I think Eng will put them to the sword.
If they kick as badly as they did today the English back 3 will shred them.

Or maybe his conservative nature took over and he picked out of form players on the basis of performances 12 or 24 months ago.

Re: Brexit - now we see what it means.

If I was a betting man I would go for the deal going through parliament, sounds like it will be very tight though and could easily go either way. As for the DUP I think they need to accept that the deal is probably the best we were going to get. Its a rotten deal for NI No it isn't. It's still a de...

Black wall in defence and near perfect accuracy in attack. That's hard to beat.

Re: International classification

Japan are several notches above Italy. The flip side of that is that Italy excelled for a few years and once they were elevated to tier 1 they went backwards quickly and became the whipping boys of the 6N. Japan have a much better base to build on than Italy had and I suspect they will kick on.

Altitude, the boys ran out of oxygen after half a dozen phases. Their blood would have needed at least 10 days to adapt to the thinner air.
