If he regains his previous form after injury Jac Morgan is in with a big shout in the back row. That is one area where the Lions are spoilt for choice.
Looking forward to this one. Could go either way, but home advantage swings it just for me.
As for George North, fantastic player in his heyday. Good luck to him. I'm glad he is retiring as he has taken too many bad head knocks for his own good (much like Sam Underhill)
Two unexpected wins today and I'm delighted. Even if we lose in Paris next week, there are enough positives to take from this game to be optimistic for the future. It's a performance all England fans have been waiting for.
Earl is now nailed on, I FW and Freeman look the part and Chessum may...
Thoroughly deserved win for Italy. Really pleased for them and you could see how much it meant to them at the final whistle.
Scotland should never have lost this from 17-8 ahead. But to see that smug grin wiped of Russell's face was enough for me.
I'm enjoying it too. Started slowly but picked up nicely by Episode3. The CGI effects are superb.
But not a nod to the RAF, making anyone unaware think the US Airforce did it all on their own.
It's rare any collaboration between Spielberg and Hanks fails and this is no exception.
I had to Google WUM.
I post Allez Les Bleus and I'm a wind up merchant? Give me strength!
So just like you in any England thread you mean?;)
Anyway, completely the wrong thread for any England/Scotland banter.
I think you know very well what I'm suggesting but to please you, I think Ireland will win all remaining games and win a Slam.
Without looking at the record books it must be a while since any side retained that feat. This Ireland side is capable.
v England at Twickenham may be a banana skin but...
I don't if its been mentioned previously, too many pages to look back through, but can really recommend "Kin" a Dublin based gang related family drama. Series i now on the BBC I-Player and the second series on other streaming platforms;)
Plenty of graphic violence, and excellent casting...
So how many days are we looking at before Eddie signs up as Japan's head coach?
It's already a given isn't it?
I'll give it until the end of November for the dust to settle.
If nothing else, one good find (well two really, George Martin) out of this RWC has been the emergence of Theo Dan.
By the end of the 6 nations I'd expect to see him as #1 hooker with his potential.
