    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.

              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.

                @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.

                      Wales already had a better match compared with last weekend.

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

                                  Deliberate knock down by Watson with a 2-man overlap.

                                  Yellow card.

                                  Wales take the quick pen and two deft kicks from Biggar and North goes over

                                    yep, deserved yellow card.
                                    Itoje also attempted the same earlier in the move

                                      His voice is too fast for his mouth.
                                      Shane Williams? Sounds like some big fat old guy.

                                      lovely try (my stream is minutes late...)

                                          Yes, it was.... but you know what happens if Wales wins this?
                                          Go England!

                                          Wales looking much better team so far.
                                          If Wales win this: Shane Williams will get excited and talk too much.
