It is pantomime season after all.
Oh no its not!

@Stargazer Terrible optics considering. Mafi is a shitbag.

Fuck me, this is the same bunch that was chucking money around prior to RWC (like 6 million to upgrade the ABs finals training ground at Pennyhiil Park), and just hosted a hugely successful RWC! That's Ozzie level pissing it up against the wall.

@Machpants That would be astonishingly short sighted.

England team to play the Azzurri announced:-
England team: Daly, Cokanasiga, Tuilagi, Te'o, May, Farrell (capt), Youngs; Genge, George, Sinckler, Launchbury, Kruis, Shields, Curry, Vunipola.
Replacements: Cowan-Dickie, Moon, Cole, Hughes, Wilson, Robson, Ford, Slade.
Not sure about Tuilagi AND Te'o in the centres and I would have been tempted to start Robson at 9 for the experience as much as anything. I still prefer Wilson over Shields but maybe he needs a bit of a rest.

@Catogrande I think it maybe a trial in the centres, can England get to per centres to work for them? It can work, see Nonu and SBW in the RWC final, but normally fails. And yes why is Jones building depth at nine? It's a real weak point, he knows his preferred, needs more miles on his second

I guess they're following the new high tackle guidelines? In which case Brock will be on, then back off again after 4 mins with a red card.
Also if I ever see Eddie (cheika, Lam), I'll kick him in the nads - finishers FFS

Ummmmm....Brock James is renowned for high tackles now?
I imagine Butch James used to play for Taranaki...
