[2017 Six Nations] - England

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

We already have Scott, Twelvetrees, Trinder, Symons, Atkinson and there's a rumour Mills is on the way back, with Marshall and Purdy who can cover centre too. Not sure how many centres a team can need!

If you want to stop being 8th in the table, maybe you should be trading up!

 

[ratsapprentice]

Mills might not be a bad target for Sale - I like Jennings, but a distributor he aint...

God, how is that even a debate they're having. It's literally not something I've ever had to think about. The only thing I'll say about the "additional entertainment" is how much I ****ing hate that song sweet Caroline and now it's somehow become one of the main anthems at Twickenham. Like, why that song? Makes me want to kill everyone singing it. Promise I'm not a sociopath...

This could see Yarde move disappointingly close to a spot in the 23

 

[Peat]

Could do. Slightly doubt it.

My money is on Care/Daly and either a 6th forward or one of Slade and Te'o.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

That's my hope, too (though not sold on what little I've seen of Te'o). if Watson is broken I would like to see Daly start at FB vs Italy, it feels like a good time to start exploring some options there.

 

[NickBD]

So Watson ruled out for first 3 games of 6N. May probably deserved his place but puts an end to the debate for now.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Certainly does. If May gets hurt our back 3 starts to look a little pedestrian though.

Totally academic, but I was idly musing earlier on what sort of tune Eddie might have got out of Delon Armitage.

He's an obnoxious prick, Jones would almost certainly have made him a vice-captain!

A back three of Delon-Brown-Ashton and a back row of Haskell-Steffon-Wood might have been... Interesting.

would have led to the greatest prop bet ever... will either mike brown or chris ashton punch the other during the match?

 

[Peat]

Tbh, Delon might have been too much of a pillock even for Jones.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

So hot on the heels of Kruis' miracle recovery in the autumn, Marler's now going to be fit about 30 seconds after it was announced he'd got a broken leg! Can only assume Eddie has added a witch doctor to the medical team.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Pretty sure he has shares in Cyberdyne Systems and is just cloning up some terminator forwards whilst sticking the broken ones in stasis. Unfortunately the Vunipolas are just too damn big to fit in the cryotube and got upset at the fact that they wouldn't be able to eat while frozen

I heard they tried to eat the witch doctor. Apparently it's a religious thing, due to being brought up in Wales. Nutty Christians.

 

[TW27BA]

Mako and Watson ready to return for Italy. Billy V could be fit for Ireland.

[ratsapprentice]

Would not be surprised to see Watson at FB at all.

According to this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-un...pola-set-give-england-six-nations-grand-slam/

1. Mako, 2. George, 3. Sinckler

Faz to 10, Te'o starting, with Tony potentially coming in at FB.

That would be stunning ... think I'd like to see the back 5 of the scrum remain the same other than Haskell coming in for Clifford
