Underhill got mom and looks to the manor born. As good as Kvesic over the ball, but as physical as Haskell.

Can you tell me how you arrived at the conclusion that Australia are the weakest of the big three? was it their appearance in the WC final.... or perhaps their rugby championship win last year....

I seem to remember a certain game vs SA that Williams lost for Wales on account of his reckless behavior.

Brookes may be in contention for the 23 this week. 4 weeks since recovering from a knee operation, he has played 4 consecutive games as starter for 70+ minutes, including the full 80 this weekend. Is this good practice or acceptable player management by Mallinder? The motives are obvious...

Luther Burrell has been called up for Devoto :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: I'll go get my sick bucket.

I may be alone in this- but I feel Harry Mallinder could be a real bolter for the IC spot in the summer. I was very very impressed with him vs Quins particularly, he may be a bit raw atm, but looks to have the passing ability of Slade at centre, but with a lot more bulk. Burrell was made to look...

nah, Mallinder probably has Brookes locked up in a dungeon somewhere- he'll be expecting another 80 minute shift from him at the weekend again. That would be three consecutive games after knee surgery. :mad:

Forwards Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers), Jack Clifford (Harlequins), Jamie George (Saracens), Dylan Hartley (Northampton Saints), James Haskell (Wasps), Paul Hill (Northampton Saints), George Kruis (Saracens), Joe Launchbury (Wasps), Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints), Joe Marler (Harlequins)...

Has this been posted yet? B Vunipola - 2.68m per carry (19 carries, 51 metres) J Clifford - 1.5m per carry (2 carries, 3 metres) G Kruis - 1.4m per carry (5 carries, 7 metres) M Vunipola - 1.3m per carry (6 carries, 8 metres) C Lawes - 1m per carry (4 carries, 4 metres) J Haskell - 0.57m...

Compared to what it could have been, I'm left a little underwhelmed. Slow backrow, blindside at 7, Faz at 12... things we vowed never to see again. Neither props look like they can scrum properly atm, Goode on the bench, Care throwing intercept passes and mismanaging the game... it could all...

He played ~65 mins for Northampton and showed the same kind of scrummaging form as before the injury. Bearing that in mind, he'd be a much better option than Cole.

basically.. yeah. Get Cole to do the same while you're at it- Brookes in.

:lol: Don't be silly, everyone knows that Warburton never plays club rugby.

Vunipola George Cole Launch Kruis Robshaw Kvesic Vunipola Youngs Ford Nowell Hill Joseph Watson Brown Hartley Marler Hill Itoje Clifford Care Farrell Daly Although I'm not sure I can justify leaving Itoje out of the starting team for even the first match- he's that...

As probably said before, you could not have picked two more important players to have injured right now than Brookes and Slade :mad: 1. Vunipola 2. George 3. Cole 4. Launchbury 5. Kruis 6. Itoje 7. Kvesic 8. Vunipola 9. Simpson 10. Farrell (I think Burns could make a late charge) 11. Nowell 12...

Itoje would be first name on the teamsheet for me atm (and I don't think this is too much of an exaggeration) he's eclipsed every player he's come up against so far including Launchbury. Comparisons in size with Parling and Lawes are pretty stupid, since they are pretty marginal to start with in...

Brookes out- back to square one at TH. Thanks Mallinder.

Interesting- I do worry about props having so much game time so young, the likes of Auterac, Thomas, Vunipola, Marler certainly played a lot of rugby before they hit 23. In the same way, how Jamie George has come through gradually is probably wise.

I just hope players like Devoto and Lozowski get starting spots at a club before we start bringing in potentially lesser players from abroad.

'not impressed with Itoje', 'Mako scrummages terribly', 'Billy is average'. I contest all these assertions.
