Isn't this "tournament" on Amazon prime? Saw an advert today and I also think Channel 4 have a few games.

True- but they did get a hiding by Scotland the other week, so maybe they've regressed with not having decent opposition on a regular basis. If they did join, I think a few people will be surprised by how nice Tblisi is. Definitely on my 'to visit' list once Covid's pissed off.

I've looked at loads of hotels online and they look great so does the surrounding area. My only concern is the feedback from traveler's other than Russian ones who criticise the staff. Like I say I normally don't take too much notice as there are always disgruntled folk but it does seem to be a trend and running theme on the feedback.

Looks like they might play on the "Finals" weekend. I think my mate watched the last Italy-Georgia match and said it looked easy enough for Italy. Think it was this one?

Eddie's named the starting XV and the "Finishers" for the game against Georgia on Saturday. It looks a really strong line-up and good to see a few younger players included. Just a matter of how many points they'll win by isn't it.
ENGLAND 15. Elliot Daly (Saracens, 43 caps) 14. Jonathan Joseph (Bath Rugby, 51 caps) 13. Ollie Lawrence (Worcester Warriors, 1 cap) 12. Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs, 30 caps) 11. Jonny May (Gloucester Rugby, 57 caps) 10. Owen Farrell (c) (Saracens, 83 caps) 9. Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers, 100 caps) 1. Ellis Genge (Leicester Tigers, 19 caps) 2. Jamie George (Saracens, 50 caps) 3. Will Stuart (Bath Rugby, 4 caps) 4. Charlie Ewels (Bath Rugby, 16 caps) 5. Joe Launchbury (Wasps, 65 caps) 6. Maro Itoje (Saracens, 39 caps) 7. Jack Willis (Wasps, uncapped) 8. Billy Vunipola (Saracens, 52 caps)
FINISHERS 16. Tom Dunn, (Bath Rugby, 1 cap) 17. Mako Vunipola (Saracens, 60 caps) 18. Kyle Sinckler (Bristol Bears, 36 caps) 19. Ben Earl (Bristol Bears, 4 caps) 20. Tom Curry (Sale Sharks, 24 caps) 21. Dan Robson (Wasps, 3 caps) 22. Max Malins (Bristol Bears, uncapped) 23. Joe Marchant (Harlequins, 3 caps)
Amazon Prime appear to have got the coverage so I for one won't be able to watch the games apart from the Irish game on C4.
England v Georgia: Saturday 14 November 2020, KO 15:00 GMT - Twickenham Stadium (LIVE on Amazon Prime) England v Ireland: Saturday 21 November 2020, KO 15:00 GMT - Twickenham (LIVE on Amazon Prime and Channel 4) Wales v England: Saturday 28 November 2020, KO 16:00 GMT - Parc y Scarlets (LIVE on Amazon Prime) England v TBC: Sunday 6 December 2020, KO 14:00 GMT - Twickenham Stadium (LIVE on Amazon Prime)

I was surprised how good Amazons coverage of the Premier League was so hopefully they do a similar job with the Rugby.

Wales have been awful since Gatland and Edwards left. Their performances were always going to take an initial dip but I don't think Pivac will last long if it continues this way.
As for Ireland, nothing new really, just more solid and accurate than Wales but still a bore to watch. Don't see any problem for England next week.

When I watched Wales in their last 6 Nations game the commentator said they were "a team in transition" a couple of times. I can't believe they have dipped so much since Gatland left. I didn't see the Ireland game as I haven't got Amazon Prime, but they were pretty lacking in most areas in the 6 Nations and bore no resemblance to Gatland's team.Thank goodness Gatland's gone

Italy 11-7 Scotland half time.
Much like in the game against England, Italy have played very well so far but as we know, they're prone to crumbling in the second half. Hopefully they can maintain this intensity for 80 minutes for a change.
