They have done well but this is the pummelling - 62-0

I spoke too soon.

Some surprising selections for Wales, trying to counter-act the Aussies. Interesting.

Thoughful team selection, adding extra speed in the back row and in the centre with North.

Not sure about the full back and wings though. Combining Warburton, Fauletau and Tipuric is clearly targeting the area where Australia had such success against England. The breakdown is clearly going to be the key area. Roberts and North in the centres could be rather bruising.

Nick Mallett allegedly been approached for Lancaster's job. Brian Moore not happy - although if true has a point.

It this is true, disgraceful -gu.com/p/4d6ff/stw
Yet another leak; pre-judges review & no way to treat Lancaster; an honest, decent man

Shocking if true. At least wait until after Saturday.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Seems a bit shoddy. It's not like the middle of a football season where you have to appoint someone now, there are months until our next game once the curtain falls tomorrow. Lancaster is a good guy, I would let him go but he deserves respect and courtesy.

 

[Donegal Wolf]

It is shoddy, this campaign there have been far to many leaks from someone in the camp

Its obviously a load of bollocks. More likely to be Timmy Mallet.

As it came straight from Mallett's mouth and the England camp is a fucking collander I call it more likely true than bollocks.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion, I'll stick to mine.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Why would Mallender himself claim to have been approached if he hadn't?

Has he said this or is it just more media shit stirring?

 

[leedswolf]

Great, there's some proper stuff on Sky this evening.

If you mean Mallett, probably because he wants to promote himself in his present media career, or he lives in La-La land, or he's a liar, or all three.

Network Rail say extra trains will be deployed to cope with Leeds Rhinos fans travelling across the Pennines for the Super league final.

 

[leedswolf]

It's a sellout. C'mon Wigan!

Good luck today to Scotland and Wales and tomorrow to Ireland.

I also hope England's match goes well and the players give us a good send off from the World Cup.
We need to start preparing for the Six Nations next and the dreaded review.
