[QUOTE="MarkyH, post: 887538, member: 73780"] The Welsh would be foolish to believe that all their problems are sorted by thrashing a naive Scotland team who gave away scores. They'd also be foolish to believe that going wide quickly to expose England in the wide channels is the way to win, that's what Scotland did against you lot and it played into your hands. Likewise, England would be incredibly naive to think that with the occasional quick ball Vs Italy that our backrow is sorted, it's not, and it's not competitive enough at the breakdown still. If Wales secure quick ball they will be dangerous, and if they keep us narrow they will earn the right to go wide and expose us. Also, the scrum will be a lot more equal too, so no playing for penalties from the set piece, Wales are strong enough here and it could go against us. Tactically it should be fascinating :) I'd pick the same England team, maybe Underhill for Lawes. England by 10. Should be a good game. [/QUOTE]
