c00ps-
cheers, and @Bobbo. My third year doing it so I've learned the most important thing is to insist on 15 minutes on Saturday morning to check the team sheets and make sure your 15 players are playing! Same time next year - well, Lions chat???? Based on 6N performances, how on Earth can any England players be assured of their place in the test team? I think Itoje is a special player who'll start BUT he has been absolutely outperformed by a number of competitors (a few of his stats make terrible reading). How can H Watson, Stander and Tipuric not start in the back row? How can Faz be anywhere near the starting XV? So, following on from last week.
- W. Jones
- K Owens
- T Furlong
- T Beirne
- I Henderson
- J Tipuric
- H Watson
- CJ Stander
- R Webb
- J Sexton
- D VD Merwe
- R Henshaw
- G North
- L Rees-Zammit
- S Hogg
R Sutherland, Z Fagerson, G Turner, M Itoje, T Faletau, A Price, F Russell, L Williams
I mean, seriously - from England; i'd say that combining form, potential and history, these players should tour but struggle make an argument for any more, ahead of other home nations players.
Sinkler, Itoje, Curry, Simmonds, A Watson (Tuilagi if fit and sure Faz will tour given his previous tours and favour with Gats) - W. Jones

Cheers @DethBeard - not gonna lie, I was bit gutted but it's by own fault for picking 4 England players who achieved less than 50pts combined!!!! Yes, it's a nice way of paying a bit more attention to the games and performances and having a go at different approaches. Yes, the Supersub...I always thought I was clever putting a starting fly-half or winger on the bench then realised the sub outside back who comes on against Italy for 15 mins and gets an intercept try can score 100 points!! I mean, with Jalibert going off after 25 mins on saturday I assume Ntamack triple points supersub would've been 150+.
Oh well, I very much look forward to same time next year -
cheers all for joining and the craic
