Jason has been crap all season, we'll still get stuffed, large.

I'm much more confident than last week with this team. Would have gone for Jones at 10 and Cueto on the wing (if only Shanklin was still there - Thomas on the wing and shanks at 13 would have been perfect). Main problem, though is Thompson's throwing, esp with 2 Irish locks - if we can get 60% of that ball we're in with a shout - watch Henson let loose with his massive kicking.

I'm more interested in seeing little Mr Williams run underneath everyone.

Shane Williams - a small man and a giant.
It's a lot better than last week but still some odd decisions. Jason Robinson over Geordan murphy (who plays his club rugby on the wing IIRC)
Thompson has done no better than Byrne, Bulloch has hit his man everytime and doesn't make the bench?
Feel sorry for charlie hodgson, the guy has done nothing wrong. I would have gone for Jones over Wilkinson, simply because he has played with peel and henson a lot more. In terms of performance there is little between the two O/H's.
Dawson on the bench, what must cussiter do?

Win the World Cup with Woodwind - there's a quota of world cup winners that must be in the 22.

Absolutely, sharp, solid, done really well.

The rate they're getting injured at everyone's going to get to play in one of the tests, possibly including Wills and Harry.
