[QUOTE="spartan32, post: 893832, member: 72322"] Really not sure about this one. It’s an exciting back three but Daly just back from injury and that combo untested against a resurgent France could be a recipe for disaster. Then we have the back row which is just not really up to scratch. And for me we have a passion issue. We just don’t ever look like we really want it. Not from 1-23 in any event. This is a vital test for England. If we were NZ (who we apparently aspire to be as great as) we would have shaken off this loss and come out and blow the next team away and reassert ourselves as the no. 1 team in world rugby, and that’s exactly what we have to do here. Anything less and the blood will be in the water and any psychological afvantage and strength we have developed over the last couple of years will start to quickly wain. If we can come out today, stick a bonus point on France and go on to win the 6 nations it would be a huge statement. In fact even just winning the next two games would show some strong resilience and mental fortitude. But should we lose I think it could be very damaging. Let’s just hope the lads can find their passion today and translate that into points. [/QUOTE]
