...and Watson to replace Brown.
Teo will be an interesting question, clearly a solid option as a big physical centre, but for still need to improve his handling. If he was 25 I'd be all for bringing him in with a view to polishing his weaknesses but at 30 years old?

Re: England team for Saturday
So - George to replace Hartley; Watson to replace Brown......Farrell to replace Ford? And, if Ford doesn't start at 10, does he make the 23 given that he only covers at 10?
Happy days clearing straw from the pitch before the Baa-Baas games! KBO

I suspect 10 Ford, 12 Farrell will remain in place for a while.

Jones has experimented with Farrell/Te'o/Joseph in the latter stages against France and Ireland in the six nations. It worked against France but not so against Ireland.strawclearer wrote:So - George to replace Hartley; Watson to replace Brown......Farrell to replace Ford?

Jones seemed keen to get Manu involved previously so he might effect the thinking if he can stay fit long end gh otherwise Te'o as bench impact might continue with Ford/Farrell running the show, they are both young enough to keep improving.

Re: England team for Saturday
Tough gig so far for England but the inaccuracy is on both sides. How experimental are Argentina or are they pretty much full strength?

Who's this bloke Leggy Salmon that Eddie Butler thinks is playing for the Pumas??
Re: England team for Saturday
That George Ford has a useful pass.

Good pass from Ford for the try and a tidy conversion.
I did like the respect the kicker sign that the guy held up in vain during the kick

Re: England team for Saturday
Can't bear to listen to him when he commentates on the French because of his exagerated pronounciation of the French names, unfortunately he seems to have started doing it for Argentina now aswellWho's this bloke Leggy Salmon that Eddie Butler thinks is playing for the Pumas??

Well I cursed it! It's a bit loose out there to say the least.

Re: England team for Saturday
They've given a winger and some less experienced props a go. I think anyway. They are a lot me experienced than the England team.Tigerbeat wrote:Argentina are said to be at full strength.HantsTiger wrote:Tough gig so far for England but the inaccuracy is on both sides.

George playing and kicking well. Genge looks a handful but will be kicking himself after the knock on that led to the second try.

Re: England team for Saturday
England's first try - proper contributions from the Tigers boys! Genge shows he's the 'real deal' each time he plays.
