Safety first and nothing to quicken the pulse...

England: Mike Brown, Anthony Watson, Jonathan Joseph, Owen Farrell, Jack Nowell, George Ford, Danny Care; Joe Marler, Dylan Hartley (captain), Dan Cole, Joe Launchbury, George Kruis, Chris Robshaw, James Haskell and Billy Vunipola.
Replacements: Jamie George, Mako Vunipola, Paul Hill, Courtney Lawes, Jack Clifford, Ben Youngs, Alex Goode and Ollie Devoto.
Fucking hell it's like Lancaster is still in charge??
Anyone see Danny Cips again last week?? Or Itoje's MotM performance for Sarries?? Or Josh Beaumont ripping the place up?? Or Sam James at Sale running the show... Obviously not the Aussie in charge... advantage the Jocks

I think he needs this first win under the belt to take the pressure off and will blood them against Italy.
But fuck me, that's an uninspiring team

I see England qualified for this then, that's commendable.

He can do it Panch... and maybe he can do it against Scotland... but when it comes to the big 3 he'll be spat out like a kid... would rather Fraser and Ksevic be given a go ... at least they are 7's in the modern role... we all want Hoopers and McCaw's... and Haskell ain't that .

Re: Six Nations

One thing I cannot grumble about is Robshaw... easiest thing to do would be to drop him but fair play he has gone back after the RWC to play 6 and he has not put a foot wrong... seen a fair bit of Quins this year and he has been mustard... he is there as I have not seen a better English 6 this season.. still got me grumblings at 10... Ford been way off the pace this season and the Jocks will target him big time... sticking Farrell at centre is just a safety net for Ford... which seems mental to me...

In Haskell's defence, he is a better 7 than Robshaw, but he ain't a 7.
A shame Tom Ree's retired through injury, would have been the best 7 out there.

Yeah he was superb Scum.... had some of the worse luck for injuries I have ever known... his style is perfectly suited to modern Rugby

Re: Six Nations

Seems a very safe selection.
Surely this was the time to go big?
Or maybe he didn't feel there was much wrong with the selection before - just a bit of tinkering and man management.
England have good players - it was shocking they didn't do more at the WC...

He is under pressure after 0 games?

Re: Six Nations

First game against a side that rarely trouble us, so yeah, he's under pressure after a shocking World Cup.

Re: Six Nations

A team that is much improved and would have been in the World Cup final but for a refereeing error.
He doesn't have much of a Six Nations record to beat though does he?
One win in 12 years is it

Is Armitage never gonna get a game again so long as he's playing in France?
I'm not the biggest rugby fan, but I like watching England obviously and it seems they may as well get Hodgson to pick the team, as he doesn't select players by form either.

Armitage is being overrated, not picking him is not the problem.
How the fuck Elliot Daly isn't in there, I'll never know. I thought we'd keep Rugby sacred and not go foreign, I'm fucking gutted this cunt is in charge, but that's gone 10 fold after this announcement.

Obviously Grumps... as he has picked Ford at 10 who all season has been as flaky as newly cooked sausage roll at Greggs...
