The Six Nations

[Teabags]

Touche, however Cuthbert at this moment in time is a liability. He's an athlete, sure, but he has no 'rugby' brain.

I wanted to get tickets for the game, but they sold out in like 30.25 seconds. Should be the championship decider though

Know exactly what you mean, he doesn't quite seem to have the hands and a rugby brain.
Just as a naive comment though, I think if he's pretty much told what line to run, his athleticism will do the rest for him.
Wales do have two gargantuan wingers though. Other than Fofana, I think they can be considered as the strongest pair of wingers in the tournament. North is a definite step up though.

This is true. I can see North and Halfpenny as the only certain Lions places from Wales and I'd love to say the same thing about Cuthbert but you can't really overlook the likes of Twelvetrees.

Been really surprised by Twelvetrees. He's done well, but I'm not totally convinced that he's got a place in the Lions.
If I had a Lions back line, it give or take it'd have
9 Youngs
10 Farrell - if his foot is okay after today
11North
12 Probably Strettle - even though we haven't seen much of him.
13 O'Driscoll
14 Ashton
15 either halfpenny or alex goode.
(Can't point out any particular/ special quality of Goode, but he's just seems to have kept his nerve)
Tualagi must go in somewhere for crashball purposes.

I think I'd go for:
9 Youngs
10 Farrell
11 North
12 Barritt/Roberts
13 BOD
14 Manu Tuilagi
15 Halfpenny

As a side note, I absolutely despise Ashton.

any particular reason?
He was quite arrogant last year, but I'd still say he's still worthy.

An example being in the French game right when the whistle had gone. If he had world class skills then I would probably like him but atm I think someone like Visser could easily fill his shoes.

Agreed he has a temper, but I didn't actually see what happened/ what Ashton did - thought Fall kicked off unnecessarily.
and he is the highest point scorer for the England team - bar Flood and Farrell at 10.

He threw the ball at like the French player (can't remember which one), it was something pathetic but it was just really un-professional haha. I'd still take Manu/Twelvetrees over Ashton anyday.

Watching it back, (not that I'm condoning what Ashton did), Fall did shove Ashton abit which is the only reason why - if you can class that as provocation. Eitherway, was unnecessary from both sides.

Just on an off note.
I forgot to include Max Evans as a winger in my backline.
Hasn't had much of a game so far, but he's such a dangerous character.

Haven't seen him really, could still get a call up though.

Also I'm well pleased that Scotland won, makes our job to take 2nd (or 1st) place easier! Very well played and Laidlaw has just become my new Lions number 9
