Everyone is underestimating Wood/just expecting him to not put up a fight

He's like Tom Croft but a 7, imo

Top work in the lineout, and great in general play.


I'm not sure what to think about this match,

When you look at our team, compared to last year:

Foden > Armitage

Ashton > Monye

Tindall > Tait

Hape < Flood (but Floods playing 10 now so negates it)

Cueto = Cueto

Flood > Wilkinson

Youngs > Care

Easter = Easter

Wood > Moody

Haskell = Haskell

Palmer > Borthwick

Deacon = Shaw (Shaw is on better form these days, but going on his performance last year, and Deacons relatively decent form)

Cole > Wilson

Harley = Hartley

Sheridan > Payne


The team is improved in almost all positions.

The Welsh team has changed a lot as well, but a lot of it isn't necessarily for the better

Byrne for Hook

James for Stoddart

Hook for Davies

Cooper for Philips

Adam Jones for Mitchell

Charteris for Davies

Williams for Rees

Powell, Williams, Jones for Lydiate, Warburton, Powell


I think England will win
