brad barrit is probably a better centre and less likely to throw a shitfit when he doesn't get his own way.

He's pish but he's better than Farrell in contact and about as good at distribution (which is to say, awful). And Mark Bennett would probably argue with Joseph over who the most exciting centre is in the tournament. Vaders Jester fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Feb 4, 2016 |

I'd have liked Eddie to do something unexpected, pick someone I'd never have thought of. As it is, Farrell will be there, and it will be hilarious.

That French team looks really promising. Danty and Fickou could do some serious damage if they gel but even as individual players they're both capable of creating something. Starting Vakatawa is a potential disaster though, he's been exclusively playing sevens for two years now

For as much as I dislike Farrell (that finger thing he does after kicks makes me want to stab him) he has been in really good form for England's top club side. Ford has dipped a bit but this is the first time I've seen Ford and Farrell named in the same XV and agreed with both their selections. Gonna call a Scottish win though, England's back row will be over matched and Scotland's back line is as good as anyone's on paper. V V God now I feel bad, I thought it was something he'd made up himself. MyChemicalImbalance fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Feb 4, 2016 |

The interlocking fingers started as a rugby league thing, a tribute to a young fan who got cancer or some other awful disease. Farrell's connected to RL through his dad, obviously, so he picked up on it. He doesn't score a lot of tries though (because he drops the ball in the try zone) so he does it after his kicks.

I've lived in Scotland for 15 years now. Since my mother was English i have never supported Scotland when they played England. Saturday that changes: I CANNOT loving endorse a team that allows Dylan Hartley to play for them, he is literally everything that I despise about people in general and want to see him getting loving hammered by the Scottish pack.

Tyma I think special provisions should be made for English nationals. In other news I fully support Eddie Jones in his mission to make England arrogant cunts again. We tried being nice but that didn't work; now we may as well try to own our arrogant cunts stereotype.

Apollodorus posted:Cooper's crab-like preference for running sideways at the slightest provocation makes him a natural Sevens player. I just want to see him get flattened by SBW like the jobber he is. I'm interested to see how Vakatawa does, I've got him down as a breakout 15's player in this tournament. For Scotland Vs England I actually think Farrel at 12 is a good idea. I don't think he thrives at 10 because his decision making seems to be a bit suspect at times. I never thought I'd say it but I actually think England need Danny Cipriani in their centre though. Scotland team looks like the best we can put out I think, hopefully we will do well. Oh god whats happening I'm starting to hope things from a Scotland team. Aramoro fucked around with this message at 12:37 on Feb 5, 2016 |

Scotland lost because they thought it was clever to throw a long line out in strong winds and rain. That basically sums up the scottish mindset...just pissing in the wind

Usually our mindset is to piss on someone else's chips, especially when it means very little, like making GBS threads up Grand Slams and Triple Crown attempts or jobbing to Ireland in the last week so England miss out on the championship. We might be shite but we can usually drag some poor sod down with us.

Ireland team is very disappointing, this is a great chance to introduce some new players into the 23 and try out some new combinations. Instead we're going to learn absolutely nothing outside of the back row

Would've liked to see what McCloskey could do but unless he starts there's no room for him. Looking forward to seeing Stander in green but overall I'm far from optimistic about this Ireland team.
