Re: House of Rugby
My read was that there was an implication they were also in the 2019 squad, based on Sam mentioning taking to Eddie. Because of how he discussed Ford, I don't think it's him. That doesn't leave that many, as they would have had to be reasonably senior in 2013 to have an impact. Therefore, one of You...

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...

4. Mako V
5. Billy V
6. George
7. Underhill
8. Kruis
But the difference between 2-8 is so minimal (which imo highlights that the current England pack is rather good)

Glad the bocs won. Wales' ariel game, and Davies rushing Youngs could have been our downfall. Feeling reasonably confident that we can match the SA set piece, and that we have the ability in the backs to expose their defensive weaknessea

Re: Congrats Wales and AB's
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. As they trample through England on Saturday morning and I'm 9 pints down to reduce the pain I might be saying otherwise, but I ...

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

Is it in NZs interest to loose to Italy in order to knock SA out. 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...
