Pretty happy I have to say! Stoddart is unlucky not to make the XV but Halfpenny does give us a great boot. Very happy to see Hooky get another chance!
Roll on Saturday!

Ireland will provide a tough test, It will be interesting to see what BOD does since he was kept very quite against Scotland.

I reckon Wales will edge the win, however it will be a very tight game.
