[QUOTE="MojoPin, post: 747937, member: 71698"] Wish it wasn't the case, but all the cards are stacked in England's favour at the moment - gonna be a long, tough game for Wales. We can do it I think but our advantages are few and far between - gonna take a few key players having the game of their lives to pull this off. Keeping an eye on Welsh media for fitness reports with fingers firmly crossed. Anyways, injuries permitting - this is the team I would play... 1 G Jenkins 2 S Baldwin 3 S Lee 4 AW Jones 5 Charteris 6 S Warburton (c) 7 J Tipuric 8 T Faletau 9 G Davies 10 D Biggar 11 H Amos 12 J Roberts 13 S Williams 14 G North 15 L Williams Subs: T Francis, K Owens, P James, M Phillips, R Priestland, D Lydiate, M Morgan Tough choice between Lydiate/Warburton and Warburton/Tipuric here and I've gone for the latter. Tipuric is just playing too well to ignore and I don't see why we'd want to restrict him to a cameo appearance. Having Williams, Tipuric and North working on the right side of the field together is just too good an opportunity to pass up. In my books too Cuthbert gets nowhere near the squad - he's been a liability every game he's featured in. Amos on the other hand played well and Morgan provides a more versatile and exciting substitute. Phillips comes back in as a sub too - think he'd be very useful in a tight game where some toughness is needed as the game wears on. Lydiate is less exciting than Moriarty but will hopefully keep the defense solid when he comes on. [/QUOTE]
