[Bones]

@MiketheSnow looks to have about the right amount of Davies' and Jones', bit lacking on Evans' and Williams' though.

England squad to play Wales:-

England: Daly; McConnochie, Joseph, Francis, Cokanasiga; Ford, Heinz; Genge, Cowan-Dickie, Cole, Launchbury, Itoje, Lawes, Ludlam, B Vunipola.

Replacements: George, Marler, Sinckler, Kruis, Singleton, Youngs, Farrell, Tuilagi

Well, we're fucked at the breakdown unless Ludlam is a lot quicker than he looks.

[Bones]

@Catogrande pretty sure you're fucked at tighthead too, Lawes is way too tall.

Not sure about that, he can't be as tall as Ardie Savea for instance?

You won't catch Ardie being named in the front row.

With our back row we won't catch Ardie full stop.

@Catogrande Cowan-Dickie must be pretty decent over 5m?

Yeah but it seems they've put him at 8

That's our only hope.

@MiketheSnow Nice try but you’re not claiming underdog status. Not at home with a near full strength squad you’re not.

Nice try.

You're down Curry, but you were for most of the first encounter, and you stuffed us.

Add in Itoje, and Farrell on the bench and you most certainly are the favourite.

Well played Lewis Ludlam

I can barely understand the Welsh commentator. Like, 10%, listening carefully.
