Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread

I quite like the suggestion of Ben Earls at 12.

Malins to full back.

Smith on the wing.

Farrell on the bench comes on if we need to close the game out.

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread

Farrell 6 meters out with 3 England players outside him put in a grubber. I screamed
I noticed that and I screamed as well, we did that a couple of times. There seems to be a lack of spatial awareness at times.

Re: The Wheel of Time (Amazon Series)

Watched the first episode, Rosamund Pike is miscast, no depth at all to the character. I would have cast Gina Mackee or similar.

Watson is a cracking player. Really strong all round game and beats the first defender more times than he has any right to.

Agree with the comments about Faz, but we are were we are. Tuilagi should be an inside centre in the classic mold but cannot pass, kick, or tackle. So Ford / Faz / Tuilagi or JJ or Slade is what we have. Our biggest problem (and has been since 2003) is scrum-half, anybody any ideas why ?
