    You never beat the All Blacks, though sometimes you score more points.

    England team to face Italy

    England: Daly; Watson, Slade, Farrell (capt), May; Ford, Youngs; M Vunipola, Cowan-Dickie, Sinckler, Itoje, Hill, Lawes, Curry, B Vunipola.

    Replacements: George, Genge, Stuart, Ewels, Earl, Willis, Robson, Malins.

    Lawrence paying the price for Farrell's poor game. Good to see LCD get a start at hooker following George's invisible display last week.

    Yeah with the players in the backline and the expected physicality I would have gone with a 6-2 slpit

    Yeah that was probably his only England game. Edited likes to do that, one test then dropped forever!

    It's only Italy, and with ford at ten, many cracks will be papered over.

    If both teams play liked last weekend, Scotland by a fair bit. But how often are they consistent? So it should be close

    Haha not in Edinburgh, will be borderline freezing tho. If the backs see as much ball as England's they will die of hypothermia!

    I did have one weekend, my first, in St Andrews where it got down to -16, and the harbour froze enough to bounce pebbles off. Mrs Mach said WTF are we doing living here!?

    That walk to Murrayfield is like the Retreat from Stalingrad regardless of the time of the year.
