[QUOTE="ageingback23, post: 1178418, member: 87113"] I’m pretty happy with that team. Glad to see FW get a chance to show what he can do. Good balance in the backs. Glad we didn’t go for all out power with Manu and Laurence. Also I rate Slade. Surprised about Furbank but not upset by it. England have everything on the pitch they need to run Ireland hard, it’s whether it all clicks on the day. The lads are going to need to be super aggressive. They have to win the collisions, if they don’t, and end up constantly on the wrong side after contact it will penalty after penalty, or there won’t be enough people in the defensive line for it to hold. Also got to hold the scrum solid. I’m not sure we’ve got enough power in there to beat the Irish back so we need to honest about that and just get the pill out of the scrum fast or risk endless turn overs. Shame the weather isn’t looking too great, but you can’t have everything. [/QUOTE]
