forgot fagerson was injured but surprised Bayliss didn't get the nod at 6. Delighted for Darge but not sure about the size of that back row, may at least have us more competitive at the breakdown which has been a bit of an issue for a while now. 

Backs as before, would've had Johnson back with no Redpath, worry about Tuipulotu's defence against Dante.

Get the physicality and breakdown back up to acceptable levels, don't give away daft penalties and work through the phases better in attack and we have a chance. Not much though, I'd say France by a score

Starting 15 is as strong as we can manage at the moment given the injuries, apart from maybe Johnson at 12. First and foremost we should be picking at team to play to our strengths which needs players quick to the breakdown so we can generate quick ball for the backs.

Good to see Bennett back in the match day squad, but im pretty worried for this one, hopefully if we can keep it tight the French will either panic and throw a punch or try to run it from their own 22 when winning with the clock red again, or something similar

52 is no age at all. One of the most successful players to play both codes.
 

I had the honour of watching him for both Wasps and then Newcastle.

He was a specimen!  Even in his latter days, when he had lost a bit of pace, there was a sense of excitement when he got the ball, and anticipation of the havoc he was about to unleash.

Couldn't find much video of him (playing union), and although this is not a glorious try, it was a moment I still remember every now and then, and can say "I was there"!

He was an absolute star, and one of my heroes!

Found this, i haven't watched it, but I'm sure there will be plenty clips showing Inga's famous "SIT DOWN" side step.

Even though I'm a Wasps fan, you have to admire that 97/98 team, with dare I say it Scotlands greatest player Gary Armstrong in it.

Will watch this soon though.

Looks like the women's team are going to the world cup. Playing really well here and pretty much have Columbia put away before half time.
28-3 at half time, and as I commented to the missus there, Colombia kicked the penalty as they were already worried about not getting on the board.
