If England have played twice as many games as most teams, and won them all even though they're playing badly, just imagine what's in store when they start playing well. Bring it on
You've only got one gear, so hardly likely to go up one....... bring it on indeed!!
That said, young Farrell has made an impressive start to his international career - I almost feel sorry for him having to face the Welsh back-line........... almost.

Farce in France - stayed up until 4am only to see the match bloody postponed!
Yep, postponed 5 minutes before the kick off
The most farcical point being, a national stadium built in the late 90's that doesn't have undersoil heating
Absolutely ridiculous - packed stadium, 80,000 fans..... not a cheap trip for the Paddies. Compensation? Strongly suspect just ticket valid for re-arranged match.

Charge-down Charlie saves the day for England again & another professional performance by Wales who are showing surprising strength in depth. Scotland are a much better side than their results suggest & England will need to improve quite a bit to avoid home defeat to Wales.... bring it on!
Somewhat of a p*ss-take...... Simply money and the whole cause of the BS in the first place. Rugby Union needs to get away from this.
French Federation President Pierre Camou has requested the postponed Six Nations clash with Ireland be rescheduled for next season!
France's squad announcement on Tuesday had a twist in the tail when Camou, France's representative on the Six Nations Commitee Jacques Laurans and FFR Treasurer René Hourquet addressed the gathered press.
The French rugby chiefs insist that playing the fixture this season would cause a number of problems as it would clash with their domestic league but Camou admitted that he doubts their request to play the game in September will be given much consideration.
"We're in a very unusual year that has already seen a long series of fixture clashes because of the World Cup. France wants the match to be played next season due to the scheduling problems presented by the Top 14," he said.
Saturday's game at the Stade de France fell victim to the freezing conditions just minutes before kick-off.
The Six Nations organising committee have confirmed that the fixture will "not take place this weekend (February 17/18/19)."
After Tuesday's committee meeting Laurans said that there were two options on the table: Saturday 3 March at 18:00 (local time) or Sunday 4 March at 16:15.
The FFR also announced that ticket holders for original game would be reimbursed if they decided not to use their tickets for the rescheduled match.
Miserable looking tw@t anyway.....

I'm amazed BB I certainly don't like the favourites tag going to Twickenham, but I don't think England are there this year. Beelzebub's XV can't be underestimated however - at home, playing God's own and themselves 2 from 2.
Wales have a sh*te record at "HQ" - I hope this year improves it!! Anyways, all the best for a great game!!
