Why is English Rugby still the centre of attention?

First topic message reminder :

Here we go again!

England aren't favourites for this years six nations, nor are we 2nd or even 3rd, so why all the column inches across the British press, why all the comments/articles on sites such as this?

Why do people from all the other home nations love talking about English Rugby so much?

I’m baffled as to why, surely the Ire v Wal game should be the main talking point?

Huge game for both nations, Can Ireland gain revenge for their world cup exit, can Wales maintain their form or was it just a fluke?

Discuss.

You do make me laugh HERSH, i will give you that.

1. Scotland v England (6N - 2008)

2. Scotland v Wales (6N - 2011)

3. Scotland v England (6N 2010)

All at Murrayfield funnily enough!

Agree with no 1 definitely. Probably one of the most boring matches I have ever seen.

Luckily I only caught only last 20 minutes of no 3.

I hope England don't pick Barritt and Farrell as the centres. Please put Farrell on the bench. Start Barritt at inside centre and Trinder at outside centre.
