A very big thank you to ohippy (our Leader) for sorting this again!

ta - i presume it'll be through the door and sit in the area we all ended up sitting in last time? (i.e the non restaurant bit)

Sounds good,can you carry a copy of the times and wear a pink carnation so I know it's you!

wargod

Was planning on going naked - but as it is a little chilly at the moment perhaps a carnation etc is the better option

Nice one rugbymad/ohippy - I notice this is a weekend when there are no Six Nations matches on!

Got our police and med request today - whoohoo!

wargod

Congrats - the rest is downhill from there

rugbymad

Well done you! Good news.Can't say I noticed there is no 6 Nations that weekend!!

Jensen Healey

Hmm, I suspect an element of untruthfullness in that comment! Predictions for Saturday?

rugbymad

Team announced around now,waiting to see if dayglo is in the team but I do EXPECT England to blow the welsh away,Twickenham has got to be turned into the "fortress" it once was,the World cup is not far away now and after the Autumn Internationals the signs for England are good,The forwards we have look in awesome form with the exception of White who looks slow around the park but it's good to see so much talent in the squad and all fit and raring to go,I think England by at least 15 points.Hodgson to score min of 15 I reckon!! bring on Moody,Corry and dayglo in the back row,Shaw and Grewcock to start 2 nd row who cares about the backs anyway,there all good!

Jensen Healey

I see your glass is half full! Looks like Dayglo's on the bench.

they won't keep him on the bench for long me thinks!! you can't have that much muscle,aggression and above all an old wise head sat on the bench for that long,my prediction is moody will make way at or around half time.moody has had so little rugby recently and Dayglo is gonna tear up the park when he gets on! i also thought Shaw would start but again I think Borthwick will make way for him early on.Ellis at 9 is also a surprise start,again he'll make way fro Dawson should he show nerves or the game starts going the other way( no danger there!!).i'd like to see Mears at some point,great form for Bath this season and he also proves you don't have to be over 6ft to play hooker for England,he's an old fashioned Hooker I think,could be a great if he matures into the role,with the World cup next year this is a very important time for England rugby and I for one hope the put the last 6 Nations to the back of the memory banks and this could be the first stepping stone to holding on to the World Cup
