No, I don't believe it either. England's pre-tournament selection comes under the microscope as St Olly also falls to the injury gremlins. Can this tournament get any worse for England fans? Quite possibly as we are compelled to watch it in all its gloomy misery.
So Faz is now the great white hope at stand off. Actually, make that the bloody great big hope. The man is a good size for a back, but for a fly half, positively leviathan.
As to the other changes, bringing in Sackey for Cueto could be good, but will he ever see the ball? Will it get past our centres this time?
In the pack, I can see why Lawrence was dropped, he was anonymous against the USA, but surely this is the tight (we hope) game where you need his experience. But dropping Worzle for Corry. Doomed. Poor old Donkey Cozza just does not have the pace for 6, and Worsley can at least tackle. Once again, Haskell's omission from the original squad stands out. Here's hoping he gets the call in time for the quarters. (See I can be optimistic.)
Still, I am off out to see if a good meal and a few too many large drinks will brighten the gloom before Friday. I can but hope (hic!).
