quite soon

 

[Dizzy]

This shall be an interesting match. I will predict Wales gain a win here. 33-26...

 

[Feicarsinn]

If the Welsh win they could easily do a Slam. If the pick up any momentum they'll be the most dangerous team in the tournament. So an English victory would do nicely

So an English victory would do nicely

That one's being saved for posterity.

No problem. You guys we can handle, but an on form Welsh backline gives me the creeps.

Unless Johnson tells the lads to just drop the ball everytime they get it, and we can win by 103 penalty tries

 

[Feicarsinn]

Dropping the ball has been a vital part of English rugby since 2003 hasn't it?

Only if your name is Ben Kay!

 

[IRFU]

Although I think Wales have a good chance of winning the Six Nations, I see England winning but a very close match and a potential draw.

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

Shane and North out- That's our most poetant attacking weapon and our new wonderkid missing. Think England losing Foden and Youngs and you're half way there. Mind you, Halfpenny should be back, as should Roberts (And possibly Gav) so that's something.

Wales win this, they could win the 6 Nations and the World Cup. That's how big this match is. (Note 'could')

 

[Dougydeluxe]

What is North out with?

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

Shoulder injury. had an op last thursday.

 

[Dougydeluxe]

How did he get that/how did I miss that.

 

[Draggs]

What is North out with?

Banned by the IRB. Too much power for one individual.

I still wouldn't rule Brew, Harries, or James out based on the one game they each had, and you still cannot forget Prydie or Fussell.

Gethin might be out, he needs surgery for his calf issue.

What I'd like to see

15 Prydie/Evans/Priestland (Byrne isn't up to it anymore, we need a WC fullback)
14 Halfpenny (Starting 14, even over North)
13 Henson (12 by nature, would have to adapt to 13 for Roberts, but could do so)
12 Roberts (The dream centre pairing)
11 Take your pick
10 Hook (Not a 15, 13, 12, Sorry Wellies)
09 Phillips (Improved over the duration of the AIs)
08 R Jones (Who else have we got?)
07 Warburton (Improving with every game)
06 Lydiate (Best 6 in Wales)
05 AW Jones (Form slowly improving)
04 Davies (Best SR in Wales)
03 AR Jones (No reason needed)
02 Matthew Rees (Captain)
01 Paul James (Solid in scrums. No Gethin, but who is?)

16 Owens
17 Andrews/Bevington/Mitchell (We need at least one young prop for the WC)
18 Evans (Improving after injuries, who else is there?)
19 I'd say Martyn right now, but Faletau is promising. Not JT though
20 Rees/Knoyle
21 Tovey/Priestland (Don't kill me CyRil/Cymro)
22 Depends on who starts and who is 21. Jonathan Davies is possible, as he can cover centre and allow Roberts/Henson to fill anywhere in the backs)

Gaahhh, when will people realise that Brew, whilst good at ML level (this season) is not up to International standard.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How did he get that/how did I miss that.

Official press release thing was only today:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/welsh/9265279.stm

I was as surprised as you when I saw people were talking about it before the release

 

[Draggs]

Gaahhh, when will people realise that Brew, whilst good at ML level (this season) is not up to International standard.

I agree with you, I was just mentioning the wings of the AIs.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

England to win this one based on AI's but the 6nations doesn't care much for AI's form does it.

Because he looks half decent when playing for the Dragons :lol:
