Especially for Stumpy and Dogless. Following on from my surprise and criticism of the selection of Tom Woods for the upcoming international circus, it would appear fast Eddie has listened to what i had to say and agrees with me. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/37773444

Not the team you'd choose to make a debut against.
Rog
Launchbury and Lawes in second row?
I suspect Woods will be riding the pine.

There appears to be a few uncapped players, making their debut. A while ago, I would have thought making an international debut game against the Yarpies, a bit risky. But with S.A's new(ish) selection policies, I can't see it being to much of a problem. Time will tell !!!

They were a good pairing until injury has seen them apart for awhile. Lawes is In the last chance saloon for me, the player that caused havoc for club and country for so long has been fairly muted and subdued of late. Once a 9 or 10's worst nightmare

It will be interesting to see how it goes, perhaps there has never been a better time recently for a well coached and cohesive England team to do well. What a difference a captain makes too

What a difference a captain makes too Yeah, the old Kiwi ain't doing to bad a job. Saints loss is England's gain. Our two club captain since have been a little uninspiring! I've met Dylan, an intelligent, reserved quietly spoken guy - it was during November of his purgatory season in 2013 following his stitch up by Barnes and the stuffed suits. We raised a shit load of money for Movember, even if I rode a bit on the coattails of others I am still proud of that ridiculous moustache I had for a month and the contribution it made.

Will DH's (not the tit from the t'other channel) & Farrell's back's hold out though?

Still, form is temporary, class is permanent and all that bollocks. Farrel is like one of those irritating songs that grows on you, the petulance seems to get less with age, there's no denying his accuracy with the boot either! George Ford needs his hand holding too much for me, partnering him with Farrell at inside centre seems counter intuitive to me, but that said it has worked. I wouldn't want it to be the answer for good.

Yeah but; Fordie is still only very young (I know he's the same age as the Saracen tosser), but i think, and that could be seen in the demise of his kicking ability last season, was the effect of Daddy's dressing room sheenanigans with the Physio playing on him? Who know's.
Perhaps his mind is starting to clear a bit now.

You only have to look at Mr Kicky Kicky man from Wales and Toulon to see that! Fords kicking averages have to be better to cut it internationally, it's no good relying on his mate to nail them for him, particularly with an iffy back! That said, his eye for a gap and playmaking are top notch.

Farrell is international class as a kicker, and I rate him at stand off or centre. The point is, if you don't go with Ford, Farrell, who do you go with?
With the number of injuries, I believe it would be a mistake to make too many unforced changes on top.
I'm sure Jamie George is a coming force, but for me Dylan is the best man for the job at present. I like his edge.
I really don't know Harrison, but he gets good reports in the Rugby Paper.
The problem with a winning run is that the pressure builds and builds.
Rog
And I never mentioned Castres

It's been one of the most difficult partnership to get right, but again, it shouldn't be. Dylan is rightly the incumbent at 2, cockers knackered Tom Young's by continuing with the 8 man shove at tigers - that and he couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo at the lineout T has been a handful, last year was his real breakthrough season. There was a real rawness and desire in his appearances in the A league prior to playing In the first XV, he could be a headless penalty magnet but that element of his game has now disappeared. Fingers crossed he's got the stages fright of the summer out of his system. Thank you for being a bit more understanding than the noisy one from Barf
