It's also a fact that they haven't managed to consistently unleash their backs, nor even to be sure who their first choice centre combination is. That's not digging them out either.

Bearing in mind my usual one-eyed parochialism, I though my post was remarkably fair and nice about everyone.
Yeah ok, you might be right. I'll let you have that one!

Really looking forward to this year's championship. Wales will be strong, Ireland the form team, Scotland improving.
England have Wales away and Ireland away. That is not helpful. I can see us getting a result in Dublin more than Cardiff though although we will be underdogs in both. I can see England, Ireland and Wales all ending with 1 defeat each.
Looking forward to several beers this Friday evening and some good rugby and banter.
