I guess week 1 was really NZ v Japan last week, but somehow I don't think that really counts.

Ran out of puff at the end of the NPC so haven't been posting much, but lets have a thread to discuss this weekend's matches.

Selection is capital h Hard. Balancing experience with on-form with team cohesion with defensive roles is what head coaches get the big bucks for. And this England team are anti-rugby currently. Could well be he picked for the grind and he did get the result

I watched the 2nd half of the Munster vs AB XV and it was a cracker. I'd have watched the whole thing but I got times wrong and didn't realise it was clashing with the Fiji vs Scotland game I was also trying to watch.
