So Rodd has it.ABClub wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 3:07 pm Suggestion that Bevan Rodd will be the replacement called up. I really rate Rodd so I'd be happy to see that. England have lots of props with very high tackle counts and/or ones that are good ball carriers but they haven't had much breakdown presence from a prop for a long time which Rodd offers.
Trevor Davison is already in the squad and can play both sides but I believe England have been viewing him as a TH.

Re: AUTUMN INTERNATIONALS 2021
Early indications are that Farrell will start at FH with Manu and Slade outside him. I don't mind that,I don't ever want to see Smith and Farrell and especially don't want to see Smith,Farrell,Slade!

No Radwan?
Probably the fastest bloke on either side?

Manu on the wing...:censored:
Two specialist number 8's on the bench, with Curry starting at 8 !

Hopefully our non-selected players will be released and available for selection this weekend.

Re: AUTUMN INTERNATIONALS 2021
just fire him now for crying out loud
Re: AUTUMN INTERNATIONALS 2021
Massive extra pressure on Steward this game because if I'm Australia im targeting Manu as much as possible with the high ball and in behind. Freddie gonna have to do some serious covering

Re: AUTUMN INTERNATIONALS 2021
I honestly don't think Farrell would start at 12 for most prem sides but we have to put up with him there at England because no one has the balls to drop his ego, either start him at 10 or don't pick him

Matt Scott in the Scotland game v SA his first international game in over 4 years and it's against the champs and B&I tour winners
Starting as well.
What a great story for Tigers, comes here off the back of no contract offers from Cockers recommendation becomes IMO our form centre in both 12 and 13 and gets his rewards with a cap. Very good PR for Tigers recruitment.
