Pre-RWC test matches

Eddie bringing the big guns out for the Ireland game. Interesting midfield combination which might just work and he's gone from picking two specialist back rows in the squad to five including two opensides (0 last time) and picking Billy Vunipola yet again when most commentators would have him wrapped in cotton wool.
England: Daly; Cokanasiga, Tuilagi, Farrell, May; Ford, Youngs; Marler, George, Sinckler, Itoje, Kruis, Curry, Underhill, B Vunipola.
Replacements: Cowan-Dickie, M Vunipola, Cole, Lawes, Wilson, Heinz, Francis, Joseph.
With the exception of Watson that's pretty the match-day 23 right there, right?
Lose this one and palms will begin to sweat.
@MiketheSnow Can't be far away, a little tinkering perhaps. Sweaty palms are all part and parcel of being an England fan.
In any sport.

The French 14 is a very decent winger. I rate this French side to get out of their group st the expense of Argentina.

I reckon the winner of our pool will face Japan in the quarters.
Scotland are just crap.

@Billy-Tell Samoa might fancy their chances getting out of Group A too.

Nah don’t think so. They should aim for 3rd.

Enland with an early Farrell penalty but Ireland right back at them with a converted try in the corner.
Shit defence from England. Three defenders blocking out the Irish chaser, no one watching the ball.
England 3 - 7 Ireland
12 mins gone -
Slick ball off the back of the scrum, England easily outflank Ireland.
Cok in the corner.
England 8 - 7 Ireland

That was a peach of a try from England.
