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: 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. I think Joe's great, but he's very one dimensional and has glaring weaknesses, especially at test level. No way should he be leapfrogging Watson in the pecking order at the mo...

I don't understand why people are using the scrum as the only excuse. The best scrum doesn't always win-that is not a rule. There were plenty of other failings too. Tend to agree with this.

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 ?
