I am from Lancashire. It comes from not being able to ever bring myself to support England union after the ***** they've been over the years, England's union and football teams boring me death anyway, and just wanting to be different. Dad's scottish, so they're as good as anyone.

Rubbish lineout and rubbish penalties given away from England. Better cheap-shots from Ireland.

That's a try. England are completely rank.

Bravo White, get within two tries and do that. People who give penalties like that away the manager/coach should just tell them they ain't playing for a couple of months.

We were pretty average yesterday, yes.
Fair play to the Micks tho, took us apart & were just too good for us. Triple Crown looks their's for the taking.

File this story under "inevitable but spirit-crushing".
The RFU & the clubs have really got to sort it out. We're trying to compete with the best in the world with one hand tied behind our backs all the time. The All-Blacks sit their 22 best players out of the Super 14 for fitness training & our boys are having lumps knocked out of them in club games between internationals, S'not right.

Hmm. On 11th Feb I said this (note emboldened bit):
England team: J Lewsey (Wasps); D Strettle (Harlequins), M Tindall (Gloucester), M Catt (London Irish), J Robinson (Sale); T Flood (Newcastle), H Ellis (Leicester); T Payne (Wasps), G Chuter (Leicester), J White (Leicester), M Corry (Leicester), T Palmer (Wasps), J Worsley (Wasps), T Rees (Wasps), N Easter (Harlequins).
Replacements: L Mears (Bath), S Turner (Sale), L Deacon (Leicester), M Lund (Sale), S Perry (Bristol), S Geraghty (London Irish), M Tait (Newcastle).
No Jonny or Farrell. We're (& I'm) buggered. Fat Gray Smith for a month.
Then laid down the gauntlet:
Which Bennett took up:
Ladies & gentlemen, I present (courtesy of the Beeb) England's team to play France on Sunday:I'll go that.

Firstly, no Jonny = arse. Secondly, dropping Danny Grewcock = madness. Thirdly, moving Corry to the second row even though he's only ever played there for England once (RWC '03) = absolute lunacy 
The positives I can see are:
* White coming in to start (in a way I'm glad Vickery's injured because he'd have been dropped a while a go if he wasn't captain)
* Lewsey moving to fullback with Strettle & Robinson as wings - that's more like the pace we need! I think Josh is a far better fullback than Morgan.
* Mike Catt starting at centre

Oh dear, what a gimme from Scotland after all the work to be level.
Fortunately there's a bit of violence in this game to keep it interesting...
