"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" is a historic American Negro spiritual song"

"God Save the Queen" is the de facto British national anthem"

so what is actually English identity in terms of thier songs ?

But you were so keen to talk about the game a few minutes ago, why the sudden change?

You got about 3 of them?

Excellent by Robshaw. 9 and 15 are going well enough, as long as it doesn't touch any of the rest of the backline.

Double

Lawes ripped the ball there, unlucky but he's always going to get pinged with his back to the ref.

Shit player, shit attitude. That should be a yellow, we're lucky.

Was that Brian Moore yelling 'No' as Farrell got held up?

"They haven't won here in two years"

So that'll be since the uh.. last time they played here?

Foden hoping to be back playing this weekend apparently. It'd be nice to have a number 23 who adds something, perhaps he'll be in for Wales and Italy. Is it possible to reverse EPS injury replacements in the middle of the tournament? Ahead of goode? Yes. To be honest I'd rather see Watson coming of...

Have to say that personally, right now I'd put Burrell at 12 and Tuilagi at 13, 36 still hasn't made ths shirt his own. Why did Launch come off, just sub I hope, not injury (ill toddler made for awkward viewing). A few more upgrades would help, but with this pack and even mediocre backs (who play r...

No defending Youngs from me this time, the Scots lineout was diabolical, and Hartley would have nailed both those lineouts. Vunipola... Bash, crash, cheeky offload? Oh yes! Is it me, or are we beginning to play to potential? Yes there were lots of errors, and we should have had another 9 points (Fa...

I remember his performance in the semi against Saints, he played exactly the way he did in the Autumn that followed. Not even the best 13 at Saracens.

Double

Well, at least our expectations are low. Going into the Tomkins debacle the general feeling on this board seemed to be 'Yeah, he'll do an okay job'. If Burrell doesn't turn over the ball more than 6 times and only concedes a couple of intercept passes then we'll have a net gain on what expected - an...

Double

Looking more and more like Burrell will be playing 13 for England. Then we're pretty much screwed. JJ, Barritt and possibly even Trinder would be better options at 13. I only wrote that because I knew it would turn openclashXX into Mr angry. There is nothing unreasonable about being angry at Burrel...

Double

Have you got the figures for percentage conversions only? I know for example Myler turns down a lot of kicks that he can't make, since Saints have a good maul, where a team with a better goalkicker might go for posts. Teams generally have the same random spread of conversions so I have a theory tha...

Late changes, O'Brien out for Jennings and Waldouck out for Collins (North to 13, Collins to 11).
Any chance of a coherent Saints attack goes out of the window.

Double

Has there been a single Northampton poster on this thread? We're still trying to forget about the last one. I predict that Saints will come out of the blocks flying, get within meters of the try line in the first 5 minutes, then concede an intercept try and completely capitulate to a 50 point defeat.

Double

It's a specialist position in it's own right, sure some wingers find it easy to move in and out of 15 but you can't just go in cold with no real experience. I have more sympathy this time because it was an injury during the warm up that took out Wilson so there wasn't much opportunity to find a dec...

Absolutely brutal.

Savea intercept try to win it.

Barrett tearing Ireland apart every time he gets the ball.

Double

It's a little disappointing to watch this slip out of Ireland's grasp, but probably for the good of the board.

Shades of England '12; Ireland monumentally up for this, breaking every tackle and smashing every ruck.

Why is it that the funds from a club competition are divided by union rather than by club in the first place? It seems to make as much sense as dividing the 6 nations money according to how many club sides contribute to each national team.

Double

For what it's worth, Lawes is currently in training to succeed Day as lineout caller for Northampton. He's had a few games this season where he's run it, I think, and it's gone reasonably well.

JM2K6 wrote:Eastmond has done the least to deserve a starting place.

From within the season I'd agree but if you're promoting solely on the merit of these last 2 games he's probably gone better than both of them. I don't think he'd work well at 13 though.

Anyone have the stats for Joseph against the Baabaas? From what I saw he had a fairly mediocre game when the rest of the backline were going very well. I think Burrell went fairly well yesterday, one missed tackle aside, good carries and some very nice offloads, one of the few players who didn't kn...

Most promising stream so far is here:

Currently only showing placeholders, but it was on Argentinian ESPN+ earlier.

http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/news/story?id=1815499&s=rug&type=story Apparently today's match WILL be televised on (Presumably Argentinian) "ESPN Play", but no one over here has been able to pick it up. So there's a chance of a stream, but you'll have to look hard for it. 19.30 BST kickoff isn't it?

Hape was an unequivocally terrible. He was the worst continued selection of an era of English rugby defined by exceptionally poor selections.
Eastmond offers some good attacking rugby at club level, but inconsistently and rarely. Not yet an international standard player.
