Me likey!

[jgriffin]

Nice back row.

[Jacko27]

Nice front row!
Nice half backs!
Nice back line!
And the Second Row won't let anyone down!

[sam16111986]

I'd start Radwan on the wing and Marchant at centre. Drop Slade to the bench. Replace Umaga on the bench with Bassett. Slade can cover 10 in an emergency and we aren't going to sub Smith unless it's an injury. Gives us rapid pace on the left wing and power on the right wing with two centres that'll run lines and have good basics. Should help Smith show us his best.

I'd also start Ted Hill as I think both starting locks were poor at the weekend. Wells and Hill would offer more mobility and should still be able to function at the lineout Vs Canada.

I'd also give Mitchell a go from the bench as we won't learn much about Robson against Canada but for the youngster it'll be a good experience.

Hill at 6 for me. Ok, there’s loads of back row options, but for me he ain’t a 2nd row and is more in the role of Pieter Steph du Toit, which ain’t bad!!

Marchant in the centres for me

Me too. Be interesting to see Slade at 12 as a distributor.

[JP14]

I mean as long as Marchant plays that’s fine by me.

[kpj tiger]

Genge, Heyes, Wells, Kelly and Steward all start!

[Scott1]

Genge, Heyes, Wells, Kelly and Steward all start!

Nice!

[JP14]

Yes boys, c’mon England!

[Leicestertinytiger]

Great to see the Tigers lads get a run out - be great for their development being in the England camp. England should be in a good place come AI.
