Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread

Mallinder on the wing is interesting. Like everyone else, I haven’t seen him play for a long time, but while I do recall him being deceptively quick, I wouldn’t have said he had the gas to play on the wing? He has a massive stride and is fairly quick once he gets going, but he's not rapid. The Sain...

But the difference between 2-8 is so minimal (which imo highlights that the current England pack is rather good)

The ABs perhaps do better than the odds under Owens, but (imo) that's more to do with them suiting an open game, which Owens encourages, than that he actively favours them.

Bit of a side note, but after that set move with Watson at first receiver, that's every one of the backs apart from Tuilagi stepping in at least once. Seems much higher than I woild normally expect

They can top the group with 2 loosing bonus points, with Italy second (assuming they also get the 4 try bonus) :D They run the risk of coming 2nd then. No guarantee Italy can beat SA , in fact most likely the opposite. Do you mean no...
