I'm going to Twickenham for the first time on Saturday.  I shall resist the urge to call it Twickers or HQ.

See you there, I'm going with DB of this parish. I've sold my seats for the Scotland game to chelts.

5 changes to the team that started against Wales, Cokanasiga starts as does Te'o, Genge, Launchbury & Shields.

T'eo in for Slade is a fucking horrible call, manu and t'eo as the midfield.

Not picking Robson to start is even worse, Jones is right stubborn fucker at times.

Shields and Genge are changes I can support, they both need gametime and Launchbury was the obvious choice to come into the 2nd row.

I was having that same conversation with a mate last night. Not giving Robson a couple of starts could come back to haunt England in the RWC.

Not surprise that Thorley has been overlooked again. He was in great form at the start of the year but hasn't stood out in the past couple of Glawster games I've seen.

That was supposed to say that I'm really not a fan of manu and t'eo as the midfield. They're too similar and I can see May and Cokanasiga struggling to get the ball in space.

The 15 for the game against Italy isn't exactly abundant in subtlety. Can't see the ball going wide much.

Jones must really have something against Dan Robson for him not to start in a game like this.

Given we have Manu and Teo as our 12 & 13 I can see us doing crash ball a fair bit a lot all game   :-\

And coka on the wing, and genge into the front row. It's got crash running from every angle written all over it. It's almost like he's heard the criticism about kicking from the Wales game and gone completely the other way.

Wales defended very well 2nd half, aided by some very silly scottish mistakes close to the Welsh line.

Think Wales will get the slam now, as Ireland have shown nowhere near their form of this time last year.

Can’t turn your nose up at running in 50 points but bloody hell we made her work of that, still trying to work out what the strategy and tactics were because from the stands nobody really knew.

To think Wales could get the slam and still finish 2nd due to bonus points and try scored

Don’t think that can happen if a team gets a slam.
