[QUOTE="truthteller, post: 938487, member: 77056"] Italy stagnated theyre about 14th in the world...theyre trying bless them, conor has them sort of organized but they miss so many tackles. may win 1 game at rwc scotland. too weak up front in tight and at breakdown, need barclay fit and that blade thompson fit too....they will hopefully take confidence from twickers comeback. underachieved again. england. at times brilliant in attack, at times brilliant kicking , but overkicked. not good on the back foot, defensively exposed in the backs especially. also not as fit as the welsh wales. best defence in world. best scrum too, best fitness levels. possibly best breakdown specialists when all are fit. Playing a limited gameplan, they need to offload more in the pack and create quicker ball and they need faletau back to carry the ball.. their fly half seems more settled now so maybe they can unleash a great backline. get rhys webb available from toulon and there is a team organized enough passionate enough and talented enough to win a rwc ireland. gone backwards. best is retiring. the halfbacks were good on front foot, but awful in reverse. some backs are weak defensively and attacking wise theyre ok but earls and kearney need replacing and the centres im not convinced are quick or smart enough. their pack is still very strong but selection is key [/QUOTE]
