It'll be interesting to see how Farrell does at inside centre.

as long as he remembers what code he's playing...

A few has beens and a few never will be's ! Farrell might be OK against Scotland and Italy but will get found out when he plays against someone with any pace. He had moved to prop at RL 3 years ago as his body started failing him.

Brilliant. Excellent choice , full of experience and, erm, long-standing injuries, rust, old ideas, formulaic tactics...

The Irish will eat them alive and us Welsh might even have a go.

be interesting to see if the central contracts make any difference over time. Looking at the 6 nations though, I'd just like to see the Calcutta Cup back in England...

Considering recent history and that squad we will be lucky to finish above Italy!

A couple of inspired performances may save the day, but the squad will not gel in time to do much.

This England team - no, this juggernaut - should beat the Italians.

I'm not sure how they'd do against the Aylesbury Boys Grammar School First XV though.
