There's talk that Eddie Jones' preferred option might involved Te'o and Tuilagi in the centres and Fiji Joe on the wing. Sounds crazy. Would probably mean a lack of subtlety in terms of players such as Ford, Slade and maybe even Daly. Sounds like Australia 2003 all over again when the more...

What's the prognosis for Ellis Jenkins? Will he make it back in time?

He's got a good life though. Watching rugby and writing about it, and occasionally ******* off whole countries while doing it. Pretty sure he wins awards and is well paid for it too! Anyway, I had to write a response: https://forwardandback.com/greatest-rugby-players/

Someone suggested that the way to go might be to return to the days when subs were allowed only in cases of injury. Then you wouldnt have 130kg behemoths who can survive only for 30 minutes coming on at the 50th or 60th minute and running at by-now-tired players who are fit and lean enough to be...

Stephen Jones is just being perverse, as usual. His selections tend to favour players who have played mostly in northern hemisphere comps, and he also tends to overrate these players -- such as Pat Lam and Isa Nacewa, both of whom were good players but nowhere near as good as Jones made them out...

Ha ha, I agree. Rami Malek looks a bit like him and yet seems too slight and underwhelming a presence. Baron Cohen is strictly speaking too tall and big and yet I think he would have had more of a Freddie Mercury presence

Yes, it was a pretty good film. Essentially a short story anthology

Yes, that was excellent. Very good acting. By the lead and Riaz Ahmed

Yes, pretty terrible

Yes, pretty terrible

Bottom line is he needs to work on his tackling, and I'm certain he will. And those tackles would have galvanised his team anyway, right or wrong. While I think Ford and Cipriani are more skillful in certain aspects of flyhalf play, their weaknesses overshadow their strengths. And I agree...

I think it's more a no one/no one problem! Very poor flyhalf stocks, at the moment. Anything in the pipeline?

Yes i have been told.

Yes, i agree. Don't understand the knockers. he is a pretty good player

Thanks. Am new to this forum. Don't know yet who is trolling and who is worth debating with.

You do realise that was Ireland's reserve team, yes?

Hmm, seems like England have been improving with him in the team, and even more since it became clear he will be the No 10. He does make tries,such as the one for Daly yesterday, doesn't he? To say he should not even be in the squad may be a bit much I think.

Sure, I understand. I'm not a Farrell advocate. Just saying why I think he has got the nod by Eddie. I just think that he doesn't think Ford and Cipriani are reliable. And their strengths are not strong enough to justify inclusion. Farrell is to him the best package.

ok. Wasn't sure. It read as though you don't get or understand how England could get 3 tries with Farrell as flyhalf I think Ford and Cipriani are more traditional 10s but they're weaker defensively. Farrell doesn't have really have flaws, in Jones' eyes. He can pass, tackle, kick and seems to...
