Couldn’t split Nathan Hughes and Ben Jacobs for MOM even though Nathan got it. Jacobs tackling was even more extraordinary than the tries and assists. He must have completed 20 plus without looking like he was trying that hard. Would love to see the OPTA stats for his performance, must start this weekend against Irish.

Dazza. I was at the game and whilst not a Sarries fan, I thought Mako Vunipola would have been on for MOM had he stayed on the pitch.

England are looking like they have some seriously good resources at loosehead, even without Corbisiero

Nice to see Kruis getting himself in the team. He was immense all game. Outstanding in the line-out, some great carries, and excellent in defence. His loop-around in the lead up to Ransom’s try was top class. Got smashed just as he released the ball, but the timing was perfect. England need to keep him in the squad when the 6N comes around. He has the same attitude and work ethic that Launchbury has.
I know I’m biased but I though Mako Vunipola was outstanding as well. Only his second game back after a long injury lay-off, but he was everywhere. Tackling like a demon, a constant nuisance at the breakdown, and held up well in the scrum.
