[QUOTE="Rich Taff, post: 704099, member: 68394"] I don't know what it is about him, but he always appears to be playing in slow motion. Charteris had a great game versus ermm...I want to say Saracens, but I'm not sure it was them. He's gone from a beanpole to a really effective player, who's actually using his height to his advantage instead of falling over rucks to give away penalties. Also seems to have bulked up a bit without losing his lack of speed around the park.... Six months ago, I'd have said that of all the places England would struggle to get a world class pairing in, the last of them would have been second row. They've got a plethora of talent there, but all seem to be injured (yay!). AWJ is a shoe in, I've always thought Ian Evans was too stupid (not thick, just plain stupid) to play international rugby. I like Ball (yeah yeah no innuendo please), and pretty sure he's a few years younger than his beard. I'd definitely pick the old 12-13 of Roberts/Davies. From the little I've seen of them, they've been immense vs the England centres. Roberts was MoTM by a mile in the Northampton game, and JDII smashed Saracens(see previous query). I like Rhys Webb as starter, with Phillips to come on and just spread some muscle around if it gets tight. [/QUOTE]
