Will also get league table updated in the morning.

its all glamour for Pete hey!!

Something like that Mat

Stuart Barnes wanting a Barritt/Tuilagi midfield with Farrell at no10 - Lancaster has said that Tuilagi will feature.

Mat what do you make of Ryan Mils?

Have said for a while that i think Mills is quality. can play 10 or 12 and does not make mistakes. I dont think Burns will make it that far but i think mills will.

We have so many good backs coming through at gloucester.

Savage in the backrow had a cracking game on SAturday against Bath also

Just to let you know...ben morgan is staying guys!!

Gethin Jenkins signs for Toulon - and I thought saints had good front row options...

Nice one Pete easily sorted.

You do love the red ink though

Gets everyones attention nicely

Pete have you ever considered putting your CV in for the presidency of a country in the Middle East? I am not sure why but I think you'd be good at it (until the uprising)

Can you tell that I work in a disciplined service?

Maybe a little...

Wales team named today apparently.

Good article about Wasps in the Telegraph:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/9092391/Luck-deserts-London-Wasps-as-relegation-threat-grows-following-defeat-to-Exeter-Chiefs.html

Not so good for Drew Mitchell:

http://www.planetrugby.com/story/0,25883,3824_7535574,00.html

WALES: Leigh Halfpenny; Alex Cuthbert, Jonathan Davies, Jamie Roberts, George North; Rhys Priestland, Michael Phillips; Gethin Jenkins, Ken Owens, Adam Jones, Alun Wyn Jones, Ian Evans, Dan Lydiate, Sam Warburton (capt), Toby Faletau.

Replacements: Richard Hibbard, Paul James, Ryan Jones, Justin Tipuric, Lloyd Williams, James Hook, Scott Williams.


Can't believe they've dropped Ryan Jones - but mind you Lydiate was massive against the Jocks

Easy win England I reckon, see nothing in that Welsh side to be afraid of.

Except North, Warburton, Jones, Roberts..........etc. Its going to be tough afternoon

League table is up to date

I think we will win. Taffs hate it at HQ


I am looking forward to it. got to try and not drink much so i can enjoy the atmosphere and game

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/17111130

Glos getting rid of lawson as Dawiduik and Britton progressing so well

That's a very good Welsh team - we are going to have to win the kicking game and then just hammer their lineout - could be a big advantage there.

Will be a tough game.

Just got tickets to see Eng u20s game on Friday night at the Stoop, really looking forward to it!

Swinson leaves Falcons for Glasgow

Not sure if that is a promotion or not for swinson. Is he eligible for scotland?? even so not sure he will be getting a look in there either

Nope he's only eligible for England and Australia

Sgt_Pooly wrote:Except North, Warburton, Jones, Roberts..........etc. Its going to be tough afternoon

Very tough for you ladies

Were North and Davies born in England?

So were Lydiate and Cuthbert

Ah don't make me list all these things again.....pointless argument in my eyes.

we are the last people that should talk about foreigners.

It's ok prop we can do a trade of those boys for Fourie, Flutey, Barritt, Stevens and a few others if you like? Seems a fair swap!

Your midfield is going to run through us I feel...

I agree there Nick

Nah your ok Chris you can keep those 4 if you like.....still a shame you may be calling upon a number 8 who's been moulded in Wales most of his career though to help......ooo check me out stoking the fire before I leave the office

Lol - good to see a Welshman feeling confident about a rugby game - guess Wales are back to being the best team in the world again?

Glasgow Warriors have announced the signing of Newcastle lock Tim Swinson ahead of next season.

Swinson has 82 appearances to his name for the Falcons and will bring a wealth of Premiership experience to the RaboDirect PRO12 side after putting pen to paper on a two-year deal. His signing follows hot on the heels of the recruitment of Tonga's Viliami Ma'afu.

And the 25-year-old is eligible to play for Scotland through his maternal grandmother and is relishing the chance to turn out for the Warriors.



He is eligible after all but i'm sure he's had a saxon's cap????

Impressed with Quins scrum at the weekend, thought Marler really got at his opposite number and big JJ anchored really well. I wonder if Rowntree has worked with Marlers technique???

Saull looked great at the weekend too at the breakdown.

Never though I'd write the above but good to admit when your wrong

Good scrum they were against as well. Get a strong scrum and they are in a very healthy position for the rest of the season.

Wow Tom Palmer has been released back to Stade Francais! Big call by Lancaster, JTH and Brown also gone back...

So does that mean...

1. Corbs
2. Hartley
3. Cole
4. Lawes
5. Botha
6. Croft
7. Robshaw
8. Morgan
9. Dickson
10. Hodgson
11. Ashton
12. Farrell
13. Tuilagi
14. Strettle
15. Foden

Bench: Webber, Stevens, Parling, Dowson, Youngs, Flood, Barritt?

I think Sharples has been retained, makes sense for him to be on the bench due to 11,13,15 and 15 cover he provides.

I'm shocked at that - Croft to lead the lineout then

Sharples is injured

Parling to start I reckon with Lawes on bench

Lawes will go straight in I reckon as he's a one man wrecking ball in defence and reckon they will need that against the Welsh runners.

Guess the good thing about Wales is that there pack isnt full of great ball carriers - very much balanced out with that backline though...

They miss Rees and Davies in there front 5 massivly , need to run Falatau off his legs this weekend

Will be a great battle watching Morgan and Falatau - am glad we have a big no8 at last.

Can see Lancaster wanting to make sure his defence is solid - so Lawes and Barritt could both feature - not sure if he can drop Farrell because of his kicking though.

Not sure he'll start Lawes Chris. I agree with your points but he apparently looked jaded (as expected) at weekend. Parling would match our call about the lineout as he's a good reader of opposition.

Personally I'd have went Lawes/Palmer if both firing but that's not the case

I suspect it will be Botha and Parling starting with Lawes off the bench for impact. Makes sense to start Parling as the lineout is real weakness for Wales.

Not overly happy with the make up of backs retained for weekend. No back 3 cover on the bench is a worry.
