Warm Up With The U20s

Don’t forget a) to change your fantasy team ahead of the weekend – last chance to snatch victory or *cough* make an impact *cough* – and b) that you can catch England U20s vs Scotland U20s live on Sky Sports tonight. Scotland are (numerically at least) still in with a shout of victory in the tournament as a whole, and also after a Triple Crown.

And as for the big boys – well, we have to hope that they turn up. France didn’t turn up to Twickers at all last week and look what happened to them. Borthwick rambling about over-exuberant celebrations last year (well, we don’t win that often do we?) to try and match the edge that Scotland always take into this particular game will probably only increase Scottish fire. We all hope that will be followed by an ability to well, pass and catch the ball. Kudos to friend of the blog Pete for putting his money where our mouth should be, but at this stage of the tournament I have to confess it pains me to say it’s hard to see a Scotland win… go out there and prove me (and all of England) wrong.
