Team for Wales

Bloody hell, Dors. Tom Wood?!?!?

Yeah, maybe that was a bit OTT. What really grates is that he's the one bench man who offers less than bugger-all late in the game. I bet the Welsh will breathe a sigh of relief when he comes on in place of . . . well, anyone.

Wilson must be loving it too…

“Look, you're our cover for 7 and 8, and we want you to absolutely bust a gut in your main role… but at some point, we'll probably pull you off the pitch because, well, this guy played well when he was in NZ”

I am sorry for my post about the Slade/Manu passing thing. I've not got much else to say on it. I'll just go and reflect on what I've done.

The prompt apology will save you from a ban on this occasion. That, and your excellent biscuit etiquette.

The worst thing about it was seeing someone called "Mike Brown" criticise another player for a lack of passing...

Even though it's wrong; I love that.

As for the team - much as expected really.
Moon vs Genge is a bit of a coin toss; but I'd have to agree with Eddie - Genge just offers more impact than Moon from the bench - but I want him on the pitch for >30 minutes!.
Shields vs Hughes is the closest thing we have to a cripple fight at the moment - I'd far rather someone like Clifford, Mercer, or even Robshaw or t'other Curry. Both players seem to be picked based on reputations earned years ago - though I guess it's fewer years in Shields' case (though that could be countered that at least Hughes has shown international form whilst north of the equator - just not since he's been eligible for England).
Coka vs Te'o is an absolute no-brainer for me.

Jesus. I just posted the stat. I didn't even say anything about it. You'd think it might say a little about the way we're playing though. And if you've been watching recently you'll see my passing is fine thanks. To be honest I'm baffled by the idea anyone in England's back three (unless you count Goode) is considerably better.

Daly seems to have been slightly less of a spaz ball in hand recently, to be fair to him.
