England v France 2017

Eddie starts this year's campaign,
Chance to extend unbeaten reign:
No laurels on which he lays to rest,
Onwards to next sternest test.
Maybe hint of one slight worry
But complacency not in his dictionary.
Some mighty fall, but once again the fortress wall,
Reminds the team, steadfast, stand tall!

Injury list, the new buzz word,
But for Eddie he'll not be deterred.
It won't detract, won't affect his eye
Invincibility! He's aiming high;
Use this time, blood future plan
Onwards even think Japan!
Drives him on and on the contrary
"No excuses!" is his dictionary!

Those incoming, this is your chance
Stamp authority all over France
Make sure your name's first, on next team sheet
Sewn and inked, upon the seat.
They'll remember those first early caps,
New chaps, but how were they kept under wraps?
The squad, the team, the strength in depth,
This is your time from springboard leapt
Into the Twickenham roaring fire,
Roared on by the full voiced choir!

The experienced, those battle scarred
Mental strength their metal hard
Memories to spur them on. The bad delete,
The good repeat, to continue on this winning feat!
Remember now back at square one
Nil nil, ground zero, the start's begun
But remember they're still on a role
Grow in stature make sure toil tolls.
Winning rolls on from Autumn clashes
Where left off,  those brilliant flashes.
Take all that's in their well packed bags
Rose on shirt, wave English flags
You're only as good as this next game
But remember, invincibility's aim!
