Is there not a thread dealing with post RWC England without stuffing up this thread as well?

I'm looking forward to how our pretty much first choice pack fares against another experienced set of French forwards- it's got nearly twice the number of caps of that from the first game.

Who is the ref for tomorrow's match?

There isn't, but I will make one specifically for the topic and we can take it there. JUST FOR YOU.

Jaco Peyper

I'm worried that Burrell will play well tomorrow and push slate out of the squad. I hate to say it but I'd rather he have a mare and the. Slade and burgess can go and 12trees/ Burrell can stay.

 

[TobesHodges]

Arr Jaco is a very good ref probs my fav..

 

[goodNumber10]

I think this could be a cracking game...

 

[bertiec]

What about Cole? Good over a ball, like a 7but bigger, good in the scrum and carries. Burrell, 36, Barrett and care should stay back home. Missing manus theat imo.

You are too kind!! Unfortunately, will not be able to comment for next n days as en route to over there!!

England should win this one comfortably and put the French out of their misery.

 

[Grizwald]

I don't mind Burrell too much, but I reckon he's firmly in the camp of 'good premiership player that won't make the international grade'. He's got plenty of company anyhow, thing is there are some who've been a feature of this England side for a while.

 

[TobesHodges]

Please no Burrell.. Slade and Burgess army

 

[The Jones Boy]

I don't think Slade and Burgess will get a look in, because... at this late stage coaches are mostly looking for experience and incumbents to step up up as known entities, rather than potential.
I would pick Burgess in a heartbeat over someone like Barritt, because Burgess has truckloads of energy, tackling ability, leadership and he can attack and support but... Lancaster will most likely go for the devil he knows over a potential...

 

[TobesHodges]

Slade will be dropped sadly.. And Burrell will go, I'm really looking forward to this match, though I'm town tomorrow night, so will be watching through the beer goggles and be chatting up filth at the bar..

 

[goodNumber10]

Lol @ Filth. What an unpleasant term.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Admitting to a fetish for police officers?

You bloody lad.

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

You bloody lad.

You find all the best talent in sports bars.

 

[TobesHodges]

I predict England by 18 tomorrow and Bill is going to bosh someone..
