Yes.
For the back row, I like Worsley at 7 if he's going to tackle like that every game. With him there it might be a bit easier to shut down fancy backs moves. Easter should, I think, be on his last chance. Either he gives a great game and proves everyone wrong against Ireland or he gets dropped to the bench and we let Narraway and Crane fight to the death over the starting spot. Also, I think Croft should be at 6. He's one of the more versatile flankers you'll see, and coming off the bench doesn't give him the same number of opportunities.

I'm not sure about giving Easter his one last chance. He proved of zero benefit in the Wales match and simply lived in the shadows of the rest of the back row.
I'd really like to see Steffon Armitage given another run out with Worsley at Blindside and possibly Narraway at 8, however I could see Johnson sticking with Easter.
Oh, and fat boy Goode to stay at Fly Half and destroy any chances of an entertaining match. Has anyone noticed the resemblance between him and Oscar the Grouch. Just seen it on the planet rugby website.

Goode has been good in attack, shows imagination with chips and grubbers. Place kicking ok. Tackling poor.
Not the full package, but is there anyone who might do a better job for England? Anyone who could get the cart horses in the centre to go for that sporty entertaining stuff?
Wilkinson?

thought the ancient britons were celts... anyway this all starts when the Anglo-saxons came to England and booted all the celts into the extreme parts of Britain. Blame Hengist and Horsa guys.
[/b][/quote]
The Ancient Britons were Proto-Celts that is to say they were there before the actual Celts proper came along.
And it was the Romans who came up with the name Britain (i.e. Britanni or Brittanni which is Latin for Briton or British.)
So for the name British or Britain don't blame us Ireland, blame Italy!
EDIT: If it helps any of you guys, the Greeks referred to the British Isles as insula Albionum or "Isles of the Albions."
Crackin' name or what, eh lads?

Don't blame me, Munsterman, blame the Romans!
And you do realise there are probably a couple million ancient Britons who have a huge beef with the Celts, Romans, Normans and Barbarians who flooded over here in the past 1500 years

Wait, wasn't what the Romans called Britain just England and Wales? Ireland was Hibernia and Scotland Caledonia?

Well yes and no.
The Greeks and Romans collectively called the Isles either Βρεττανιαι or Britanni respectively. However, there were other names but these were applied to the peoples. So the the Irish were the Hiberni, the Scots the Picts and collectively known as Pritani.
The name still stands and sadly you still have to blame Italy for the name, sorry

Britain comes from Brutus, a refugee from Troy and descendant of Aeneas who founded Rome. So Brutish empire and all that. Also Popeye's Nemesis.
It's just a legend, a bit like the ridiculous tradition that the Irish come from Spain and have little to do with the celts, apart from the language. Oh, hang on - modern science says it's kind of true!
Seems the only true celts are from Wales and south-west England (hence the smell).
May the celts get smashed at Croker.
