My daughter is a mascot from Hinckley rugby team in this match!! So proud to see her on stream

21:15 We're there in the third row. Fantastic performance by the boys!

Thank you for the opportunity to watch, I liked the barbarian style the backline went.

Should have sent this lot to Murrayfield last Saturday

Different opposition!

Big credit to Portugal. Never gave up and played really well.

I was at the game and although it was a walkover and easy to look good a number caught the eye: Baxter and Heyes looked strong Tuima has good hands Pearson, Barbeary and Pepper could be the England proper back row. Randall was no nonsense Atkinson played clever Muir and Murley showed great skills Hodge I would have no problem starting full back Hartley looks like a real prospect and again hopefully the long term 12 for England

He'll never be seen again.

Hopefully some of these lads get a crack in the senior team. Pearson, Murley and Barberry are all ready now surely? The back row is competitive for sure but we could really do with more pace on the wings.

Think Barbeary was very unlucky with the timing of his injury, Borthwick seemed keen to get him in the squad in interviews

@@limbothytimothy I mean maybe he doesn't start but he would be some impact player and would have been in the initial squad over Dombrandt for me who has had plenty of chances and has looked really out of depth

Brilliant game from both sides

i feel like ojomoh is one of those players that could be exactly what we need

All looking good for england apart from england 10 , Portugal played up for their level 2 how they kick on from this and their good world cup.

Good performance from a few really liked Pearson, Mur, Hodge, Murley. Really want to see Murley play for the 1st team.

I was at the game

I like this England ‘A’ idea. But can we move the 6N to the summer/Autumn window and separate domestic and international responsibilities? Non internationals could play a second domestic season with players and teams from the next league down. A bit like in NZ

@@whattiler5102 That’s more a reflection of a bad and untelevised domestic season.

awesome to see the fans celebrating the portugal try 🇵🇹

If this is what portugal are sending to SA in july then wow they need to get in more work

Putting the commentary teams enthusiasm for the Portuguese play aside, this was a colossal waste of time, what did Borthwick learn from this? other than Portugal aren't anywhere near good enough. If you want to test young players, send them to Argentina, Australia.

Indeed. Just don't send them to South Africa because there they may just get smashed for life.
