Now I have had some time to sleep on it, both Farrells need to go I feel, they play/ coach negative dirty rugby and you can't afford to be doing silly hits in such a big game. The Burgess experiment in the centres failed let him go to Bath learn the dark arts in the back row and he may be able to come back and do a job on Hooper and Pollock in 4 years.
I'll have to disagree here, Farrell has to make that tackle, the replay shows he does lift the arm. Should have been a penalty for off the ball(though that's a stupid rule, if you're a dummy runner you should be prepared to get hit), but the yellow card was harsh IMO. As for Burgess, he was outstanding against Wales, completely took Roberts out of the game. I feel sorry for the guy, he's been blamed for pretty much everything, even though England were winning comfortably while he was on the field against Wales. But that's rugby union elitists for you.
