but incredibly physical USA team.
Dow out is never good and I’m a bit nervous about an inexperienced player coming in. I’d have put Kildunne on the wing and Rowland to FB. I’m also not sure about Feaunati for Talling as I think Talling has been excellent.
Canada can do a better job of slowing us down than NZ did, which adds to my preference for Harrison to start at 10 for the extra territory control and extra kicking points.

Another excellent game from Ireland, the score doesn’t reflect how close it was.
The first half was just all really good rugby, with a second half showing more fatigue errors from both sides.
Aoife Wafer is outstanding.
