That doesn't surprise me tbh...
It means I love Tigers but I love England more,no big deal and doesnt make me less of a fan than anyone on here regardless of the snarky,snidy like digs all the time.
Tigers first, then Lions...England not particularly interested (in any sport tbh)...hangover from the "Selection" Policy when I started watching Union properly.
With you there. Afraid my involvement with the blazers in the late 90s, coming on the end of the Tafia in the early 90s, meant a disinterest in the connivance of the latter and the upper class contempt of the former.

Hahaha, love this in-house English 'I'm a bigger fan than you!!' cat fighting. Rugby has traditionally closed down in Wales on international weekends. Don't understand why England have never done the same. It's only very recently that the odd weekend games have slipped in to the schedule but they don't overlap like on Saturday.
Who cares about Wales though really? 😜 jokes aside though the PRO14 is an awful league and is really just a vehicle for European and international rugby.
The powers that be seem to care. They've scheduled the championship decider between France and Wales for the very last match. :smt004

Nothing new with regard to Covid cases from Premiership Rugby from the first batch of tests this week.Lets hope we can keep the trend up and extend through the soon to begin Six Nations period.

France should be good enough for a Grand Slam, but with two away matches in Dublin and Twickenham, they may have to wait another year.
Their objective however, is the 2023 World Cup in France, where they will be among the favourites to win! I just hop)e they don't peak too soon.

England team up

England: Daly; Watson, Slade, Lawrence, May; Farrell (capt), Youngs; Genge, George, Stuart, Itoje, Hill, Wilson, Curry, B Vunipola.

Replacements: Cowan-Dickie, Obano, Williams, Lawes, Earl, Robson, Ford, Malins.

Would prefer to see Malins start instead of Daly

Looks like a side to batter the Scots in the first half then George Ford on to cut them to bits unleashing some runners later on??

Could start with Ford to do the same from the beginning.

I think the stronger team has Ford at 10 with Farrell at 12 and Lawrence on the bench but I'm guessing EJ wants to see Lawrence on his 4th cap having a longer run against what he may think is a relatively 'easy' home fixture. Either way we have a strong side and I am expecting a good win.

Let's face it unless Daly insults Eddie's dog he will always be picked, same goes for other players. Good to see that Obano could make his long overdue cap from the bench, however knowing Eddie he will either come on for 50 seconds or not at all.

I think EJs dog is more suited to International Rugby at 15 than Daly.
