Daly on course to face Ireland

England’s Elliot Daly

Steve Borthwick has revealed that Elliot Daly is on course to play when England attempt to make history by beating Ireland in the Six Nations on Saturday.

Daly was unable to continue as a result of Fraser Brown’s tip-tackle early in a 61-21 drubbing of Scotland last weekend, which sealed back-to-back titles for Eddie Jones’ men.

The versatile Wasps man was retained in the squad and has been undergoing the return-to-play protocol ahead of the trip to Dublin.

And, according to England forwards coach Borthwick, Daly is on track to feature when England attempt to claim a record-breaking 19th consecutive victory.

“Elliot is progressing really well through the return-to-play protocols. He’s gone through every stage really well so far,” Borthwick said on Wednesday.

“He has a contact session [on Wednesday] afternoon and then it’s team training [on Thursday].”

Massive fan of DMac but I feel he’s more impact these days

He will have guys like Lood and Eben trying to rough him up soon but he’s looked great

I think he’s up for it

Massive engine and some nice touches too

At times he’s jumping without a lifter!

All Blacks player ratings vs France | Lipovitan-D July Series 3rd Test

McKenzie just seems indecisive whenever he gets the ball currently

I’m a big fan but he seems cluttered

He played very well against Ireland but otherwise has played competently last season at 10

Beauden has many knockers but is never flustered

Anyway I look forward to the development in time of Love and Reihana

Yeah not good enough

I do think it was a case of being too emotional


TBF Ardie dropped a ball and did an explicable kick too which led to points

But as usual from then on he was fantastic

‘Should have won by 30’: Campese slams Wallabies before second Lions Test

Not a great match

Wherever it was the Lions dropping off or the Aussies showing some late fight


Not sure of Schmidts selections

Still can’t understand why guys like JOC or Samu were not considered for such an occasion

Fair play to Lynagh but he needed more game time


Yes they should improve with Skelton (still a bit cumbersome) and the amazing Valetini but that’s just two players


Yes there was some great impact but Jake Gordon is cumbersome too

Tate should start (you could see a clear difference) and perhaps White or Lonergan to come on - the latter is snappy


Tizano is better over the ball so start him with Valetini at 8 and Hooper 6

Sorry Wilson is too vanilla for me

Hooper to come on

The bench front rowers did well and were better than the starters so stay as is

I would have Skelton empty the tank for 50

They weren’t hard executions at all, both quite passive infringements. Go watch, you’ll see what I mean. Gus even waved him back on the offside one. Unbelievable.

Lions vs Wallabies takes: Curry in red hot form, Suaalii suffocated

Yeah, it was a curious out turn for a match that was as one sided as anyone could have expected in the first half wasn’t it? I mean a great comeback is something we all love but Aussie weren’t exactly that either, were they? Curious indeed…

‘Should have won by 30’: Campese slams Wallabies before second Lions Test

The whole tour thus far, including the 1st test has been mediocre, both in the quality of rugby played by the lions, and the quality of opposition they have faced.

Lions vs Wallabies takes: Curry in red hot form, Suaalii suffocated

“Half thoughts”. Are you serious? Yes, that’s exactly what we all expect from a Test referee in the key moments isn’t it? So he had the best view in the house and initially called try. Whether you see it as crawling (the legs were going that way) or being pulled, it wasn’t a try, period. Then he was about to award the try until his team told him not to. Then he was about to card Earl until his TMO sliced him at the knees. Oh and has he even heard that entering rucks from the side isn’t legal? Then ofc there’s the Aussie that fell off the tackle as the player slid away from him but no, that’s not a try, except it’s given on every other occasion you see that happening. The guy was a joke and delighted he won’t be anywhere near the whistle again for this series.

All Blacks anxiously wait for scans on latest injuries

Hopefully the injury ward is much reduced by the time we come up against the auld foe springboks. We need our top team against them. It seems modern rugby now causes more injuries than of yore. What is the injury situation for the Boks ?? Aussie & Argentina seem to have their own problems with injuries too.

Not at all . JSA were the better team throughout this match as they were throughout the tournament. They played sound 15 man rugby and profited from it.
