To be fair the kid has some decent heritage!
I feel it’s a strong wales team that should do well. Not sure how well the french will start. Fingers crossed!
FFS EY17YID just tell me we are going to win. We dont want to be overconfident though. Are you quietly confident? Just give me the nod bach. Diolch.

Of course @E17yid 's quietly confident! But if he says you're going to win, he'll jinx it.
Any Welshman who’s given it the biggen thinking we’re goung to walk this are mental. We won by 1 point at home last year and the last time we played in Paris we lost so recent history would slightly favour the French.
The bookies - or the punters - can't really choose between the two, but I honestly think you'll win by 10.
It's amazing how disjointed the England team looks now considering how solid we looked about 18 months ago. Shows how much can change in a relatively short period.
Theoretically it looks like a strong team, although the 6/7 combination is very inexperienced at this level.
I like having Farrell back at 10, but whilst Slade and Tuilagi should in theory be a great combo, I suspect they've never played together, and it's a huge match to be testing out a new combination.
As @teok says as well, Daly at full-back is a massive call. I suppose the theory is that as neither him or Brown are playing particularly well, you include Daly for his potential to land those big kicks. I expect to see him absolutely peppered with high balls tomorrow though and that is a massive concern.
At least there are a few more potential line-breakers than we've had for a while, and it's also a relatively strong bench, but I still can't see anything other than an Irish win.
