    Should be interesting to see if it is indeed possible to polish a turd.

    Went along to the fan zone tonight to watch the all-blacks game and got to say they've done a great job with it. I only went along so I could buy my son a programme cos he lives in New Zealand, but pleased I did. Love seeing the city full of people from all over the world in party mood. Wondering now whether to don my kilt and Scotland top for tomorrow. I grew up in Scotland but was born here so have never managed to support them yet - might make an exception tomorrow!

    Was at the game tonight and in the fanzone on Saturday both brilliant experiences but think Saturday was probably the better of the two days. Still would advertise it to anyone thinking about going there tomorrow.

    Totally agree. The atmosphere tomorrow should be amazing. Are you going tomorrow?

    Why do England have the same debate every 5 years...? Do we want a fly-half who can kick penalties, or one who apparently is some kind of wizard in open play (but never seems to manage it at International level)...

    Erm... Let's see...

    George Ford had 2 kicks at goal today that genuinely threatened the corner flag... Pick him for the 6 nations and we might as well not bother turning up

    His open play was fairly poor too, given the the level of the opposition. He looks out of his depth in an England shirt.

    Some great signs for the strength of our backs in future years though. Some really exciting players.

    But our back row forwards are not international class though and thag is where thd games are breng won/lost.
    - Haskell is past it. Too slow both mentally and physically.
    - We should not still be relying on Easter.
    - Robshaw just does not win as much ball as any of his counterparts in the top 10 nations.
    - Billy Vunipola is a beast but lacks discipline and is injured too often.
    - Morgan is decent but often injured and rarely lasts 80 minutes.

    All the top teams have an immensenback row to fear. We dofnot.
