    Very hard game for us, i cant see us winning but at least borthwick is out! how sad is that happy when your captain in injured!

    The key to beating these guys is gettting on top straight away and being ruthless, the All Blacks did this in France last year and the french went into there shells, quick ball and put the pressure on them out in there three quarters, they defence was flimsy out wide. But hey looking at our performance last week just getting the ball to the winger would be a massive step forward

    Commenting on his selection, Johnson said ‘There were plenty of positives to take away from Murrayfield and we’ve watched the tape and found the best way forward.

    ‘We’ve been very pleased with the game-plan and we’re clearly progressing in a direction which is best for England rugby.

    That’s right Martin, backwards

    @horiman: odd statement that is’nt it. I didn’t watch the game(against Scotland) but the result speaks to an England in serious trouble if you ask me.

    @carol: hullo Carol. Thanks for the pickies. Meant to send you a mail but was a tad busy yesterday. Don’t have much time to visit Keo very often either. :(

    and this England team has an unfamiliar look about it. Or is that just me not keeping pace with the 6 Nations of late?

    Surprised that they have not pulled Big Dal back in!
