Lancaster dropped a bollock by taking Youngs off so early, he was England's best player at that point.
Wales were there for the taking, unfortunately England were too negative, and one dimensional to take advantage.
Burgess will be a excellent union player, but playing him at centre isn't going to make best use of his strengths, I reckon he'll be in the back row for England at the next world cup, that's assuming he doesn't see sense and come back to do what he was born to do, and that's play rugby league.
Having said that, at least Burgess has the excuse of being a relative novice. Brad Barritt on the other hand is just a big pudding, how he contimes to get picked I'll never know. Actually, it's probably because Panface is the backs coach. Seriously, there can be no other reason.
Overall, I can't see either team wining the tournament, it was intense, but very scrappy IMO.
