Haha number 14 for Ireland looked like he was trying to run to the bathroom asap whilst suffering from a jolt of diarrhoea.
YUS Great result, if an ordinary match. Amazed by how well England recovered after Haskell was binned.
Was weird how Ireland had all the momentum when Haskell got binned yet when he came back on England were ahead by 6.
Wasn't pretty, but did what we needed to. The lack of pace in the backs worries me slightly and the set pieces were sloppy, but impressive recycling at the rucks and generally good discipline, apart from Brand Haskell's sneaky kick.
Parisse banned from the rest of the tournament for slagging off a ref in a club game Bit of a shame that.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/21532526 Hartley for Youngs Lawes for Haskell MANU for Twelvetrees Okay with the last - 36 is only a newb after all and Barritt's done nothing wrong - harsh but fair. Lawes in the back row I've no idea about but I don't rate Haskell at all, so it's worth a go if he's fit. Still want Croft there ideally so using Lawes as cover until then makes sense. Don't really get the Hartley pick though, thought Youngs has impressed so far this comp.
Some tough games this weekend. A useless Wales side away to an ever improving Italian side. England to thrash France, obv. Ireland away to a very confident Scottish side. Mmmmh, who to pick for wins!?
