Think you've got Sale confused with someone else. All looseheads (Rodd, McIntyre, Harrison and Onasanya) and tightheads (Schonert, Opoku-Fordjour and Harper) in the squad are EQP. That being said, we did just sign Willgriff John on an emergency loan as Schonert is injured, so there is one foreign pl...

Yep, his ceiling is huge. Not only are his basics superb but he's a ridiculous athlete. So physical and fast for a scrum-half.
As you say he just needs to stay fit.

45jumper

Well well well. Seems Sanderson wasn't bluffing when he said we'd been focusing on our attack. Some great performances, Roebuck showed how good he is and Curry made a monumental difference. So physical on both sides of the ball, a joy to watch. Ford marshalled things nicely and Quirke made a big imp...

Cokanasiga man if the match?! fudge off.

Seriously.
That is absolutely laughable. Had two walkins and all at sea defensively.

45jumper

Opoku has just been absolutely melted in the scrum by a 32yo Saffer journeyman... :uhoh: He's 19 years old with a child second row behind him. That being said our bench have been shambolic, we've fallen apart. Lack of depth has cost us any chance of a win. Big questions for Sanderson and the coachi...

For all the praise of Big Joe with the ball, he's been godawful every time he's been called on defensively. He just looks like he doesn't know where he's supposed to be, or who is his man. Lawrence looking bloody great. Spencer too. The pass for that last try was immense. Agreed with all of that. A...

Quinn Roux on his knees there to turn it over

Some good bits so far in this game.

It's absolutely insane. Care is surely done now? Although he should've been retired years ago.
Spencer seems tailor-made for test rugby but has never got a proper shot. Very strange.

45jumper

Oh god, Austin Healey bigging up Cokanasiga for England

45jumper

Only saw bits and pieces of the Sarries game yesterday. Was it Beard at 13? His defence was absolutely abject.

45jumper

Rodd is going to be a very, very good prop. His scrummaging is good for his age but his point of difference is over the ball, he's as good as an openside and his handling is absolutely superb. He should benefit from the rumoured (much needed) coaching changes at Sale in the summer. Our forwards rare...

Daly is a waste of space. No threat, no pace, no physicality, no ability in the air. Cannot wait until he's permanently turfed out, he offers absolutely nothing. That being said, I'm hugely encouraged by that performance. We gifted them two tries and some of our tries were lovely. Ford back to form ...

Might be Daly too.

45jumper

Cokanasiga will never, ever, ever be a proper test winger.
He punches woefully below his weight, has no kicking game, is a liability in defence and isn't very quick either.

45jumper

Get Ford off, good grief. Been crap for Sale all season, no idea how he's starting for England.

45jumper

No way that Waboso turnover any less legal than Aki's earlier.

45jumper

Marcus Smith has yet to look wholly at home in test rugby, but he'll never get a better chance than in a game like this. England forwards are up for it and we have different threats across the backline. Ford has been largely woeful.

45jumper

Furbank making a big difference IMO, timing his runs to the line really well. Offers a ballplayer unlike tugboat Steward.

45jumper

Exceptional England start. Enjoying it so far

45jumper

Feyi Waboso replacing Elliot Daly. 8) Excellent news. Mind you, I thought we'd finally moved on from Daly when Eddie jettisoned him a few years back so I won't get too excited. What better time to bring in a young player than against the best team in the tournament. He'll have plenty of opportunity...

45jumper

Would be happy with that. Ford has been largely diabolical and should never have been picked on form. His England form is exactly what he's been doing for Sale: sloppy in general play with constant kicking. And as for Care: he's 37 bloody years old and looked off the pace against a poor Australia te...

This isn't players suddenly becoming shite at holding onto the ball. Lawrence doesn't suddenly go from tearing it up for Bath to looking this bad.

People using the Premiership as an excuse need to wake up.

What did he say? Turned it off as soon as it finished.

45jumper

Lawrence was abysmal today but he shouldn't be consigned to the scrapheap. Need to find a 13, Freeman's done well on the wing with pitifully limited ball so I'd keep him there. As crap as Slade has been I'd probably stick with him and Lawrence for the next two games. As long as that useless wimp Dal...

45jumper

I wonder what that throbber 'Cocker' from Eggchasers will come up with to defend Ford, Daly and the likes after that.

45jumper

Come on chaps you can see the signs are there. There are finally some clear attack patterns emerging in addition to kick and chase. The precision was way too sloppy but compare with the performances in last year's 6N. Some players that should be gone though Daly, Roots, Daly, Care, Daly, Daly, Daly...

So many of England's issues would be helped by better selection. If we do want to play more expansively, why pick a fly half who kicks the leather off it every chance he gets? Why pick a 37 year old scrum half who was off the pace several years ago at test level? Why pick a left-winger who was too ...

How the hell hasn't Feyi-Waboso played earlier. He's absolutely electric and that useless wit kant Daly has been wandering around to no effect for about five years. Borthwick's selection is absolutely shocking. To be fair, Feyi was quite Welsh until last month. :lol: You know what I meant you cheek...

Borthwick's selection is absolutely shocking. Almost as bad as Brace's ability to call 'maul'.

He literally only gets picked for a supposed 'playmaking' ability and a big left boot. He has been shit for years and years, I hate him.

45jumper

Lawrence has had an utter horror show today. Abysmal.

45jumper

Daly too f**king slow to reach the kick. I'm so sick of seeing him prance around to no avail at test level. IFW looks absolutely superb, must start next game.

45jumper

England are a shambles, no structure whatsoever, they have no idea what they're trying to do.

45jumper

That line is a thing of beauty. Delicious

45jumper

Pathetic attacking from England. Thank god Smith's on.

45jumper

Ford blindly belting the ball away yet a f**king gain. Get him off for Christ's sake. Freeman and Lawrence haven't seen the ball yet!

45jumper

What in god's name was Spencer doing there?! England have no structure when it goes past a couple of phases.

Slade is shite but would Daly add any more? I'd hook Daly and Ford for IBW and Smith but theres no chance Borthers does that.
