I can kind of live with it, except that bloody back row and Sheridan.
I appreciate there are injuries, but that just makes the decision to
drop Lund look like a very very bad one.

I dunno. Looks pretty good to me. An interesting mix of the old, the
new and the would-never-have-made-it-four-years-ago. I like Sheridan,
if nothing else he takes some stopping which ties players up.

Reading somewhere (BA in the England Rugby Yearbook?) that the half
backs don't have time in the modern game to see what's going on and so
having Andy Farrell, who is used to directing play, is a plus. I
still think he's going to do the business.

Cheers
