WTF? ******* undeserved ******** self ***** satis ****** faction? They've lost a total of two games in the last two World Cups, whilst certain other under-achieving nations have been taking the plane home right after the first serious questions are asked.
Ahem.
On the Chabal point, us Sale fans are quietly pleased that he will be available for his club rather than getting splinters in his butt watching France. I do take the point about him not being the biggest No8 out there, but he's quick and mobile and knows where the try line is. I think he carries a bit of an aura as well, he puts the wind up people.
England had a decent world cup and they should be able to build on that, but France et al came unstuck so should not be as settled. I do think Scotland will have their best 6 Nations for a long while though, so would like to take a look at the fixtures because they will be hard to beat at home.
