Paolo Garbisi injured… off for what might be a head assessment.

Hope he is ok that would be a pity if it rules him out so early in the tournament, Canna will just have to step up, seems weird to be saying that of the more experienced player

Garbisi looks like he has talent…

@ grootblousmile:
Hope so too Gbs. Looks like there is some rain around, hopefully it stays away as a wet game will favour England more. Am concerned about the lightness of Scotland pack especially the loose forwards, as a unit they are a good fast paced one but if it ends an arm wrestle then heavier England pack may get the upper hand and also a wet game could tilt the balance in the flyhalf stakes in England’s favour
