While he had a few shaky moments today I'd like to see Mike Brown tour. Care played himself off the plane tbh and Phillips was massive today. Murray had great tournament too tbf.

He's too good to leave out. Hasn't set the world alight in 6n but he's still the best 13 and almost certainly tour captain

It isn't though, it grips some of the country because they are intensely nationalistic but others just see it as the spud molesting contest that it really is. The only sport close to being as bad is American football.

Heaslip has been key for Leinster in their 3 Heineken Cup winning teams, both him and Faletau will be in the squad without a doubt, who starts is a tough choice.

Who the hell would argue with BOD as a tour captain? Serious leader and would definitely command the most respect
Would you pick BOD ahead of the Welsh team that you are currently espousing? Pretty sure there are many players from all nations who command respect! |

Perhaps because I incline more towards the original Australian cricket idea of picking your best XI then choosing a captain.
Would you pick BOD ahead of the Welsh team that you are currently espousing? Yeah I'd have him 13, Tuilagi 12 |

Oh I quite agree. They may well be beaten and humiliated... perhaps England, after today's match, can offer some advice on dealing with monumental defeat

I listened to the commentary and it is drone drone drone, kick the ball out of play. Then all of a sudden the crumb has collapsed because somebodies nose is not wedged farly up someone elses ringpiece. No wonder it is a game from public school for snobs. |

In fairness it's a while yet but England shouldn't be too far away from a slam next year. They have a brilliant record v France in 6n and have Irl and Wales at home. The problem is Murrayfield is never easy and they are going to lose to Italy sometime!

And the panel on Irish TV including Conor O Shea said the exact same! English fans might get a bit upset but at the end of the day their players just aren't good enough |

Please do! Because even over the course if the tournament England had no real stand out players. And Ireland had a shocker!

Not really a surprise, only the margin. <Insert 6 Nations team of your choice> have looked very average in this Six Nations and could have lost two or three matches rather than being in contention to win the Grand Slam on the last day.

England's second sport though, whereas it's the national sport in Wales. (Im Irish before you start so Im not taking sides!)
I guess Welsh men are just naturally more masculine, and greater physical specimens, than English men? |
