Rds1983 Posted March 1, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2016 He might not make the match day squad and he is just there to help him back into the swing of things as its even over a year since his last cap. Doubtful but a possibility. Hopefully Daly doesn't get dropped to make way for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnbull Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 D'oh, I was hoping he'd miss the Tigers game at the Ricoh next week! Still think Wasps will have enough to beat them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Tuilagi back in the match day squad, replacing Goode, meaning that Daly stays! Yes yes yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted March 11, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2016 It's not often I get tickets, despite living a quarter of a mile from Twickenham stadium but I'm really rather underwhelmed at the prospect of going to the game tomorrow. Hope it surprises me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted March 11, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2016 Holy crap, I've just looked on viagogo to see how much my tickets are going for. If you want to match their £900 each price, PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Holy shit! That's insane. I always wonder who has enough spare money lying around that they can spend that sort of cash on an 80-minute sports game... Out of interest, as a local, do you know if they're doing that stupid thing where they close all the local pubs at about 8 on a match day? Thing we may have talked about this before...

I can just about see someone doing it for a really meaningful game like a WC final or something of that nature. But the 4th Six Nations game of 5 which comes around every other year? I agree. It's insane that the price gets anywhere near that level. And that has nothing to do with my almost complete indifference towards the sport of 'jogging diagonally towards your opponent'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the online asking price. I can't imagine anyone would pay that much for the seats. I'd imagine they remain unsold or are hawked on the day outside the ground for a fraction of that price. As for the pub curfew, it was lifted about a week into the World Cup, huge climb-down by the police and lots of apologies. I'd be amazed if they reintroduced it again now and can't find any reference to it online. Edited March 11, 2016 by choffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Cool, cheers. Yeah the overreaction by the police was ridiculous. They've still managed to ruin the sevens this year, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) This is the type of game England have blew in the past. Big marker out if they beat Wales Edited March 12, 2016 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at the Ricoh for Wasps-Tigers today, another batch of decent tries for the collection from the home side. In the fan village afterwards for the England game. Great atmosphere and a fantastic performance for 70 mins. The less said about the final 10, the better. Fair play to the Welsh for coming so close though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Very pleased with the Grand Slam. I thought England's locks were immense (though maybe not at the scrum). The lineout steals were often crucial and Itoje was really good at the breakdown again. Also , Robshaw and Haskell did really well. Having doubts about Mike Brown. I wouldn't be surprised if Watson gets moved to 15 at some point and someone else gets brought in on the wing. Very good start for Mr Jones.

Well that's NH bragging rights won for a year anyway, for me the hard work and big decisions start now for EJ. He's done it with what was basically Lancaster's team, so he'll be having to make changes to stamp his mark on the job. The Ford/Farrell issue for one, I'd have Faz back at 10 and play a proper 12/13 there. I'd have Daly, but then I'm biased. With players like Josh Beaumont et al coming through, the future looks pretty good for England rugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
