No Ford?!

No Ford?!

He’s on the bench. Should be starting in my opinion.

He’s a better 10 than Farrell for me mate!

100% agree. Not many out there better than Ford!

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.

Agreed, I find the fact that Steward isn’t even in the shadow squad a bit worrying.

Pretty decent Scotland side as well especially in the backs

cotland: Hogg (capt); Maitland, Harris, Redpath, Van der Merwe, Russell, Price; Sutherland, Turner, Z Fagerson, Cummings, J Gray, Ritchie, Watson, M Fagerson.

Replacements: Cherry, Kebble, WP Nel, R Gray, Graham, Steele, Van der Walt, Jones

Glad to see Obano playing. Great in the loose but weak in the scrum. Hopefully he’ll get an extended run in the team.

Italy v France teams:

Italy: Trulla; Sperandio, Zanon, Brex, Ioane; Garbisi, Varney; Traore, Bigi, Riccioni, Lazzaroni, Sisi, Negri, Meyer, Lamaro.

Replacements: Lucchesi, Fischetti, Zilocchi, Cannone, Ruzza, Mbanda, Palazzani, Canna.

France: Dulin; Thomas, Vincent, Fickou, Villiere; Jalibert, Dupont; Baille, Marchand, Haouas, Le Roux, Willemse, Cretin, Alldritt, Ollivon (capt).

Replacements: Bourgarit, Gros, Aldegheri, Taofifenua, Jelonch, Serin, Carbonel, Penaud.

I'm really surprised Damien Penaud isn't in the starting XV, as for me, hee's the outstanding winger in the Top14.
Also surprised with the preference of Dylan Cretin (poor guy, what a name!!) over Antony Jelonch, and no place for Cameron Woki. Even so, that looks a seriously strong French side that for me, could win the 6N with maybe a Grand Slam!

No offense Robespierre, but as one of the England fans firmly in the "so long as we beat France" category I do hope you're wrong. (This is a stance that particularly winds my sister's other half up as he is Scottish and can't stand the fact I'm more invested in Le Crunch than the Calcutta cup)

Wales for me mate as far as 6N goes. That’s the big one for me

Josh Adams suspended for Covid breaches from the Wales squad

Josh is certainly "not the sharpest tool in the box!" I wonder if anyone has explained the effects of Covid to him.
Stay safe all Tigers players and supporters we will need you all back in the ground.

I disagree, it was his scrummaging ability and defensive work that first brought him into England camp a couple of years ago but was the latest in a long line of players to return to their clubs with a very nasty injury, and since coming back from injury Obano has become a much better player in the loose.

If it’s close, Genge might get 80 minutes. You hide behind the sofa tomorrow if Eddie trusts him enough to bring him on. The Scots are limited but they can scrummage!
