7-1 bench split?
Why all these guys go to Rome just for a few industry processed, micro wave reheated waffles is beyond me, why don't they go to Belgium for a taste of the real thing?
Maybe they were looking for the mysterious blue waffle?

Selecting Farrell as a water carrier to convey Eddies' instructions in the shortest possible timeframe to allow Watson to go back to work in time?

This thread is surreal. I'm off to read about the latest Piers Morgan shenanigans.

What is this thread?.......
Anyway of all the French players I'm actually most scared of Dulin. He's a decent fullback but an exceptional one when it comes to kicking. Can't wait for Daly to have to handle the bombs he sends his way

Did anyone read Sir Clive Woodward's selection in the Mail for the game on Saturday?
If you want a snigger, have a read down this list. Controversial to say the least.
Oh, and apart from injuries, he wants them to play the full 80 mins without using the bench for knackered/ poor performing players.
Has he lost the plot?
15 Max Malins
14 Anthony Watson
13 Piers O'Connor
12 Henry Slade
11 Paolo Odogwu
10 Marcus Smith (VC)
9 Harry Randall
1 Ellis Genge
2 Luke Cowan-Dickie
3 Kyle Sinkler
4 Maro Itoje (C)
5 Alex Dombrandt
6 Sam Underhill
7 Tom Curry
8 Sam Simmonds.
Whatever side France put out, I fear they are too good for England. Ntamack, Dupont, Dulin, Vakatawa and Penaud are are all better than their English opposites IMO. Maybe not Penaud? And that's just the backs.
I hate being pessimistic about England's chances, but Eddies selections are both puzzling and frustrating. It's almost like he wants us to lose.

**** it, why not?
With the exception of Dombrandt in the donkey row and Slade as a 12 that side is far more in form than the current England one
Yay! Tbh I don't think he's biased at all, he's just a bang average ref who often makes some poor decisions.

Odogwu was in form. Ridiculously he hasn't had any game time in 2 months.
Woodward's bonkers as we all know but the article's mainly railing at premeditated subs. And there he has a point.
SIR CLIVE WOODWARD: Finish this nonsense! No more caps for the bench
SIR CLIVE WOODWARD: Selection is priority - picking on form and not shying away from dropping big names. And cut out the obsession with finishers. Apart from injuries, do not make any replacements.

Yeah who would play players that haven't played for two months, stupid idea they'd have terrible form...Odogwu was in form. Ridiculously he hasn't had any game time in 2 months.

(Mako, Itoje, Billy, Farrell & Daly) slowly hide behind the sofa.
He's been right about a few things lately. He just likes to sit from the sidelines and react like everyone else. It's basically a tv version of an armchair pundit on TV and the man's very very unabashedly proudly english.Odogwu was in form. Ridiculously he hasn't had any game time in 2 months.

Why there are premeditated subs, why we have favourites, why we stick solely to data rather than feel which in turn influences sticks... I've no idea. Data efficiency rather than on field efficiency.

Saving himself for the Wales cap in the summer.....
Funny seeing Woodward call out to many subs when Jones left two on the bench in the Wales game and 3 out of those 6 had 10 minutes or less on the pitch, (Malins had 5!)
I would say that it seems Jones doesn't trust half the squad he has even picked! Which does make sense considering his comments the other day
