Talk about mountain out of a molehill - do you really think it's anything more than a simple mistake

Unfortunately the system does not alter the title of every post. If people reply to #64 the new title will be taken forward, but otherwise ....
 
Why is owen farrell in the squad as a ten? he doesnt even play there for England? or is he there as a multi position option?

I had been looking forward to the lions tour, and i will probably still watch it, but this short sighted selection has left me cold and not that bothered.. will i get up at 5AM to watch live now? probably not, thank you SkyQ, i will watch at my leisure and fast forward the tosh (so i should be in front of the TV for about 8 minutes a match then!)

Massive loss, Stander is a more than able ball carrying 8 but losing BV is huge. Haskell isn't a direct replacement as he's a 6 but he will add beef to the back row. I can't help but feel a bulky back row isnt the answer to the AB's and would much prefer us with a mobile traditional openside like Tipuric starting in the tests.

Faletau, when fit and in form, is world class. The question is, will he be fully fit and in form!
