Robshaw and Ford to lead inexperienced England

They will pose a threat for sure but they are not at the same level of that Ireland side and i dont think the ABs will be as bad as they were in 2022.

I am looking forward to ABs being far better this year after a first season under Razor. There is a lot of talent in Nz, probably the best pack since 2015, and we are playing at home.

Razor really needs to show an improved level of play, a coherent gameplan (too all over the place last year), make the most of the talent at his disposal and win (a lot!). The pressure is really on this year to be a dominant All Black side. It is time for the ABs to return to the top of the international game and be recognised as such.

France were very impressive in the six nations, after losing to England, and will bring a talented squad. But they could only beat NZ by a point in November (nz really should have won ) and many of those players wont be present.

Can the French come together to present a challenge to the ABs after a long season? Yes, but they could equally lose 3-0 with a blowout in the last test.

Since December 2024, my family and I had been planning the perfect getaway to the Lake District. After years of saving and sacrificing, we decided it was finally time to treat ourselves to a dream vacation. We were planning a trip that would cost us £15,000 in total, a considerable amount that we hoped would create lasting memories. I found an appealing holiday package offered by what seemed like a reputable travel agency online. After reviewing all the details and comparing it to other options, I felt confident and excited, so I went ahead and booked the trip on Valentine's Day, thinking it would be a special gesture for our family. I paid £5,000 as a deposit for what I thought would be the vacation of a lifetime.However, things quickly took a devastating turn. After making the payment, I received a vague email confirmation, but then, all communication stopped altogether. When I tried to get in touch with the agency, their phone lines were disconnected, and their website went offline. It was clear that something wasn’t right. I was in disbelief, but I quickly realized that my family and I had been scammed. The £5,000 I had paid, as part of the larger £15,000 cost, seemed completely lost . As a Marketing Executive, I’m usually quite cautious with online transactions, but in this case, I let my excitement and trust cloud my judgment. The emotional impact of losing such a significant amount of money, especially after planning this vacation for months, was overwhelming. My family was devastated, and I felt deeply betrayed by the fraudulent agency. I didn’t know where to turn for help.That’s when I found Hack Savvy Tech . After reading about their expertise in helping people who had fallen victim to online scams, I decided to reach out. From the very first consultation, they made me feel supported and reassured. The team immediately began investigating the fraudulent travel agency and quickly uncovered a history of scams involving the same company. Hack Savvy Tech guided me through the process of disputing the payment with my bank, Lloyds Bank, providing all the necessary evidence and documentation. They handled everything on my behalf, communicating with the bank and working through all the complexities of the dispute. Their knowledge and dedication were invaluable, and after a few weeks, I was thrilled to find out that they had successfully recovered the full £5,000 I had lost.Not only did I get back the full amount, but Lloyds Bank also provided additional compensation for the stress and inconvenience caused by the scam. Thanks to Hack Savvy Tech, I was able to rebook a legitimate holiday to the Lake District for my family. With the money we recovered, we planned the vacation we had dreamed of, and we made unforgettable memories together.What had started as a heartbreaking experience turned into a joyous and well-deserved family getaway, all thanks to the expertise and support of Hack Savvy Tech.  

Denial is a hilarious thing

what do you mean “if”?

are you suggesting it might have literally not occurred to Borthwick that it would be a good idea to have squad depth?

But take Argentina, their club system is mostly developmental but the national team is doing great.

Fair enough they did have the Jaguares but that is a distant memory these days.

I am just totally against the notion of relegation. Nobody wins. But with expansion everybody wins.

Do one Youngs, you were never rated you plonker.
