John Lambies Doos Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 If Rhys Webb and Dan Biggar were in there I'd happily support England against them.I will be supporting England against Wales. I've absolutely no issue with that... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 20 hours ago, Detournement said: The French pack looks strong but the backs look a bit thrown together. Ntamack is going to be a big star. Medard at full back is strange considering Thomas Ramos starts at 15 for Toulouse. Edit - Just seen that this is only Lopez and Parra's second start together for France. Shows how unlucky they have been with injuries. Christ, is that Ntmack the son of the guy who played at the start of the 2000s? I'm getting old. Those backs look like they'll either destroy Wales or they'll keep knocking on without being tackled and lose by about twenty points. If you really want to know which France will turn up, look to Poirot for clues, etc, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Wales really being talked up in media. Can't see them beating us in Murrayfield and think they could struggle against France tomorrow night and Ireland on their home patch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 What would be classed as a surprise. I think Italy beating anyone would be (maybe not France in Rome), England beating Ireland in Dublin, Scotland winning in London or Paris, France beating England in London. Any others? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggy Snake Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Just now, Mark Connolly said: Pretty good. Kinghorn's defence gives me the fear though. Exactly my thoughts, especially when Sean Maitland's great defence has saved us in that position a number of times. I assume he'll be back in for the bigger games. Happy with the rest of the team though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Should be a good enough team to see off Italy, I would assume Gray and Maitland are just slight knocks and aren't being risked with bigger games to come 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be live music no doubt and the small matter of Ireland v England on the big screen. Thanks - had a look and the 3 sisters fanzone looks exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for. Not this weekend, were going in March for wales so a bit of time yet - only concern would be getting back from Murrayfield in time for the next match kicking off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially add in Adam Hastings when France and Scotland face each other. Surely Gavin Hastings faced those two at some point? 19 minutes ago, Jaggy Snake said: Good team. Looking forward to Laidlaw's velvety vocals and the underlying threat of Wilson giving the referee a chokeslam for getting a decision wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Notable that Townsend has selected Bhatti despite him not getting a lot of game time this season. I'm happy enough with that team but hopefully Maitland and JG will be back for Ireland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 France, Wales, England and Ireland are all starting full backs who don't regularly play 15 for their club side. Hogg is in a league of his own in the Northern Hemisphere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
same_ol_g35 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Back to the Dunbar situation. Saying his farewells on Instagram. Shame to see him go but as folk have said we need to free up money and space to improve the squad and give youngsters like McDowall a shot at playing time. Dunbar was a great servant and I wish him well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
