15-24 with a bp for 4 tries. Agree not Charlie’s finest 80 mins but a fair few mistakes across the team .
But a win is a win especially considering against closest rivals .
Charlie seems to have been watching Marcus Smith and working on his own hitch-kick.
As other said, that was not a good day at work for Charlie. One hitch kick ended up with him falling over. One burst out of defence beat of a load of players, and then he simply dropped the ball. Initially, he was given the job of kicking for touch from penalties, but kept messing that up as well. His long kicks when running back towards the oppo usually went straight to them, and he placed them where we had no hope of the chase. Other than one high ball he simply didn't get to catch (he could have, but let it bounce - badly) he took the rest OK, and tackled well.
England must be very short of decent U20 full backs to field Charlie on that form.
I think he was too nervous and tried too hard. Relax Charlie, it will come right.
