@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.

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.

Well played Lewis Ludlam
England debutant Lewis Ludlam keeps promise to former teacher

Shane Williams
Too fast for you?

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

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. -
Turgid arm wrestle
Wales 10 - 6 England
62 mins gone -
the only way we stay number 1 is if this is a draw.
Wales win, they become #1 (well done!)
England win, and become #1
England Vs Ireland next week is chance for both teams.I have long thought the ranking system to be designed against NZ-we get nothing for beating teams under us. We really should have over 100...
