[QUOTE="sCriv, post: 1071764, member: 79972"] Ireland and France favourites to win this year I think. Just feel like they're both more integrated now and further through their transition phase than England are atm. Both seem to have a better grasp of what they're trying to do and better game management than England. Clear strategy. It still feels like Eddie is tinkering and experimenting atm, and of course if you throw all our injuries into the mix too, that will have a bearing. If you look at the autumn internationals, for me Ireland in particular were the stand-out team. If you look at the stats in the NZ game, they dominated carries and metres made. Made Japan and Argentina look like pub teams too when they're both clearly not at all. Obviously I'm not dumb enough to write England off totally as we certainly have it in us to win if we play to our ability - but I can't really see how Eddie intends to play at the minute. What's our midfield combo going to be? Etc. Not too sure what our game plan is - whereas with the others you can clearly see it. Just my 50p in the mix. I hope God Courtney gets the captaincy too.
