Anything to stop him from passing.

So as at 08:40 this morning:

Maximum predicted points difference - 62
Minimum predicted points difference - 26

Average predicted points difference - 40

Betting odds PD - 32

Average PD over last six Italy/England matches - 33

Will 32, 33, or 40 PD be enough?

I would say so. France are not going to beat Ireland by 35 points (which is what is needed if we win by 32, so our only risk is if Ireland win with a bonus point.

Allez les Bleus!

ETA. Sh*t, forgot about Ireland's PD. They are 23 points ahead of us, so they'd need to beat France by 9 points based on a 32 point win for us. Definitely come on France!

[Mr Mwenda]

I reckon a frenchman will be red carded in the first half, with ireland scoring their fourth try in extra time, ruining my evening.

I was tempted to put George, but we haven’t been particularly good at executing tries from lineout drives. I’m imagining us failing to convert but getting close and Youngs sniping from about 1-2m.

EDIT: I have a tenner on May to score 2 or more tries (3/1) hence choices

Is it worth doing one for Georgia? I'm only really interested in who gets on first out of Dunn and Robson.

[Digby]

How many people are watching the Georgia game?

How many people are watching the Georgia game?

On the tele, or my computer, or possibly even trying out watching it on the quest 2 headset. Amazon prime.

Two days ago I was staunch in my belief my objection in principle to the game not being on TV, on Netflix, Sky or on BT would see me avoid it, but I'm starting to weaken.

I wonder what the record is for the lowest TV audience ever for an England game on TV, this one seems designed in advance to set new standards in such area.
