As long as it's not more surgery on the same bit of his arm, he should be ok.

That's some enticing stuff right there. Back in school a younger girl drew anime depictions of our team and passed them on to us all. Obviously I kept mine. Never thought anime and rugby would catch on but apparently she was a visionary.

In actual rugby news Jared Payne might be out so we could finally see McCloskey and Henshaw play together!

Or more Keith Earls.

How McCloskey hasn't been picked already is a mystery to me. he's basically the Irish version of Jamie Roberts but he can also occasionally pass the ball.

Scotland team to face Italy

1. Al Dickinson
2. Ross Ford
3. WP Nel
4. Richie Gray
5. Jonny Gray
6. John Barclay
7. John Hardie
8. Dave Denton
9. Greig Laidlaw
10. Finn Russell
11. Tim Visser
12. Duncan Taylor

17. Rory Sutherland
18. Moray Low
19. Tim Swinson
20. Ryan Wilson
21. Sam Hidalgo-Clyne
22. Peter Horne
23. Sean Lamont

Not a bad side though the bench isn't great other than Peter Horne. If they play to their potential they should be Italy but Scotland are good at making GBS threads it up, especially when they're the favourites.

Ireland team to play England - Saturday 27th February, 2016 RBS 6 Nations Championship:
15. Rob Kearney (UCD / Leinster)
14. Andrew Trimble (Ballymena / Ulster)
13. Robbie Henshaw (Buccaneers / Connacht)
12. Stuart McCloskey (Ballynahinch / Ulster) 
11. Keith Earls (Young Munster / Munster) 
10. Jonathan Sexton (St. Mary's College / Leinster) 
9. Conor Murray (Garryowen / Munster)
1. Jack McGrath (St. Mary's College / Leinster)
2. Rory Best (Banbridge / Ulster) (c) 
3. Mike Ross (Clontarf / Leinster) 
4. Donnacha Ryan (Shannon / Munster) 
5. Devin Toner (Lansdowne / Leinster) 
6. CJ Stander (Munster)
7. Josh van der Flier (UCD / Leinster) 
8. Jamie Heaslip (Dublin University / Leinster) (vc) 

Replacements
16. Richard Strauss (Old Wesley / Leinster) 
17. Cian Healy (Clontarf / Leinster) 
18. Nathan White (Connacht) 
19. Ultane Dillane (Corinthians / Connacht) 
20. Rhys Ruddock (St Mary's College / Leinster) 
21. Eoin Reddan (Old Crescent / Leinster) 
22. Ian Madigan (Blackrock College / Leinster)
23. Simon Zebo (Cork Con / Munster)

Finally confirmed we get McCloskey and Henshaw, excited to see if van der Flier can make the jump to Test level. For how badly affected this Irish squad is by injury I reckon it'll be tight. As always it depends on how Sexton plays and if the forwards can be competitive.

Ire Vs Eng is gonna be fascinating this weekend.

I hope Ireland find some form and make a game of it otherwise they could be in for a long afternoon. Could be a perfect game for some of their newer players to find their feet.

This seems overly pessimistic? Surely even with the injuries Ireland are still favourites, on account of no-one really knowing if England are actually any good or not?

The statement from Jones on Sexton read like "That's a nice fly half you've got there. It'd be a shame if something were to happen to it."

Canna is injured and Kelly Haimona is playing 10 for Italy. Scotland might actually win.

If Jones was serious about that he'd be starting Lawes.

Italy would be better off with another forward in place of Haimona. He's like a combination of the worst attributes of Priestland and Phil Godman.

I honestly was just trying to remember the last time I genuinely looked forward to a Wales match without a creeping sense of dread and trepidation and ironically the last time was when we got knocked out of the World Cup by France. Yup that game couldn't come quick enough.

I for one look forward to lots of tries and even more terrible tackling. It's going to be good times.

The 'Tahs will probably be getting Naiyarovoro back next season so that's something to look forward to.
