If it could be played the next weekend, PRL should remove their heads from their backsides to allow it to happen with as strong teams as possible.

PRL have been pathetic over player release over this Six Nations, they are unfit for purpose, they bungle virtually everything they touch.
To win is not as important as playing with style!

Nope. They’re not allowed to leave the bubble unless there is a like for like replacement. So likely we won’t see him until it is over.

More or less as expected, although on form, neither Farrell nor Vunipola B should be in the team. I wonder what England’s tactics will be? Let me guess.......😬

Its difficult to know what's more mad, Daly still being at 15 or the selection of other out of form players.

Good luck to Martin, be interesting to see where he plays if he comes on & if he actually gets meaningful game time unless it's as an injury replacement.

If your Wales do you kick at Daly as he is usually in the wrong position or try to run at him as he is so defensively hopeless, by default you might confuse the opposition by selecting him.

I'm amazed, Martin will be a great player, but this has a funny feel about it, he's hardly got the dust off his boots, good luck to him I hope he has a great game.

Do we know how many games/mins he has played for Tigers, its great for him, not sure I would have picked him yet, but Eddie Jones, has he lost his mind with some of those other selections, its basically the same old boring lacklustre team and tactics. :smt017

I love Martin. But would anybody legitimately place him in the top 20 back rows in the country? Top 30?

A lot of players scratching their heads right now.

As for rest of lineup, Slade and Farrell doesn't work and Daly hasn't performed for a long, long time now.

LCD has surely earned a start over a sluggish George?

Very questionable selection IMO and I think we may get a pasting.
