England is under threat of invasion... and though we be on the far side of the world... this ship is our home. This ship, is ENGLAND. So it's every hand to his rope or gun, quick's the word and sharp's the action. After all... surprise is on our side.
HUZZAH !!! HUZZAH !!!

This is a bit rich coming from someone who has been crying for months because we wouldn't let them govern us. If Sold was at Waterloo he'd have been giving our cannon to the frogs.

Not really true but I'll make a exception. Yes Rollo and the founders were Norse but I don't think they settled much rather than ruled. hence taking on their language.
But we won't count it.

Even with all our injuries, we should still have too much for them.

Looking forward to this. On paper it looks to be the most interesting 6 nations for some years.
At some point the French are going to stop being shit, let's just hope it's not tomorrow. They've gone with a massive pack and some ridiculous pace out wide. Not convinced by their kicking game, though, which may make a big difference.
What's impressive about England is that, despite all the injuries, Jones is still able to pick what looks a very strong side. Not sure who else has that strength in depth ?
It'll be interesting to see how Maro goes on the flank and Daly on the wing. I expect England to win but there's a risk in picking two in the front row who haven't played in god knows how long.
