[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 956605, member: 73144"] You can tell Geech used to be a teacher. In today’s Torygraph he rated England: Attitude: A+. “Most significantly they kept the decision making on the pitch and didn’t need any direction from the stands” Against Italy B I’d bloody well hope not. Not a great benchmark. Game Plan: A. Apparently we have real tactical clarity. Strength in depth: A+. Apparently this squad runs deeper than 03. Overall: A Whatever, Geech, whatever. We could go far, but that really would mean all the stars aligning and a couple of key players avoiding injury. The mental aspect remains one big Achilles heel and we’ve done the lack of cover / experience in certain positions to death. The warm ups were irrelevant. Nothing has changed except perhaps for Wales. They’ve lost their first choice 10 and possibly their 3rd choice too. But whoever wins will have to have a reliable defence, and Wales certainly have that. I reckon a couple of NH teams might put up a good fight, but ultimately I reckon Bill’s heading south of the equator yet again. [/QUOTE]
