RWC: Argentina - England (10-09-2011, 20:30)

Oh well, assming Lawes is to miss the next few games I think we should be changing our second-row completely. Palmer should be there anyway, and then we should swap Deacon for Shaw. Other than that, most of the changes I would make are in the forwards. Plus flood and youngs who i think need gametime.

My team for Romania:

1) Stevens.
2) Hartley.
3) Cole.
4) Shaw
5) Palmer
6) Croft
7) Wood
8) Haskell
9) Youngs
10) Flood
11) Cueto
12) Tindall
13) Tuilagi
14) Ashton
15) Foden.
 
Just to clarify, its not the nastiest piece of action Ive seen in a game, and it should only be a minimum 3 week suspension, but I dont accept it was in any way accidental. Lawes has so much prior history already of dodgy late tackles, its part of his modus operandi. This was just another bad and late tackle.

Backed up by the fact that he's been cited so many times. Yep.

It doesn't look great on the replay, as someone said before it looks more clumsy than malicious. Problem was he was steaming in at close to full speed, but he didn't take enough avoiding action.
 
I see England might get a fine for the numbers pealing of the shirts... Apparently they had them fixed on while in NZ, by a NZ company (in a country where lots of people are afronted by the shirt colour). Seriously, how dumb can you get?

Come on ffs. You would swear you were a Saints fa ............ oh I see.

Oh and fixed that for you.

I concur - However I think that we'll see 6. Wood, 7. Moody

And you're an Ireland fan discussing an England player so we can hardly expect you to be particularly objective either. Incidents at full speed always look worse when slowed down - I think it's fair that this is looked at, but on a scale of 1 to Bakkies Cudmore I feel that it's less than 5.

Your Irish too arent you? I think he called you a racist too. Or is it a bigot?

Maybe he can clarify
 
Oh dear hiding behind the R word, people who normally hide behind words like racist and bigot are the ones it normally applies too

Don't want to see Shaw and Cueto on an international rugby field again - name one good thing either has done for England in the past 3 years. Back row needs to show some initiative and aggression at the breakdown - let us pray Fourie gets better and a call up!

If you even suggest that Banahan should be involved.....:mellow:
 
Alright, Him calling you a racist is racist but you calling him a racist because he called you a racist is racist racist :p?
You inferring that both of them are racist is racist, racist.
