England’s Three Steps to Rugby Heaven ?


      1.       They must kick their goals, so Owen Farrell must play, and at 10.  Sorry, Mr Flood, but that cop out moment at the death against the Sarries has put you back in the queue. 

      2.       Tuilagi must play. England are so bereft of go forward that they are depending on charge downs to score tries. They’ll need more than that against the Welsh, who on current form WILL cross the whitewash. So another apology – this time to Brad Barritt. The Sarries hard man has shown that he is no soft centre, but in attack this England back line look about as likely to score as Nick Clegg at a party at your local Student Union.

3.       Win the battle in the air – catch and return the kicks with interest, Mr Foden, and mess up the Welsh line out, Mr Croft, and your boys may stand a chance. If you’re still in the game at the hour mark, Farrell’s boot may see you exploiting home advantage.
