Hi there, this is my first post so please go easy on me!

My first selection is for one of the six nations matches staged on Saturday 23rd.

England travel to Saint Dennis on Saturday evening to face what looks like an experimental French fifteen. I expect the game to be a very tight affair most probably decided by who kicks the best, an area were France are sure to miss Jean-Baptiste Elissalde.

Lievremont has once again put faith in youth with an half back partnership of Morgan Para and Francois Trinh-Duc but I feel that it is the pack that will come under the most pressure. England will surely have learnt from their mistakes in the opening two games. The attemtp to play expansive Rugby was found wanting, England just do not

have the backs to play that way, even against moderate opposition. It will be back to basics, the return of Sheridan and Vickery will see to that. Expect a war of attrition; the English pack winning penalties against a French pack that struggled against the Irish forwards. A seven point start should be more than enough!
