[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 251563"] I think Powell and Thomas starting v Italy was to see which one played themselves into the starting lineup v Ireland. Jonathan Thomas wasn't great, but Powell was rubbish, and for that it's him who'll drop to the bench imo. Just watched scum v on iPlayer and it was interesting to see Gwyn Jones' analysis on O'Gara, Ireland are using Wallace as a babysitter for the poor lad, if we can draw Wallace away from O'Gara's side and attack him with Shanklin/Henson/Roberts, we should easily cross the gain line and score some points. That obviously means a big game up front, attacking around the fringes of rucks so Wallace doesn't have the luxury of standing in midfield. Agree with SmokeyMonkey on the team, and the bench should be: 16 John Yapp 17 Huw Bennet 18 Luke Cherteris 19 Andy Powell 20 Warren Fury 21 James Hook 22 Jamie Roberts Mike Phillips better not get himself injured, or we'll be in big trouble as Warren Fury isn't up to a match like this!
