When you think of how many matches Parisse and AWJ played as well - it's damned I oressive from both BOD and Maro.

BOD was always excellent at the jackal - before anyone expected it of a back

Bosh get ****** wales

Ah I'm a HUGE fan of Kenningham! I actually wonder if his injury has allowed him to bulk up slightly and become better. He absolutely MUST go on the summer tour.

Underhill is off to France isn't he in the summer. I thought that's why they took Pepper of us so nicely.

Not AFAIK?

Suspected as a possibility, but not confirmed.
Worth noting, that he had a couple of caps since then, so may be feeling loved again

Weird not to see an openside on there.

@TRF_Olyy this should be a ban-able offence. Please don't allow behaviour like this to continue.

Hhmm I'd heard it was done..but to be fair not heard anything official yet. One to watch...

I'd heard it was part of the reason Pepper went there as part of their academy

@TRF_Olyy don't let him gaslight you, he supports the anarchy.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

BOD is one of my all time favourite players so I'll allow it

Signing Pepper was certainly part of Bath's forward planning to replace Underhill - but that's the case whether he is/was planning to move to France this summer, next year, after RWC27, or retiring on medical advice.

England also have a dilemma in the back row now.

Earl
B.Curry
T Curry
T Willis
CCS
(Pollock a little back)

All worthy of starting....

This is what annoys me. England have got plenty of good players to choose from but often they dont play to the sum of their parts.

 

[TW27BA]

Enjoyed today immensely. It's not everyday you demolish Wales in Cardiff. But being honest, the wins against France and Scotland were fortunate.
But I'll take that win today and savour it, not forgetting how poor Wales really are.

Many England players put their hand up for MotM.

Glad Ben Curry got it. I'll be the first to admit, I often said I got why he was on the fringes, but now he's seriously in the conversation to start.

YMA O HYDDD!!!

True, but a lot of that was before you had to come back through the gate.

On Itoje and AWJ, I wonder whether they're also including lineout steals as 'turnovers'?

He's been immense. Can't help but wonder what could have been if we'd given him a proper shot a bit sooner, but I guess the BR was pretty congested at times.
