Wales v England

[An Tarbh]

Wales look set to delay naming their team by 24 hours to give Shane Williams, Ryan Jones and Gavin Henson more time to prove their fitness ahead of the game, according to RTÉ

 

[cyRil]

Wales favourites to give England a battering, with many Welshmen predicting a rout?!

So this is what the 70s was like...


It disturbs me that everyone on here is so confident over a Welsh win! Oh eck, I can see it now!!

 

[Prestwick]

Don't worry lads, England's lot are stout, stubborn and resolute in their unwavering resolve to..eh? What?

*is passed something to read*


....

 

[An Tarbh]

oh good lord that's frighteningly embarrassing.

what do they expect for the dross they're serving up.

 

[An Tarbh]

Tindall and Monye look set for recalls according to the BBC, although it won't make much difference who's in the backline as long as the forwards keep providing such slow ball.

 

[Prestwick]

If Monye is set for a recall....who are they going to drop?

I hope it wasn't Cueto, like him or loathe him at least he made an effort to do something with the ball and probably looked the most comfortable other than Nick Kennedy.

 

[An Tarbh]

well to the squad at least, whether they play or not remains to be seen. You'd think it would be for Cueto given he went with Monye and Sackey during the Autumn.

Good form schmud form as far as the England Selection Panel are concerned.

Interesting that Paul Hodgson, Jordan Crane and some random guy from Newcastle have been called up too...

is that just for training purposes or do they have a genuine chance of playing?

 

[Prestwick]

Hodgson has been called up as cover for Ellis while Crane and the Newcastle chap have been called up to train and provide cover in case the bumps, bruises and mental damage caused by the loud, riotous and the generally passive Twickenham crowd turn into something serious.

at least it'll be a tame enough atmosphere come Saturday, so they should be fine.

 

[Prestwick]

With any luck, the Welsh fans should mistake England for the u-16s warm up act that always happens on the run up to a match day.

"Awww, look! Its like they're actually playing touch rugby for Shane Williams!"

Any Welshmen want to adopt me for the day?

He should be, because if he contrives to loses to that team his head will be hoisted on Cardiff castle walls for crows to peck at.

I think he's pretty safe... Even Phil Scolari could train Chel$ki to beat that pathetic bunch of misfits.
