However, have you seen Mrs Dimitri Szarzewski?

Well at least today, they didn’t warrant the effort to do so.

I’ll take a (s)crappy win over a gallant loss anytime.

Szarzewski….sorry a hooker with looks and soft hands but not a patch on Kayser or several other class hookers

no as England supporter want to win everything especially beating Wales and the Scots……I really admire Lancaster great ethos philosophy and not afraid to make big calls, reality is the drive to world cup…..forwards sorted as there are two players per position at the moment laws and launchbury are looking outstanding massive improvement in laws…..Cole way off the mark in the scrum……robshaw unsung and underestimated ….. Billy or Morgan? backs are still in flux Brown a shoe in and after that question marks. The team stayed calmed when down but big failure not closing game out…this will be experience based Farrell better after the Lions tour

Wales look good for the next 18 months a dear lord that pains me to say it

Ireland really want to see how they go on after All blacks and BODs final season …?????

Scots I fancy to be harder to beat than expected,

Great start to six nations

Capt is that good or bad ❓

If I am a poet I did not know it………… 😀

Thought Care was excellent today and really unlucky to be subbed, Farrell actually looked like an out half rather than a converted centre. Brown apart the rest of the backs were average enough, Goode put in a very lame tackle for 2nd try, I would still have Strettle on the wing ahead of any of England’s 3 wingers today. England forwards pretty good, wood at 6 is a beast.

Wales start slowly again but I have no doubt they will improve, if Edwards is to be believed most of them turn up in dreadful condition and it takes 3 weeks of beasting them to get them fit.

Who knows what green machine will turn up tomorrow, the one that played ABs or the one that played Australia. I hate playing Scotland it is lose lose for us recently.

So England lose and suddenly the 6n doesn’t matter as it is all about the WC? 😆

Maybe we should have a stw version!

reality is ALL teams are working to the World Cup especially the All Blacks

6 nations is vital but Coaches will be looking to find the style to beat the Southern Hem teams

Italy are seeking to be competitive away from home and develop a more expansive game

Scotland are trying to get beyond the gain line this is where they struggle, they have some excellent players but are not a cohesive unit

Ireland new coach and transition saw that in the autumn…again trying to find the team and rhythm

France….going for big forwards and power plays, they were huge yesterday and failing to release one of the best centre in the world Forfana. If there try scores had gone closer to the posts the score would have made England task harder. French Front Row excellent yesterday. No 10 is where they are stuggling and this is well documented>Trinh Duc should be 10

England…….looking for expanse forwards up there as a potential world class pack, front Row miss corbesario…AA will along to highlight the failings of all our props compared to the Welsh ( and techinically our props in the scrum are struggling)

Welsh….know the game plan…..have the players and introducing younger players….injuries will be the key worry

Yesterday great day and better scrums, hookers missing the ball, squiffy feeds being penalised, tries scored…good start

Scrum is a big worry for England IMO. Dan Cole looks far from solid but with Henry Thomas on the bench he’s going to be playing the full game! Mako is also very weak in the scrum. I still don’t get all the hype about 36 either.

I still like Twelvetrees, I like his ambition and the fact that he doesn’t just going looking for contact (you need a balance of people who do, and commit defenders, and those who try to create and exploit space).

He could be the heir to Greenwood (who England have never replaced). For someone with virtually no pace, if you watch Greenwood on form it looks like he’s a real speedster, this is because he really hit the pass at pace and his running lines were superb. He had real ‘craft’. I don’t like teams whose centres just look and play like nightclub bouncers.

He is not the finished article, but he is worth persisting with.

I rate 12 trees, but having been watching Tigers recently without a good inside centre (they were playing Flood there) and then when AnthoneynAllen came back from injury, the performance difference was astonishing. I’m not sure that Allen is the right person, but there must be a decent inside centre out there?

Edit: ah yes, in age group rugby it was Farrell, with the Bath flyhalf (can’t remember his name) keeping out of the 10 birth. Possibility there maybe, but will never happen under Lancaster as shown by putting flood an inside centre during the AI’s

Not sure if it is the way the interview was edited or if I am reading too much in to it but Sexton didn’t sound over the moon about his move to France

Just figured out who 36 is 🙂

Pish,going as expected.

Poor quality now. At least there was a patch of decent Ire play.

Feel for you Duckman. You weren’t bad for 40mins but dire stuff now. If the highlight is big jim being in every scrap then it can’t be much. You need someone who is going to score a try. Only hodge is showing any promise. Why is S Lamont trying to push folk over instead of driving forward (at his size)

Autumn,us against Aus,SA.

I think you have to give the Irish back row credit for the number of turnovers they were very quick at the breakdown. I’m very pleased with most areas of Ireland’s game especially the second half. Our set piece was very good, breakdown work was good and some of the attacking was excellent. The only thing we were missing was a bit more driving from the pack but still a good first outing. Really looking forward to next week.

Fair enough – I missed all those.

You just outplayed France in Paris but got unlucky at the end. Chin up.
