Ten Green Bottles Hanging On a Wall

It seems to me every time I go on Planet Rugby or newspaper site another England player will miss start,all 6Ns,all year,RWC etc.
Just like the title,Lancaster says he will pick on form not reputations which is fine if you accept club rugby isn`t test rugby and
make allowances.

Lancaster has a good record v NH sides but indifferent v SH sides but he isn`t alone in that in the NH,as an Anglo-Scot support these
sides except v NZ my first choice side.

Given that 3 home sides have won a RWC,and 5 reached the final,purely on logic IF England win there group theory says they should
reach final.

The 6 Ns is unique among major comps not using bonus points for good/ill how important is winning the 6Ns as a morale booster
for the RWC?>Given no SH side has won 3/4 NS and RWC in the same year?

The 6N is a tournament in its own right. Win that first then worry about the World Cup.
