Barnes completely blotto.

Too busy wanking himself into a frenzy every time Ben Youngs completed a pass.

This is pathetic.

England starting XV (523 caps) 15 Elliot Daly (Wasps, 29 caps), 14 Jack Nowell (Exeter Chiefs, 32 caps), 13 Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs, 21 caps), 12 Manu Tuilagi (Leicester Tigers, 31 caps), 11 Jonny May (Leicester Tigers, 44 caps), 10 Owen Farrell (Saracens, 69 caps) (captain), 9 Ben Youngs (Leices...

England squad for Scotland, Robson out with an illness so Spencer replaces him. Forwards Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers), Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter Chiefs), Tom Curry (Sale Sharks), Charlie Ewels (Bath Rugby), Ellis Genge (Leicester Tigers), Jamie George (Saracens), Nathan Hughes (Wasps), George Kruis (...

geordie_6

Does Cokanasiga jump ahead of Nowell as a starting winger for Scotland and beyond? Seen a few comments, on and off board, about his defensive positioning but I wouldn't say that either of Italy's scores were a direct result of his defending? The first try was Launchbury not being able to cover his c...

So, Teo. What's the point in him? Hopefully his selection was just for Italy, as his lack of pace on the drift felt like a big contributing factor to our narrowness in defence. Maaaaaaate, he's played super rugby and he's a big bloke. That's pretty much it as far as I can tell. :lol: If we continue...

geordie_6

Jamie George has a better left to right pass than Farrell

geordie_6

Teo and Manu :lol: Tough day for Italian 12 and 13s And our wings :lol: May seems to enjoy a good kick chase and Fiji Joe will be frequently called off his wing to truck it straight into the heart of the Italian pack, so they will be gainfully employed. That's 3 seriously heavy duty backline carrie...

geordie_6

Would have liked Robson to start but pleased with big Joe starting. Shields though, ffs!?

geordie_6

Robshaw and Joseph among those released from the squad. Ewels and Thorley retained as injury cover for Itoje and Nowell respectively.

Eddie has brought Super Mario, JJ and Robshaw (?) back into the 31 man squad for Italy: Forwards: Dan Cole, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Tom Curry, Ben Earl, Ellis Genge, Jamie George, Alec Hepburn, Nathan Hughes, Maro Itoje, George Kruis, Joe Launchbury, Ben Moon, Chris Robshaw, Brad Shields, Kyle Sinckler, ...

Conditions were foul especially in the second half. Left the house for the game annoyed I couldn’t find a light coat. Spent the second half freezing, getting wet and wishing I had more layers despite the heavy coat. Bloody hell, a Geordie who knows what the word 'coat' is. (My ma's from Whitley bay...

geordie_6

Momentum lost from the start of the second half which, combined with an unwillingness to adapt or use the impact from the bench, made for a painful last 40.

I'd like to see Genge start against Italy, and maybe Cokanasiga.

geordie_6

If Itoje is fit, which lock combination do we go for? Lawes was excellent yesterday and Kruis, though not as prominent, is our primary lineout caller. Then there is Launch who can be relied upon to perform every game. I'd be tempted to go with Launch and Itoje (the latter calling the lineout) with L...

You'd have to be a prize imbecile to look at that chart and think that the biggest weakness positionally is 10 and not 15 Without Faz, we have Ford who looks and plays like a frightened child or Cipriani who isn't being selected. How is that a position of strength? Because few people are as ridicul...

Daly to Sarries confirmed, 3 year deal.

Do we know what Sinckler did to wind up POM? Just push him over the touchline? POM calling him a f*cking stupid plum twice seemed excessive. Someone mentioned that Sinck gave him some lip, suggesting that he was feigning injury - seemed to rile POM a bit! :lol: 😂 nice. I have to admit though, I was...

I'd suggest 13, but Slade deserves to keep his place for next week. I'd also rather have JJ over both.

I was desperately trying to keep myself controlled and not terrify our 5 week old!

Wilson’s 6N debut, not flashy but thought he put in a lot of grunt work. His work rate (as we would expect) was exceptional. Did everything you want a 6 to do. Yup, that he can play across the back row and also fill in at the second row at pinch means he must be in the RWC squad. Hopefully in the s...

geordie_6

Any changes for next week? Lawes possibly in for Itoje if injured, next cab into the bench lock spot and possibly JJ onto the bench if he goes well for Bath tomorrow? Purely for the versatility.

geordie_6

Farrell, for the moment.

Loved that Sinckler managed to wind some one up rather than the other way around, for a change!

geordie_6

That was an exceptional performance. All across the team. Tactical kicking was excellent. Linespeed and intensity was excellent. So many positives to take from it.

Wilson has nailed down the 6 shirt imo.

geordie_6

Looking forward to the tournament, just not seeing an England win tomorrow as likely. Daly is going to be targeted all day long with the high ball, and when they have ball in hand there is essentially an empty shirt opposing them in the 13 channel. Really happy with most of the team, even accepted F...

Dombrandt, as promising as he looks, needs to get through a full season performing well before he's even mentioned in conversation for international selection. It remains to be seen if he's well conditioned enough to finish this maiden season with the intensity he started it. Disagree. When someone...

Don has had loads of time with Eddie, so it can't simply be what he's shown at club level holding him back. Jack Willis will hopefully get back into consideration in time for at least the camp, he could play 6 or 7 (or 8 at a real push) and is a lineout option. When is Willis due back, as he'll nee...

Maybe a bit. Although he was complete crap for Saints. Arguably Brookes is a bigger disappointment than Hill. At least Hill has a bit more time on his side to achieve his potential. Brookes is a massive guy and at one stage looked like he could usurp Cole as first choice tighthead for England, but ...
