Goode is the right call with Brown out. But... solid as a rock in defence is just not true.

Tomorrow morning. 10/11am I'd guess.

I don't think theres much choice other than Goode. Watson wasn't convincing at FB v Italy and Goode's kicking is good. I think one of Goode's best games for Eng was away to Ireland 2 years ago. Not that I'm a big fan but can see why he will play on Sunday. I just hope Brown comes straight back...

Brown ruled out after not passing stage 3 of return to play protocol.

I really don't understand the no lock on the bench tactic when Kitchener is available. If Kruis or Attwood especially get an early injury we are in trouble.

Ouch! http://www.espn.co.uk/six-nations-2015/rugby/story/257343.html?CMP=OTC-RSS

Yeh if Wood is fit then no problem with him being on the bench. But would much rather Ewers and Kitchener to Croft and Easter.

Chiefs youngsters had stormers this weekend. Nowell will surely start in Dublin. Ewers must be working up the pecking order. I'd have him on the bench next Sunday but obviously very unlikely to debut away to Ireland. Great bench option with his physicality and ability to come on at 6 or 8...

Nowell released to play for Chiefs this weekend. Interested to see if he plays on the left wing...

Lancaster comments in papers tonight sound like Nowell will get the nod over May. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/article-2957700/Stuart-Lancaster-takes-hard-line-Jonny-Englad-flyer-s-place-threat-form-Jack-Nowell-bombed-try.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

With Easter scoring to become the oldest try scorer for England I was wondering if anyone could tell me who the youngest try scorer is? With regards to Nowell, I'm a bit biased as I watch Exeter every now and again and have been a big fan of Jack for a while. But I think he linked up with Brown...

I'm worried Lancaster will move JJ to the wing to accommodate Barritt to the starting 15 v Ireland. For Ireland I'd bring Nowell in for May and start Twelvetrees and JJ in centre. Lawes or Parling on the bench too. Ewers to bench instead of Croft.

Zanni and Campagnaro injured for Italy. I'd pick same side but with 12trees in for Burrell. Think we will need a kicking option at 12 at the Aviva so give Billy and Ford some game time together.

I'm guessing whoever is responsible for the dates on this tour is no longer employed by the RFU? Ridiculous and such a shame that the Barbarians have their best squad in years and we are going to have to throw together a totally cobbled together side with next to no international experience at...

Think Goode deserves the 15 shirt.

Delighted with that. Only thing I think Lancaster could of done differently in hindsight. He said 36 didn't train all week so maybe was ideal time to give Eastmond a go at 12, saying that I didn't think 36 looked bad today at all. Secondly, why not move Burrell to 12 when Manu came on for the...

I always thought we would start a bit nervous with all the pressure on us to win big. But we're looking great now and remember Manu is waiting to be unleashed in the 2nd half!

England may be forced into a late change for Saturday's Six Nations match in Italy as Harlequins prop Joe Marler waits for the birth of his child. If Marler, 23, does not arrive in Rome by Friday, boss Stuart Lancaster says Mako Vunipola will start at loosehead prop with...

Interesting that Burrell mentions that it could be him who shifts to the wing? Quotes from Burrell: (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/article-2579414/SIX-NATIONS-2014-Luther-Burrell-insists-hes-ready-competition-Manu-Tuilagi-bring-Englands-midfield.html) ‘Manu’s been a huge player...
