Well it was always going to be tricky handling a bench like Baths. Good stuff in bits and pieces from Red Bulls but it remains early days for the project.

Great to see some attacking endeavour and skills from #NRB. #BTH are a class outfit.

Encouraging this from #NRB … converting territory into points has been a problem but looking better today.

#BRI very good value there. #HAR couldn’t live with them at times. Genge’s try was fabulous.

Bristol getting better returns on their endeavours just now. Quins flashy but still pointless after 30 mins. #HARvBRI

Not clear what video feed the TMO has been watching … missed double movement in the try and non-existent head contact. #NRBvLEI

Terrific game at HQ. #ARG are a very good team. #ENG managed to gut it out in a way they might not have been capable of a year ago. So, progress there. Also the fracas sets up the new competition nicely next year.

#ENG got stronger again this week which is a great development after years of fading away in the last 20. But #FIJ showed how to unlock the defence. Next match is going to be interesting.

#ENG off the pace so far. Some good looking stuff but not converted into points. #FIJ look right on song.

Terrific performance from Canada but the #RedRoses were irresistible. What a brilliant tournament.

Brilliant gutsy performance from the #RedRoses against a determined and skilful #France team. But #Canada will be a huge challenge in the final.

Great to see the KP full and humming again. #RedBulls.

Kudos to Samoa who kept going and got some points. #RedRoses had too much firepower.

Fantastic effort from Spain to get the try they deserved against New Zealand.

Bit disrespectful of NZL to only be fielding 13 players. Hope others don’t follow suit.

Scotland’s women were just too good this afternoon. Wales are up against it to get out of the group.

Terrific start from the #RedRoses against a USA team that never gave up.

#Lions hung on there. A lot of them looked out on the feet at the end. Wonder what is going on in camp. Fair play to #AUS. They can look forward to next week.

#NZL getting the best of some calls there. I wonder if #FRA can keep the intensity up. The punditry is marvellously one eyed.

If #NZLvFRA was champagne and #WARvLions stout I am not at all sure what #ARGvENG is …
