Who is your 6N bolt from the blue? Empty Who is your 6N bolt from the blue?

With the Six Nations approaching to lift the post crimble gloom who do people think will be the young players to break through into the first team this spring?

For Wales we have a pretty settled look at the moment but I think Cuthbert has the chance to overtake Brew and become Shanes successor.

I think England could have any number of young players who could really break through if Lancaster is bold.

What others are going to come in and light up the best rugby tournament after the world cup?

Rob Miller the young 10 who is playing 15 at Sale in order to gain experience is catching the eye and had a great game against Tigers. Could be a back up option to Foden in the EPS though the smart money is for that role to go to Brown the Quins fb.

Twelvetrees/Farrell/JTH are all contending the back up 12 spot and there's a plethora of young wingers, hookers and locks vying for places. Miller would be more shocking an inclusion though.

For England I think the first XV won't surprise the fans that much and be more or less what we've all been selecting. The position that I think will provide the bolter is the no.22 utility back spot on the bench. Before he got injured I thought Jonathan Joseph was the stand out candidate, but I've a got a feeling Jonny May could well make the cut and make an impression as an impact player in the tournament.

I know what you mean by that statement. But I think the Heineken Cup is better than the 6N as a rugby tournament. Furthermore, I think a better standard of rugby is played in the Heineken Cup.

That said, I think Weir, if picked, might well stand up for Scotland as the welcome replacement of Parks.

Roberts and Davies might have a field day if the other teams can´t find adequate centre pairing that work well with one another. I´m looking though to see if Faletau can keep the same heady heights of the RWC last year.

For England, if Tuilagi can make the field, he might well be the man. A new backrow or wing replacement is the next best bet.

On the wing for England Christian Wade, Alex Goode could well be a Full Back/centre spot. But i would think that Mike Brown, will get the full back and Brad Brrit, and JTH for the centre spots.

Christian Wade has poor defence though.

Alex Goode is behind Brown and Foden.

JTH isn't all that really.


Barritt for inside centre. Charlie Sharples or Jonny May for one of the wing spots.

I'll give you two Scots. Dave Denton at number 8 and Stuart Hogg at 15.

I think Cuthbert in pole position to get Shanes slot.

Reckon Beck will get a good chance.

I think we will consider Cian Healy not Gethin Jenkins as the 6 Nations best loose head after this 6 Nations. Though at 24 he might be a bit young yet to establish himself in the Irish team Wink.

Alex Cuthbert the Cardiff Blues winger could also be someone we are talking about in the 6 Nations, but it will depend on the Welsh pack and how many injuries we have, because without the ball he can't do a lot.

Gray or George for the reserve hooker position are possibilities.

But I'm going for Henry Trinder to start against Scotland at OC.

I really like the look of Denton. He looks very physical.
