      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.

      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.

                          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.

                                      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...

                                        Watching listening to the game on C4. Andrew Cotter is making the game watchable - great commentator

                                        Ickle Shane is a bit rubbish IMHO as a comments man. Better than Jonathan "space out wide" Davies, but that's not hard. English comments bloke is even worse.
