| They'll need to defend Sinfield wider and Peacock in the middle on that team - defending Peacock out wide will leave him exposed to the footwork of the likes of Slater, Lockyer etc.

Hope so. Think he may have been a little over hyped. Tomkins looks a better prospect IMO.

Unless that article has been changed, I'm not sure where your summary of it comes from?

I'm guessing it's the quote from Smith himself, referring to the week after this as " the final week". Which would imply the tournament finishes for us then.

Quote: Andy Gilder ""It gives us a chance to compare the two and decide which way we go for the final week.'"
Guess he means final week of the group matches?

That's how I read it - obviously not as much of a pessimist as tvoc and Gotcha.

| I really don't understand Smith. He's saying he always intended to play Tomkins this week. Why not decide your best 6 and 7 and settle with them.

Another baffling quote/selection from the national coach.

The New Zealand round robin fixture would not represent the 'final week' if he expected England to be in the final.
The swapping and changing of the scrumhalf in this fixture is another oddball comment. Hasn't he already done that in the Wales and France fixtures?

Why?
Maybe he sees this tourney as a building exercise for the world cup? Maybe he sees Tompkins as being more suited to test rugby than Myler at this point, but wanted to give Myler a game against France to give him more experience...

If this tournament is a training session ahead of the world cup I am glad I haven't wasted any money on tickets.
They should be going all out to win this tournament if they want to restore any credibility in international rugby in this country.
