Anyway now that we've all seen exactly why you shouldn't drink while pregnant....... Apparently our squad announcement was pushed back to 4. Makes me think someone is only 50/50 to play, probably Kelleher.

Thornley's (see alpha bros profile picture) probable team reads this:

Keenan; Hansen, Henshaw, Aki, Lowe; Sexton (capt), Gibson-Park; Porter, Sheehan, Furlong, Baird, Ryan, O'Mahony, van der Flier, Doris.

Replacements: Kelleher/Herring, Healy, O'Toole, Treadwell/Molony, Conan, Murray, Byrne, O'Brien.

Nothing very surprising there unless someone pulls out through fitness.

Still ignoring me I see

Yes

Ours isn't until 5, which is also weird

Late decisions after training?

Possibly. Maybe because it's also exactly 48 hours before kick off?

That is the team I have heard from inside. Kelleher the late call. If fit he is 16. Tradwell is 19 and Jimmy O'B 23

Is that a usual thing?

Pretty sure that's right as the Scotland team was out just after 12:30pm

Delighted with JOB on the bench. Unfortunate for McCloskey but last week showed the importance of versatility. Also the fact that JOB is a big talent helps.

Well he earned it and I think Ringrose was the cover for wing etc. When he goes we are more restricted in cover so JOB will offer versatility at a high level.

To win a world cup you need at least 4 to 5 players that would make a World Team \
here is the list of england and welsh players that could make a team like that :

To be fair he's not wrong with this one

I like it. Enough to get us by

Cracking team... I think a lot of the performance depends on Henshaw, historically he has taken a little time post injury to get back up to speed

I think Mack might take more playmaking responsibility on to ease the burden on Henshaw. If he has a top class defensive performance, which he generally does at a minimum, we'll be fine down that channel.

Oh yeah, I'd 100% back him against North, I dont think we'll see a lot of the sleight of hand coming at him, or a lot of variety in attack
Be interesting to see actually, hopefully i clicks as he's the one variable I can see

Will be more than good enough.

Every time I see Conan's name I just want him to play for the Baa-Baas for the cheap headline.

Changed my mind. England by 10

Owen Farrell was driving to Hendon when he picked up a hitchhiker. The grateful passenger started chatting about sports, and soon got to rugby.

"I just think England would be better if they had a bit of ambition to play. They should move the ball across the back line a bit more".

Farrell shook his head angrily. "Wait a minute, pal. Do you not know who I am?"

"Of course", said the passenger. "Do you not know who I am?"

Farrell got even angrier. "Why should I know who you are?"

The passenger says, "Faz, I'm your outside centre!"
