England have made 10 changes to the side that thumped Italy, one of the changes sees David Sisi - London Irish coming back into the backrow. He's 19 and 6'4 & 18st 12lb.. :ohmy:

www.rfu.com/SquadsAndPlayers/EnglandUnder20s/DavidSisi.aspx

They've also added George Merrick (6'7" & 18st 12lb) & Dominic Barrow (6'7" & 17st 11lb) to the second row alongside a massive front row.

We've a decent enough sized pack but we'll really need to replicate exactly the SA performance to stand a chance. Keep the ball in play, minimise set pieces and shift these huge English feckers around the park as much as possible. But like Monday stay disciplined, tackle any fecker that moves but make sure to keep the penalty count down and stay on the right side of the ref...

Thought that this was a good extract:

"While last Monday's game was taxing on all the players, spare a throught for UCD and Leinster back-row Jordan Coghlan, who will re-sit the Leaving Cert maths paper at a nearby university just hours before the game kicks off.

A special exemption from the State Exams Commission means he will start his exams 30 minutes before everyone else so he can join his team-mates in time for kick-off."

casey lualala will be the starting 13 next season. he has been brought in for that purpose. munster will have a starting backline of howlett/zebo, downey, lualala, earls and jones/hurley.

Marmion reminds me a bit of Tol in his early days.

JJ will be in direct competition with keatley for starting 10 position in pro12 and bench for Hec. only way i see this changing is if downey is brought into irish set up and jj will see time at 12 then but will have to compete with barnes in that situation.

To be frank I'd like to see Hanrahan start a few games at center for Munster probably at 13 as Downey will be given the 12 shirt when he comes but him at 13 could be interesting. Earls has never convinced me in any position except Winger were he is exceptional. I expect JJ to see him make the bench next season on for his sheer versatility. Marmion had a great game as well and would be a player I'd like us to see develop. B&I rugby for the whole year for him please.

Did anyone else watch the South Africa game? Fair play to the U20's what a performance! For me the stand outs were the front row as well as the two out-half's Hanrahan and our own Marmion. I think we might have found an answer to our distribution problem in a year or so.
