Can't see Gatland picking anyone other than Biggar at 10 v England. Would obviously love him to pick Anscombe but he won't. Mind you, I was relishing the Scotlan game last year with Finn Russell being utter garbage, but he played a blinder (predictably). Halfpenny has been out far too long to come straight into a full on International IMO.
A blow for this tournament, but does mean we can have a proper look at Genge and Moon before the world cup and sort out the pecking order.
I’d start Genge, see if he can back the chat up.
Shame Marler don’t fancy it anymore. Such a strange decision
Hmm.
I think England Wales is setting up to be a cracking encounter... The fact we managed to squeeze a win out of last years shit-rag of performances in the 6 nations must be fresh in the buoyos memories!
The form we seem to have found again still feels a touch fragile, so we're going to have to come out all guns blazing and hopefully May can run one in in less than a minute this time.
If he carries on at this rate of scoring quicker and quicker, he's going to need to start catching the kick off and just touching it down!!

That’s the crux of it, if we bring the level we’ve been at, we should have the relentlessness to take them.I hope your right but on this form I can see england totally dominating them.

Depends on how we play but unlikely you dominate us. no Doubt if we lose all our line ours and generally play poorly it’s possibke but, like I say, unlikely.
I think you’ve exploited 2 teams who’ve not had a full back playing in either game very well but you want to make sure you do kick well against us as we’ll have an actual full back playing.
I think England have played well but nothing I’ve seen is making me shit the bed. The way some fans and pundits are going on it’s like you’ve suddenly turned into NZ. I even had one guy say to me if England played NZ tomorrow they’d put 10 points on them.
They would put 10 points on them.
Problem is, NZ would put 15 on England in the same game!
We’ve played well, very well against Ireland, but it’s early days. They’ve got a bit of making up to do following the nonsense that was last year. This does feel a little different though, even during Jones long winning streak we seemed to eek out a lot of games and didn’t really take control in some wins. The Irish game was a serious statement. The final score flattered the Irish, who were certainly the 2nd best team in the world at the time.
It’ll be a good one, it always is. England in Cardiff is a better fixture than Wales in Twickenham for some reason.
Predictions?
