Haven’t watched any rugby at all since Worcester went bump as disillusioned with it until today but lasted less than hour into this game before switching back to the football…if this is truly the best England have to offer it’ll be a short World Cup - poor

Comes to something when that game was the preferable option.
Ireland are going to obliterate us.

I was at the delayed 2001 game where we stopped England doing the Grand Slam and I'm sure England would happily repay the favour, plus there are going to be plenty of casualties after today. Wasn't feeling too confident during the first 15 mins of the second half but they ground out the win in difficult circumstances.

And that was pretty fun. I'm sure England will be keen to do the same, particularly after a bad result this weekend.I think, if Ireland were to face any of the five to decide the GS, England would be my last choice, regardless of form.
Apparently, Mercer has been outstanding in the last eighteen months.Simmonds is out of the squad for Saturday.
