[QUOTE="Peat, post: 653700, member: 42330"] England could get spanked, but it seems unlikely. It's been quite a long time since we have, and our last three games have all been pretty tight. Plus Jerry Guscott's worried about it and he's usually wrong. My only worry is that tiredness seems to be setting in - Launch, imo, probably shouldn't be playing this one - and whether we've got the go to to stick with them for 80, I'm not sure. Considering that our method of staying close with them basically depends on stifling their pack and preventing good ball from source, that's a concern. If we've got the gas though, no reason we can't use our normal proven methods against them - mess up their breakdown, give them very little on the fringes, rush up to meet them. Not only does it make it difficult for them to get their attacking game going, it also flusters them and creates points scoring opportunities for us. Of course, we're unlikely to take them, so they should still win... Defending something by comparing it to Stephen Jones is basically recommending that the author should be executed. I'd just rather ignore the guy, some people don't deserve the oxygen of publicity. [/QUOTE]
