Wales vs England Six Nations thread

So Jones has selected a backwards team. The same 15 who got
smashed by Scotland.
I personally cannot believe LCD has been dropped, I thought we
would need his physicality. Also how Ben Youngs can just keep on
getting picked at 9, it really take the biscuit.
Dan Robson looked so good when he came on against Italy. He must
feel like he is just hitting a Ben Youngs sized brick wall.
I always want England to win, however Jones needs a wake up
call. England need to evolve, not just play the same tried and
tested players and combinations.

Atrocious. I’m English but I hope we get a good tonking. This
rewarding failure with selection is going to have an impact on
our WC team, because by then even an idiot would work out the
squad needs changing and further delay is going be a huge
hinderance

It's not the same team that lost to Scotland.
It still has the same weaknesses in the back 3 and George and
Billy need to put their Lions credentials on display, but there
are four crucial changes to the Scotland team that I believe
will make a big difference against Wales if they can all stay on
the pitch:
- Mako at 1
- Sinckler at 3
- Ford at 10
- Wilson at 6
i.e. England have around 4x the creativity in attack that they
had vs Scotland and a proper flanker on the flanks.
It's not the most inspired team but if they can keep Wales' best
player (Mr. R Card (2 caps in this 6 Nations)) off the pitch and
avoid Daly being peppered with high balls then I think they have
enough to beat a Welsh team that is typically hard to beat but
has really needed the extra man to win its previous two matches.

I was listening to the BBC podcast and they were suggesting that
Rees-Zammit might get targeted with high balls, as it's an area
of weakness. If I was Wales I'd be doing the exact same thing to
Daly. Also just generally running at him

It is rank stupidity to continue to select players who are rusty
because of lack of game time and out of form as well.To make it
worse a 19 year old on the bench when you have dozens of players
more experienced for an away game in Cardiff.Utter madness. But
then when you pick a 27 year old coach from Jersey nothing
should surprise.
Biden and Jones in terms of connection with reality have much in
common.
Lose the next 3 and Jones should be required to resign.

As a Guernseyman (where Guernsey v Jersey rivalry makes England
v Wales look like a primary school arm wrestle), I completely
agree.

Not happy with this selection but can't hope for a thrashing
just can't do it. Daly should be know where near this team and
how can he be getting a 50 cap, I can hardly remember a good
game, how does his career compare to North who is getting his
100th cap. He is a great player, Daly must be one of the poorest
player to get 50 caps

Sorry my bad. I should have written almost the same team.
I was seething writing it. So disappointed in Jones. Even a good
win will not please me now! Such negative backwards selections

Would've been better if we'd been called off like the France v
Scotland game has been

At least then
we wouldn't have to endure what will no doubt be a very long,
turgid game...

I totally disagree with this. He has been great for England,
especially at wing. At full back, he is a more modern type of
full back, not the defensive type like brown but offering a big
left foot, and pace (as shown on many occasions, especially at
the principality when he skinned Alex Cuthburt to win the game).
I wish he would get a game at 13. He is the best 13 in the
country and I am not sure that Slade is convincing me at that
position. We need someone with real gas, like Daly.
