<_<

Why don't we get the discussion back to rugby eh? I've got a nice friendly rugby related exercise for you.

The team buses crash on the way to Twickers - The starting 15 of both teams are injured in the accident. Kickoff's been delayed by a day. As coach, make your call ups and name your new starting 15's.

I will start us off -

England -
1.Marler
2.Mears(Over J.George in terms of experience)
3.Stevens
4.Palmer
5.Borthwick (I know - For his experience and lineout expertise)
6.Wood
7.Johnson
8.Waldrum
9.K Dickson?
10.Flood
11.Sharples
12.May
13.twelvetrees
14.JSD
15.Brown

Excuse my selection. But it’s hard when your only prem rugby action comes from watching ITV highlights as you don't have sky. So please be gentle with your criticism.

I think this is going to be a great match and very close, if it is going to be anything like the 2006 6 nations England v Ireland game it should be good.

 

[Irishflanker]

Here is my stab at a depleted Ireland squad:

15. F.Jones
14. D.Kearney
13. E.O'Malley
12. L.Fitzgerald
11. S.Zebo
10. I.Keatley
9. P.Marshall
8. J.Coughlan
7. C.Henry
6. J.Muldoon
5. R.Caldwell
4. D.Tuohy
3. J.Andress
2. R.Strauss (Is he I.Q yet? I know that he has already trained with the team.)
1. B.Wilkinson

16. M.Sherry
17. J.Hagan
18. D.Toner
19. D.Wallace
20. I.Boss
21. P.Wallace
22. G.Murphy

There are actually a good few others who could be picked for the backrow...
