yes I agree, however let’s add the new combo of Care and Fin Smith in for our latest prediction insteadGB72 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 11:56 amIt has fallen in the worst way as there would be strong case to play Care and M Smith or Mitchell and F Smith but now we have lost half of each pairing.KiwiTig wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 11:45 amLosing both Smith and potentially Mitchell would be a big loss !TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 7:19 am https://twitter.com/willgkelleher/statu ... lhI0A&s=19
Alex Mitchell is now a doubt
Would like to see us make more of club pairings in the team especially with either the Quins or Northampton backs. We rarely seem to do that yet complain that Ireland have the benefit of players at Leinster playing together every week.

In the absence of Dupont, Mauvaka to be man of the tournament I reckon.Robespierre wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 11:08 am Here's the French team for Friday evening's opening match, and it's as expected.
I'm really hoping that Racing scrum half, Nolan Le Garrec, gets more than 5 minutes at the end of the game to be properly tested at international level, because I'm convinced he has the potential to keep Antoine Dupont on his toes!
15. Ramos ; 14. Penaud, 13. Fickou, 12. Danty , 11. Moefana ; 10. Jalibert, 9. Lucu ; 7. Ollivon, 8. Alldritt (cap.), 6. Cros ; 5. Willemse, 4. Gabrillagues ; 3. Atonio, 2. Mauvaka, 1. Baille
Remplaçants : 16. Marchand, 17. Wardi, 18. Aldegheri, 19. R. Taofifenua, 20. Woki, 21. Boudehent, 22. Le Garrec, 23. Bielle-Biarrey.

Romain Taofifenua, who’s been selected on the bench for tomorrow evening’s match, is doubtful and could be replaced by Posolo Tuilagi.

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
A sensible selection for England which will allow the controlled introduction of several new caps. Having two starting and three on the bench is a good balance.

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
This has now been confirmed. Tuilagi is « only » 1m92 so is hardly likely to be a line out threat (as I mentioned earlier, it’d take a forklift truck to get his 145 kgs off the ground) but with ball in hand it’ll take more than one Irish defender to tackle him.Robespierre wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 8:10 am Romain Taofifenua, who’s been selected on the bench for tomorrow evening’s match, is doubtful and could be replaced by Posolo Tuilagi.

No lineout threat but presumably made up for by lineout options in the back row?Robespierre wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 2:51 pmThis has now been confirmed.

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Difficult when we’re missing three quality centres in Tuilagi, Lawrence and Marchant. Good to test strength in depth and hope Marchant does come back next season.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 2:09 pmSpot on with the wingers swappedLeicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 3:43 pm Leaked starting XV: F Steward; E Daly, H Slade, F Dingwall, T Freeman; G Ford, D Care; J Marler, J George, W Stuart, M Itoje, O Chessum, E Roots, S Underhill, B Earl
