Having had a chance to rewatch the game, I thnk England will have big issues in the later stages of the WC (while I'm Welsh, I'm trying to be objective here)
England have some very good players, especially big fast players. These are being used well in the game plan of fast offense, ramming into the opposition and offloading. It worked against Wales in the first game.
But. There's a but.
It seems to be their only plan (and I dont think they are hiding that much for the WC, its just a slightly better version of how they played in the 6n).
Its a good plan against weaker teams, or in a one-off match. But as Wales showed on SDaturday, you can nullify it.
By the later stages of the WC, you are playing good teams whos been watching you for a month, and will have worked out exactly what they need to do. Englan, if they are to do well, need a plan B, and I see no signs of this so far
