Better game of rugby between Scotland and France.

Italy and Ireland was a rather tedious kicking game.


Just switched on. Defo although I am sure France have faster players, who should be playing R.L.
England likely to stick with the same side as last week.
Let's wait and see what Sat brings!

Wales team for Scotland:

1: Gethin Jenkins 2: Richard Hibbard 3: Aaron Jarvis
4: Jake Ball 5: Alun-Wyn Jones
6: Dan Lydiate 8: Taulupe Faletau 7: Sam Warburton (c)

9: Rhys Webb 10: Dan Biggar
12: Jamie Roberts 13: Jonathan Davies
11:
Liam Williams 15: Leigh Halfpenny 14: Alex Cuthbert


Bench: Scott Baldwin, Paul James, Scott Andrews, Luke Charteris, Justin Tipuric, Mike Phillips, Rhys Priestland, Scott Williams


George North quite rightly left out after Friday's incidents.

France team for Ireland:

1: Eddy Ben Arous 2: Guilhem Guirado 3: Rabah Slimani
4: Pascal Papé 5: Yoann Maestri
6: Bernard Le Roux 8: Damien Chouly 7:
Thierry Dusautoir (c)

9: Rory Kockott 10: Camille Lopez
12: Wesley Fofana 13: Mathieu Bastareaud
11: Teddy Thomas 15: Scott Spedding 14: Yoann Huget


Bench: Benjamin Kayser, Uini Atonio, Vincent Débaty, Romain Taofifenua, Loann Goujon, Morgan Parra, Rémi Talès, Rémi Lamerat


Well I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Italy team for England:

1: Alberto de Marchi 2: Leonardo Ghiraldini 3: Martin Castrogivanni
4: George Biagi 5: Marco Bortolami
6: Francesco Minto 8: Sergio Parisse (c) 7: Mauro Bergamasco

9: Edoardo Gori 10: Kelly Haimona
12:
Andrea Masi 13: Luca Morisi
11: Giovanbattista Venditti 15: Luke McLean 14: Leonardo Sarto


Bench:
Andrea Manici, Matías Agüero, Dario Chistolini, Josh Furno, Samuela Vunisa, Guglielmo Palazzani, Tommaso Allan, Giulio Bisegni.

They've had a bit of a recall of the old blood, but that doesn't meaningfully strengthen the lineup.

Do you mean France team for Ireland and Italy team for England?

Yes I do, that's the danger of copy and paste!
England team for Italy:

1: Joe Marler 2: Dylan Hartley 3: Dan Cole
4: George Kruis 5: Dave Attwood
6: James Haskell 8: Billy Vunipola 7: Chris Robshaw (c)

9: Ben Youngs 10: George Ford
12: Luther Burrell 13: Jonathan Joseph
11: Jonny May 15: Mike Brown 14: Anthony Watson


Bench: Tom Youngs, Mako Vunipola, Kieran Brookes, Nick Easter, Tom Croft, Richard Wigglesworth, Danny Cipriani, Billy Twelvetrees


Unchanged, understandably given last week, and should get a good win this weekend.

Ireland team for France:

1: Jack McGrath 2: Rory Best 3: Mike Ross
4: Devin Toner 5: Paul O'Connell (c)
6: Peter O'Mahony 8: Jamie Heaslip 7: Sean O'Brien

9: Conor Murray 10: Jonny Sexton
12: Robbie Henshaw 13: Jared Payne
11: Simon Zebo 15: Rob Kearney 14: Tommy Bowe


Bench: Sean Cronin, Cian Healy, Martin Moore, Iain Henderson, Jordi Murphy, Isaac Boss, Ian Madigan, Felix Jones

Almost back to full strength now - that team looks dangerous.

Scotland team for Wales:

1: Alasdair Dickinson 2: Ross Ford 3: Geoff Cross
4: Richie Gray 5: Jonny Gray
6: Rob Harley 8: Johnnie Beattie 7: Blair Cowan

9: Greig Laidlaw (c) 10: Finn Russell
12: Alex Dunbar 13: Mark Bennett
11: Tim Visser 15: Stuart Hogg 14: Sean Lamont


Bench: Fraser Brown, Gordon Reid, Jon Welsh, Jim Hamilton, Alasdair Strokosch, Sam Hidalgo-Clyne, Greig Tonks, Matt Scott

I don't think they're capable of beating Wales to be honest - a few of their stars missing now.

---

Also Samson Lee is concussed and out for Wales. Aaron Jarvis comes into the main team for him with Scott Andrews coming onto the bench.
I am supporting Wales. If Wales are not available, then it's Ireland. Cymru am byth. Eire go deo! :smile:
Hope Mike Brown is ok!! Excellent try there :smile:) Jonathan Joseph well done matey..come on Ford!! 🎶 I've got the power...wkd 90s tune.
