Thierry Dusautoir.

In fairness to him he did have a solid enough game, although he may well have got it by process of elimination.

scanning the best forwards, Parisse, Robshaw, AWJ, Dusatoir, Vunipola, Furno, Faletau, Warburton, Maestri

lot of locks (surprising) and skippers in there, wish I hadnt abandoned my policy of always picking all the captains in the pack
only surprises in there are Maestri as hes always subbed normally and Vunipola playing 80 mins every time

England don't have another number 8 with Morgan's injury which explains Vunipola.

All except AWJ and Maestri have featured for my team. Thank heavens for the forwards because my backs have been woejous.

But as second row cover because they had run out of locks. As soon as they got a spare lock fit again he was dropped.

Between Easter's ballast in the scrum and Croft's line out ability they had two halves of a lock on the bench then :lol:

3 sides need to score big this weekend, should be plenty of trys about.

North and Bowe haven't done much this championship so I'm backing both of them to put that right this weekend.

Best possible (and realistic) team so far would be

Vunipola 17
Dusatoir 16
Maestri 16
Furno 15
Parisse 19
AW J 16
Warburton/Faletau 15
Gray 12

Murray 23
Ford 34 (not kicker)

Jospeph 36
Henshaw 22
Bennet 21
Halfpenny 31 (DK)
Hogg 17

293 points

only 2 Irish make it, 2 Scottish backs kidn of reflects low try scoring rates, only Joseph, Bennet and Morisi scored more than one try
