Imagine the ABs selecting someone that out of shape.

Well, if SBW puts on an extra 10-20 kg's....

@Crucial My point exactly! Unsteady Eddie has been filling up the team with as many PI's as he can, @Disgusted-of-TW Oh that is good for early Monday morning fodder at least - The team minus Vunipolas/Tuilagi/Hughes/Te'o leaves you scratching your head about any kind of viable game plan. Sure, Slade , Daly and Nowell are very good rugby players, but they need big guys to get stuck in and do the work up front first. @Billy-Tell I'd suggest a lot of that was down to the time elapsed since we last played Ireland, scores to settle at home and all that, plus down to some wonky selections and less than perfect game plan on our part.

It's weird that Itoje gets all the plaudits and starting spots yet Lawes is the better performer.

yea i don't get it at all. Especially when you look at the way they have Itoje playing, i think Lawes would do that better. There must be something there i don't see.

Maybe a NH poster who watches them week out in club rugby can give us some insight?

As well as the already mentioned very important criteria there is also the perception that Lawes used to fade in and out of games whereas Itoje can keep up the level of shouting throughout the full 80 minutes and indeed play some rugby during that time. Itoje also seems to have a bit more grunt in the tight. Luckily for us we are blessed at 2nd row and in reality can perm any two from perhaps six without losing too much.

Itoje's invisibility cloak on the offside line is a big help as well. He forgets to hand it over to Lawes.

That was certainly the case against your boys last Autumn, so don't forget to say thank you to Maro if you see him!

@Catogrande depends if he's wearing the cloak or not, innit.

You don't need to see him - just follow the whooping

These Vunipolas struggle to string games together don’t they?
Mako (or is that Makko?) goooooone for 10 weeks with a sore ankle. -

@Crucial he played a good couple of games worth Vs Ireland. But England without their prime PI power is a different prospect. And those bastards are so overworked, no way they'll make it through the RWC

Just to make sure, Eddie will announce Tim Kerrison will be joining them to revolutionise their training for that extra 1.3%
All of a sudden Mako is outpacing international wingers.

England have shown,once again, that our kick from hand (apart from Beaudies kick pass) is very poor, both 9, 10 and the other backs. They have turned around, albeit helped by both Ireland and France selecting centres in their back 3, both teams they've played. An area we need a fuck load of work in. I don't think we are as vulnerable to it, as our nine doesn't defend in the line and we have a wing and FB back - and one of those will be Ben Smith!
