England v Pacific Islanders

England begin their Autumn Internationals against the Pacific Islanders this weekend and great to see some Leicester players in the mix with Croft in the England lineup at 6 while Rabeni starts at 13 for the Pacific Islanders. A cracking encounter in prospect and a number of new caps for England. Scoreline predictions please.

Two conveverted tries and two penalties v one converted try and three penalties?

Cannot see England scoring two tries unless they are both through the pack!

Ok, so somebody has got to be positive. I actually think we will score tries on Saturday, so i'll stick my neck and say we'll score 4 tries with 2 conversions and 2 penalties. So I predict 30-16.

4 tries to 2, a couple of penalties each and handbags at some point.

I haven't seen the teams. Are Alex and Lewis playing then?

It doesn't matter who is playing, the Pacific Islands are going to be combative, we all know that!

I think it will still be close at half time.

But by full time we'll have done 'em.

And the Islanders won't finish with XV men on the pitch!

Definitely agree with the first 2 points.
