00:00 - 00:03 | Fiji will bring a physical game |
00:04 - 00:05 | Wales are going to put up a fight at Twickenham |
00:05 - 00:07 | And Australia can never be written off in a World Cup |
00:08 - 00:12 | Looking at Pool A |
00:12 - 00:15 | England could struggle to make it out of their group |
00:17 - 00:19 | Don't worry, with Dave Ewers, Matt Kvesic, James Haskell and our fine selection of back rows |
00:19 - 00:21 | We can win any game |
00:24 - 00:26 | My Fuhrer |
00:27 - 00:28 | The thing is |
00:31 - 00:33 | Stuart Lancaster is expected to select Sam Burgess for the squad |
00:34 - 00:36 | Ahead of other more talented union players |
00:53 - 00:58 | Anyone who thinks that Brad Barritt is an exciting player, leave the room |
01:13 - 01:15 | Sam Burgess for England! |
01:15 - 01:17 | He has barely played the sport |
01:18 - 01:23 | 'Slammin' Sam' he may be in rugby league |
01:25 - 01:28 | But there is slightly more skill in our game |
01:29 - 01:31 | Like rucks, mauls and scrums |
01:31 - 01:34 | You cannot simply pick a player on the basis he has 'told Lancaster he is ready for England' |
01:34 - 01:37 | And the novelty that Jason Robinson too was a league convert |
01:37 - 01:40 | Look at Joel Tomkins and see how that worked out |
01:40 - 01:42 | My Fuhrer he can also provide cover for the centres |
01:42 - 01:46 | That's what we have centres for, remember Manu Tuilagi? |
01:46 - 01:48 | It would free up more space on the bench for backs |
01:48 - 01:52 | To be wasted on someone like Alex Goode? No chance! |
01:53 - 01:54 | Why does Stuart Lancaster promote a regime that selects based on form |
01:56 - 01:57 | Then give a position in the squad to a player who has no experience or form |
01:57 - 02:00 | When there are young men like Dave Ewers and Matt Kvesic who could genuinely bring something to the team |
02:00 - 02:03 | Other than pointless media attention |
02:04 - 02:08 | He has only played a couple of games at 6 for Bath for heavens sake |
02:08 - 02:13 | This is not child's play |
02:14 - 02:16 | I cannot take losing to Wales again |
02:17 - 02:21 | Purely because of the look on Jiffy's face |
02:27 - 02:29 | I thought Stuart Lancaster was sensible |
02:30 - 02:34 | And boring, but reliable to pick a team that deserved their places |
02:34 - 02:36 | Proud to wear the red rose |
02:41 - 02:42 | I have given up on his coaching |
02:43 - 02:47 | This is even worse than the choice of Jack Nowell over Jonny May |
02:48 - 02:53 | Not everyone can score a try like that against New Zealand |
02:54 - 02:56 | To be dropped to play against Scotland |
02:56 - 02:59 | Then when we need a strong points difference against France to win the Six Nations |
03:00 - 03:02 | And now a forward who does not know how to ruck or maul? |
03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry, you'll still get to check out George Ford |
03:14 - 03:16 | With an ethos like this |
03:19 - 03:23 | We are going to be eaten alive by sides like Australia |
03:25 - 03:26 | I am glad we will not have to face the All Blacks |
03:31 - 03:33 | Kieran Read would flatten George Ford and Sam Burgess in one move |
03:40 - 03:46 | At least we might have Ben Morgan to come off the bench and rampage through their defences |
03:46 - 03:49 | There is one last option... |
03:53 - 03:56 | Call Nick Easter. |
