My real worry is that a Saracens centre / wing combo that's managed half the tries of Leicester / Northants / Hairyquims is now the one that's going to unlock international defences and allow the runners to come in on the ball. Not good. Floody and Manu (the true Englishman) will be sorley missed

Oi - duckman - we are supposed to be on the same side 🙂 Or are you a weegie?
Hope so. still not as good a kicker as Weir or laidlaw (grumble moan mutter)I think England will give Parks plenty penalty kicking opps
Or are you a weegie?
No, he's a scot.
Did Parks run off with your first love or something?
Worse than that *sniffs*
wrecker - MemberNo, he's a scot.

if that backline gets ball darcy and earls will have sore heads at the end of the game because it makes the smoan backs look small!!
Tidy, AA, thanks. Am liking the look of Cuthbert. He and North have a long future ahead. Could be good....!
Just discovered Scotlands secret training plans to confuse the English
maybe there is a plan

THIS 🙂
Gotta agree with the Welsh here, I'm not looking forward to the battle in the centres on Sunday. Bad news for the us that Roberts looks like he will be playing. However it will make for a very close game, I'll still back the Irish by 5 points! In the other matches England win by 3 and France by 15
Cuthburt looks a right handful, was leaning towards I'd rather another small man in Halfpenny try and fill Shane's boots but he's playing too well at Full Back.
Not a bad Welsh team at all, our forwards being injured has still crippled us a little though but it would be awesome if Roberts and Halfpenny come in. I'll go for Irish win by 5 points rather than them having an easy win now.
I really want Hook to hit form again but where's he going to play? He can't realistically budge anyone out of that team, I'd risk him playing him at 13 tbh, too much talent to completely leave him rot. As for Henson I don't think he deserves his place in the squad, I can't see him getting any game time anyway, such a waste but that was his fault.

Great news! [s]Desperate Dan[/s]Jamie Roberts and Rhys Piestland both fit to play!

Sorry double post

I am putting a tenner on Scotland to win tomorrow - have you all seen the weather forecast ??
I'm liking the look of the Welsh team. It's always a tough game in Ireland, but they could do it!
Ha! I have been phoned and asked to ref a Scottish Parliament v Westminster game at noon tmw in Edinburgh....I will be on pint 4 by then,pretending I am a young un' again.
Cuthbert and north will be tested with kicks behind them and cuthbert is still very raw with poor defensive positioning and doesnt look too hot under high balls. That combined with wales missing 4/5s of the best front 5 leaves me hoping for a win but expecting a loss just hope its not a big loss.
I think scotland will beat england. England have neglected young talent for too long. Compare the experience of say jon davis with barrit, both are about the same age.
Scotland A 35 England Saxons 0 😀 Can we take an aggregate score from the A and full teams?
dont know if i can watch the welsh match!! the tension will be too much.
yes alot of youngsters in again due to injuries but i like this as the sooner we 'blood them' the better it will be for the future.
didnt everyone write wales off before the ireland v wales world cup match 😉
i think if wales have a sh*t game they will mix it right up selection wise which could be interesting.
looking forward to the england game, very intersting to see how they get on and the style of play.
That's if they play! What's the weather like in Edinburgh right now?

Dunno,can't see the window from our table, busy as well. burps and waves at STW rugby thread.
persistent snow here in Rochdale so hoping it hasn't hit Edinburgh yet!
surely rufty tufty rugby men will be able to play in a bit of snow?
Not if they can't see! Actually, England will be in white so.... 😉
France shit so far but italian defence even worse
Just to balance that Saxons result, England U20s won 59-3, with our friend Tom playing at lock...how did that little kid grow to be 6'9" and 17 stone 😯
new french team don't look so good.
Charlie Hodgson. :cries:
I thought France were quite good and they will get better.
This match is dire so far. And we could do without the booing, Hibs fans must be in
You're not wrong.
Charlie Hodgson. :cries:
Robshaw looks a bit like Powell. Hope he's a touch brighter. England look enthusiastic but rudderless so far.
Italy will be licking their lips thinking about next week
i nodded off midhalf.
scotland 8 is a good lad tho.
somewhat turgid so far but england proving better in the scrum that some had predicted. Eng defence doing reasonably OK, good to hear the lads warning shout 'drop goal' and storm at Parks...
no decent runs from the backs as yet, england to improve. DO IT.
This is so crap I spent a bit of time trawling the classifieds.I am cold,wet and too old for this sort of display.Nasty atmosphere, both sets of fans booing the anthems. I should have stayed in the pub.
Good job Strettle has learned to tackle.
Charlie Hodgson. :cries:
!!
They'l never drop him now!
😆
How much to have Parks kneecapped? Must be the only way to stop Robinson picking him and might encourage the others too.
