Yes fingers crossed indeed.

I'm hoping to some new talent and combinations on show, but still expect most of the big names in Japan

Not a NH player but one to watch is Herschel Jantjies (South Africa).

In the Rugby Championship he scored 2 tries on his debut 2 weeks ago against Australia (which South Africa won) and last week scored a late try against New Zealand to earn a draw.

The right place

I’m not sure how much we’ll learn from these matches. There’s bound to be a lot of changes in the second half.

But as you say OP, let’s hope no one gets injured.

I don't think we'll see a 100% match necessarily, but these two always go at each other hard. Endland v Wales at HQ is always a special one

One of the most boring games I’ve ever watched, but a win.

Hopefully Joey Carberys injury isn’t too bad, he looked in fantastic form yesterday up to that point.

I think Wales might have been under prepared or simply expected to win again. They've had a good run of wins and I think teams can sometimes get over confident.

There is growing concern of GTs tactics. high speed attack, but most definitely at the cost of solid defence. Under Vern they appeared to be on track with both.

I wonder if he is losing the dressing room .. or maybe I’m just reading too much in to the six nations eng v sco half time incident .

Let’s see what they do at home, not that that’s helpful as the rwc they won’t have that luxury.

Interestingly though you look at England v Wales - England dominant, wales nowhere . This week - England lost, wales good again .

Only positive thing as you say - no injury, although I was disappointed to see Barclay knackered after first half .

That right there is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Who do people assume that all ladies watch rugby for perving?!

I actually adore the game and was raised in a family where we ate, breathed and slept rugby.

Most of the ladies I know that follow rugby regard it as a perk of the sport so to speak, so not so much of an assumption as an opinion based on my real life experience.

But hey, not everyone, no offence meant, hope you enjoy the game

Rugby is such a strange sport in relation to warm up games....

With such a physical game, the danger of injury through going to hard or not beong pyhisical enough and the lack of other teams to play it adds such an interesting dynamic you dont get in football warm up games
