Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
Re: Autumn Internationals
So I would guess you’re looking at a starting team and bench of
Hepburn, Hartley, Sinckler, Itoje, Kruis, Shields, Curry, Mercer, Youngs , Ford , May, Farrell, Slade, Ashton, Daley.
Moon, George, Williams, Ewels, Wilson, Care, Tuilagi, Nowell

Re: Autumn Internationals
I get that Mercer is a good player and I know that South Africa will be missing European-based players but surely you need the experience (and the bulk) of Ben Morgan vs the Boks.
Formerly of Burbaaage (not Inkleh), now up north at uni
Re: Autumn Internationals
Mercer more explosive maybe, some strange selections in the pack especially though injuries to the likes of the Vunipola boys Lawes and Launchbury have had some say
Re: Autumn Internationals
For me Mercer deserves his chance. Good set of wheels and likes to mix it up

Re: Autumn Internationals
Pleased to see Brad Shields in there. He's really earned his place in the side after making a full 3 appearances for Wasps this season.
I saw Marika Vunibaka play

Re: Autumn Internationals
Thats what I'd love to see; but I just have a horrible, horrible feeling Manu will be chosen to play 12.

Re: Autumn Internationals
If I had my way, someone else would be between Ford and Tuilagi!
