I think Tuilagi is our best 13 at this point in time but I don't think I'd like to see a Barritt/Tuilagi midfield as their is no plan B if the opposition defend well.

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 16:31

3000 at Kingston park today. Looks like the writing is on the wall.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 16:33

'Good crowd that Steve!

I hope we get to see a Barritt/Manu midfield in 6N, think it would be great myself.

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 16:37

I think there would be so much pressure on Flood (or whoever is 10) to manage the game and create the gaps in the midfield to put them in. Also no other kicking option and we don't really have the Parra type of 9 who could take the pressure off.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 16:39

Disagree with that, think that backline would really work.

by stnick88 Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 16:42

have to wait and see.
have to have farrell on bench to give another passing/kicking option if it isnt working.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 16:47

Barritt has a decent boot on him

Ireland - Sexton + D'Arcy/BOD not really kicking midfield
Wales - Priestland + Roberts/JD very much not kicking midfield
NZ - Carter + Nonu/Smith not really kicking midfield

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 16:49

It's all about balance and funding right combo, it's not as simple as saying that midfield wouldn't work as on paper Roberts/JD are very similar but they work pretty well

by stnick88 Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 16:57

Wasps are gona get battered here!!

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 16:58

True but I am allowed to say that I don't think it will work on paper.

I suspect we will see Farrell and Barritt in the midfield (either as 10/12 or 12/13) v Scotland with Tuilagi and Flood both likely to miss out and hopefully that will work as it has done for Saracens.

The more I see of 36 the more I think he could be the man in the 12 shirt. Will be watching him closely today.

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 16:59

You said the same last week Nick!! I hope it is a decent game. Wasps pack looks better with Du Plessis and Poff in their.

by stnick88 Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:01

i know but your team is better than wasps!
hope wasps win but cant see it

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:01

Didn't half give 36 a jinx there!

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:02

Simpson dropped for Berry, interesting call. Guess on the back foot Berry gives better control/basics.

You can say what you want Steve and I do see your point I just don't think it's that simple, Barritt/Manu really tickles me lol

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:03

Wasps have some dangerous backs, but don't have the pack to give them a platform to play from.

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:03

Has he actually been dropped or is it rotation?

by stnick88 Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:05

dropped. apparently last week he had a massive go at varndell on the pitch and had a stinker all game and was subbed off.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:05

Daley looks a talent, reminds me of Jared Payne a bit in style

Commentator just said dropped for lack of form.

Big game for Parling, could sneak in EPS if performs

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:08

Hmmm I'd have loved to have seen Youngs v Simpson as a contest.

Very big games here for Webber, Parling, 36 and Waldrom today in terms of EPS ambitions.

Waldrom can only really play himself out of the squad whereas the other 3 will have to play themselves in you'd think.

Players like Daly, Smith and Allen could been there or there about for the Saxons

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:09

Watch how much Allen takes contact...

Agree there Steve, huge weekend

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:11

What game is Lancaster at today? I know he was at Franklins Gardens last night?

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:13

Are you making that point in favour or against Allen Pooly?

by stnick88 Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:14

he is at welford

agree pooly, decent player though strong runner bit like hipkiss but better

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:17

I loved Allen when he first came through but he hasn't quite progressed as I'd like. Great work from Daly there and well taken by Berry.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:17

Neither really Steve, for a small guy he seeks contact more often than not. Great work Berry

Haha...think you're right there, poor Hipkiss

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:23

This game is making me want to watch the old Wasps v Leicester games

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:28

Wasps doing good things at the breakdown.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:29

Yea looking good, Webber spoiling it though. Darts are all over

by stnick88 Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:33

poff is a handy player
wentzel what are you thinking!!

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:35

Complete butcher! Surely a knock on?!?!

by stnick88 Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:38

tim payne has been quietly impressive this season

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:40

Wasps also doing okay at the scrum. Makings of a good game. Very surprised if Leicester don't win it though.

They don't seem quite themselves atm do Leicester. Will be a massive test for them at Ravenhill.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:41

Hawkins playing well, looks like Ctoft a bit

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:41

Not nice from Hawkins. Jones has been doing okay so far aswell.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 17:48

Can't see Tigers winning at Ravenhill with 36 at 10

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 18:25

36 is doing well i thought. I don't think that Leicester would win at Ravenhill with Flood at 10 if they play with this pack.

by stnick88 Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 18:28

Mafi and parlIng playing very well

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 18:32

36 is playing well but much better at 12, dont look as fluid in the backs.

Parling having a stormer just back from injury, best 5 in country imo. Would be immense alongside a big carrying lock like Garvey or Attwood

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 18:34

Croft has been impressive too

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 18:34

36....29 points, Jesus.

by stnick88 Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 18:38

Croft has had a good game.
Parling and Garvey would be a good combo. Is lawes guaranteed a place?

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 18:40

Croft and Cole have been magnificent. For me they are certain starters for England. 29 points for 36 as well. Been very impressive.

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 18:42

Lawes has to start for me. Him with Garvey would be the combo for me going forward. Not necessarily this 6N but certainly long term. With Croft in the back row the lineout would be okay.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 18:50

Couldn't start Garvey & Lawes imo

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 18:52

You would have Wood there as well to help out with the lineout and although Lawes couldnt lead a lineout hes not a bad jumper himself so could get away with Garvey and Lawes in the row

by Steven_Sharks Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 18:54

I would be very happy with Garvey, Lawes, Croft and Wood. Cover all bases their I think but as I said not sure lawes and Garvey should be the immediate pair.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 18:55

I'm not sure Croft and Wood would make a good flank combo either, need to see them play really

by Guest Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 19:04

watching glaws worcester right now after playing.

we miss dawiduik when he does not play. lawson the worst scrummager i have ever seen. whenever he plays it really effects our props

by Guest Sat 7 Jan 2012 - 19:22

Jeez we should have nailed the game first half.

May so dangerous with ball in hand.
