 To the top with this one

 Mike Brown will be back, he's recovered from concussion.Brad Barritt was going to start ( ??? ) for Burrell, but he sustained a badly sprained ankle on Sunday, so is out of the rest of the 6 Nations.Tom Croft won't be on the bench as he dislocated his shoulder and is out for the remainder, as is Henry Thomas, so his place on the bench will be altered too.
The Squad will be somewhat changed.

 Wales are unchanged for the Ireland match.

England keeps wanting average players like Barritt in their side...when is that fool of a coach going to wake up?

 Thanks Rooinek -  France Updated

 ..Can Italy beat France this weekend...Don't think the French play all that good away from home do they ???....Yet the French are heavy favourites at the TAB...Tried to swap Fofana for another French centre but none are listed as available options on Superbru except Basteurd on the bench...that Fijian winger could just be worth having though....Haimona also could make things difficult for the French..
