England Vs Ireland

Ford makes the bench huzzah.

Some bug going around the Ireland camp, doesn't sound a bad one. BOD reported a little sick, but expected to be fine by Thursday. Doubt anyone will panic about BOD missing a little training.

Ford has finally arrived.

I've tipped all week that England to win by 15+ and nothing has changed my mind to think it. I also don't go back on a bet....

Ford given time and space behind that pack will cause havoc.

I'll be the first to start it off.

Cock on blocks England to win by around 18-20 pts, the team is gelling well and the performance is a natural now. Sooner or later this will be the normal standard they will play at, which is encouraging.

From an england point of view a good cameo from Ford would be nice, Burrell to stand up to the irish centres would be a big positive for me.

Elsewhere, a nice cameo off the bench from Thomas and solid work from Wilson is required. Care to be his usual spectacular self. If the pitch is in good nick and it's dry, England "could" run riot potentially.

I may be over stepping the mark and a bit over confident in england's ability currently, but the potential is in the side for them to be very dominant now at all. Need to be awake from the first minute.
