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.
So Rodd has it.

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!

Well Jones has to make room for Farrell, which I totally disagree with. Farrell is either a 10 or doesn't play whether he's captain or not. Be Interesting to see who gets kicking duties?

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

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

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.
