No outside centre. Hope Twelvetrees and Burrell are good at tackling Bastareaud. |

And May...
I like Maku coming off the bench. Is Parling injured or has Attwood just stepped above him in the pecking order. not sure about Goode on the bench, he's good but doesn't add anything creative coming on. Although I imagine we'll be likely hanging on if we do get ahead. Really happy to see Burrell given a chance but not so sure on 36 still... just seems an average player, but I guess he provides cover for 10 with no Ford on the bench. I think Twelvetrees is okay, but probably doesn't fit (whatever) system Lancaster is trying to play |

England beating France in Paris would be a massive result and could spur them on to win the championship but I don't see it happening... I am concerned about the unpredictable nature of Scotland coming to Lansdowne Road but hopefully from our point of view the momentum of the provinces continue.
That's also why I think Scotland might just catch you out. It's a massive ask for them to get an away win, but the weather will make them feel like their at home and the confidence from last year's result... |

BOD's 129th cap on Sunday as well, that breaks O'Gara's record.

This might be a bit of a strange moan ......but......
I know there are lots of stoppages in rugby union, that's the nature of the game But I wish they wouldn't fill every stoppage with replays It confuses me as to what is live and what is replay.....particularly as they show different camera angles Maybe it's just me......... ![]() England seem to be wasting a lot of chances to score tries.....I expect we'll lose by a couple of points......

Great game ultimately decided by France's extra quality in the backs. I think we'll be hearing a lot more about Gael Fickou in the future. Do wonder about whether the England substitutions on the hour for Hartley & Care really helped.

Wales v Italy was lacklustre.
Have to pull out the stops if we're going for the victory. |

England snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, back row not quick enough, need a real openside, not enough backs on the bench, Goode still hitting high and wondering why this then leads to a try, team unable to hold teams in their own half when the clock is running down, Youngs unable to throw or hook at crucial moments, and this team will not improve or learn quickly enough to win the World Cup in 2015, Apart from that we did well ( ahem)
