Howley bottled it.
Should have started with
Biggar, Halfpenny, J Davies, S Williams, L Williams. S Davies, Webb
North's not fit.
Hopefully we'll see the above with G Davies coming on at some stage in the match.

But North will hit the deck for a HIA and someone will cop the blame and get carded. It's a plan.

Ireland team to play Italy
- Not Johnny Sexton.
Italy
- Yep Parisse is still fit.
Hope the bus makes it to the stadium this time.
So do I, me an Mrs DoTS are going to Stadio Olimpico.
But I can honestly say, I almost wouldn't care - Rome is seriously impressive (I suspect I am not the first person in history to notice this)

Mrs DoTW, of course! Blilmey, I would have been in trouble if I'd left her at home in favour of that Mrs DoTS trollop...

@Disgusted-of-TW Disgusted of Tonbridge South?

England still favourites by 7-10
@MiketheSnow You can keep your favourites tag and shove it where the sun don't shine. Wales narrow favourites for me, playing at home.
Do you know whether Eddie has agreed to keeping the lid on or not? I suppose that depends upon the likely percentage of precipitation. Anything above 56.27% and he may say yes.

Not a chance, Cuthbert's in for North.

Lid open
@MiketheSnow Leaving aside the fact that I don't like to see any player injured, I think I'm more pleased about Cuthbert than the roof!
-
Quite weird situation when the visiting team gets to dictate the playing conditions. That roof should just be nailed shut and the option taken away.
@Crucial The ruling is actually that both teams have to agree to the lid being open but of course in reality it means the visiting side have the whip hand. I'm torn on this TBH, on the one hand the lid being closed makes it an awesome arena, on the other hand rugby is an outdoors sport. Hmmm. what to do?
-
It's the same carry on with the roof every year. Although Eddie seems to have had more fun than usual this time. For me, the should be one question; Is it forecast to be pissing down? If the answer is no, then leave it open and stop going on about it.

I struggle to think of a worse International winger than Cuthbert. How does he keep getting picked?

That selection criteria should only apply to breasts, not rugby players.

@Bones good point
Cuthbert has been awful for years. Couldn't score in a whore house with hundred dollar notes tied to his cock

Sounds like the voice of experience.

@Crucial It's their stadium, they should get to choose.

Agree. I find it bizarre. For years the Wallabies hated playing at Carisbrook because they thought it was 'too cold'. Should Otago have been forced to put heaters out for them? Athletic Park some windbreaks?
I know I'm only going by what the press are eating up but it looks like Eddie and the team are spending a lot of effort trying to paint these pictures they are painting. Talking too much about not talking about something.

That's one point of view. The other is that rugby is traditionally an outdoor game and that the Principality Stadium goes against this and could offer the home team an advantage that is not open reciprocally.
As I said before, I'm torn on this one though
