England team to face France:
England: Malins; Watson, Slade, Farrell, May; Ford, Youngs; M Vunipola, Cowan-Dickie, Sinckler, Itoje, Ewels, Wilson, Curry, B Vunipola.
Replacements: George, Genge, Stuart, Hill, Earl, Robson, Lawrence, Daly
Good to see Malins get a start at Fullback because 1) He has been lighting it up in the Premiership for Bristol and 2) Daly has proved that he is not a Fullback's arse, good player though he is.
I worry about Farrell who has looked short of a gallop and whether Billy V can bring the same tempo two games running. Wilson needs to get that bit of dog back too - he was anonymous v Scotland. I might have been tempted to go with Earl as a starter instead. God we miss Underhill.
I think this is a game that may be beyond us, I would be happy with just a performance, which is pretty damning in itself.
Oh and penalties in single figures please.

Is that 936 caps in the starting Wales team? That's some serious experience a couple of years out from the world cup.
If AWL retires that will go down a bit.
If loads of others leave or retire it will go down even more!

Italy are becoming a bit of an embarrassment in the 6Ns. More out of their depth year on year these days rather than the plucky underdog of past tournaments.
Feel sorry for their obviously talented players like Garbisi

Someone should introduce Josh Adams to Reiko Ioane...

Wales have played well.
Minimal mistakes has been impressive

If only Ioane saved his lazy/cool judgement lapse for when the ABs are 30 points up on the weak opposition.

It's weird isn't it, everybody ranting about the youth coming through and their successful U20 side and yet they seem to be doing worse than ever - despite showing glimpses of really being able to play.
Missing the crowds?
