I signed up the other day. I've narrowed it down to one Englishman, and he's Norwegian anyway.
edit: turns out my suspect number 10 is actually Australian too

he can only play fly-half, but for the backs (full back, left and right wing, outside centre and inside centre) you can choose any of the backs you want - ie you could pick 5 wings from various teams rather than having to have each individual position covered. same with the front row, you can pick 3 props instead of 2 props and a hooker

first time I can remember when we've had a bigger pack than England, this is shaping up to be a good game

The England pack will weigh in at just over 137 stone, two stones lighter than the visiting forwards on Saturday. That is explained by two men - Hamilton and Euan Murray.
At 18st 12lbs, the Glasgow tighthead prop, is heavier than any of the English players - Danny Grewcock their weightiest man at 18st 6lbs - but with Hamilton packing down his 20 stones behind him, there is hope among the Scotland squad that, for the first time, the visiting side in this Calcutta Cup match can hold their own, if not dominate the set-piece at key times.
Hamilton and Kellock also both stand 6ft 8in, Hamilton a fraction taller than his second row colleague, while the English locks - Grewcock and Louis Deacon - are a mere 6ft 6in and the back row jumpers 6ft 5in, which could provide Scotland with an advantage in the lineout. With Ashton having selected Leicester's George Chuter and Deacon, the hooker and front-jumping lock, the Scots are also hopeful Hamilton can upset their lineout rhythm. He said: "I think they'll have to change their lineout a bit with me playing because they have been using a lot of Leicester calls, but it's not that simple - there are lots of moves and calls. I'll tell you on Sunday if I managed to suss them."
