Negative!!! He is in the 25 with Moon,it's big Joe v Ashton and Shields v Hughes to see who makes the cut imo.

Re: The Six Nations 2019
Just seen the 25 man squad and apologies Moon and Cole swap with Genge and Williams.
Makes sense when you have 3 quality props on either side

Re: The Six Nations 2019
You could argue Moon and Cole are better scrummager too and better in the tight

Re: The Six Nations 2019
Good to see Cole back in the fold and in line for another Cap. He has done all the right things since being "dropped". Not surprised given Williams leaked Irish final try. Eddie would have been cross despite the win. Genge v Moon is tight call. I suspect we may see them alternate through rest of 6N (assuming no injuries).
Re: The Six Nations 2019
I don't get that one. EG didn't have long enough on the field to make an impression either way, however I do highly rate Moon
God created rugby so footballers have heros too
Re: The Six Nations 2019
Wouldn't have thought Genge v Moon was that tight a call.
Really hope it doesn't mean that Genge is injured again. Is he carrying a knock - he returned to the Tigers side with a bang but has looked a bit subdued in the last few games he played before going off to England?

Re: The Six Nations 2019
Just rotation of the back ups that’s all. Whether we agree with it Jones seems to see Mako and Sinckler as his first choice props.mol2 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 10:12 am Wouldn't have thought Genge v Moon was that tight a call.

On the plus side both Genge and Cole could now be available for the Sarries game
Re: The Six Nations 2019
We've got 6 top,top frontline props,the best choices in the world imo. Who else has our depth?! It's an attritional position plus we can chop and change according to our gameplan,Moon and Cole are our best scrummagers for me,I don't see the problem! France have a monster pack,right call for me.

Re: The Six Nations 2019
I could imagine Moon and Cole coming on with 20 minutes to go. Whilst Priso and Bamba are both talented players ball in hand, they are young and it will knock their confidence getting stuffed in the scrum.

Jonah Holmes selected on the wing for Wales who have rested a number of players

Re: The Six Nations 2019
Nice to see Jonah Holmes selected in the starting fifteen against Italy. Even better to see he is on the wing.
Re: The Six Nations 2019
Could be an injury in England camp,lineup delayed! Just rumours though

Re: The Six Nations 2019
Ashton and Lawes in for England. Itoje injured Nowell to the bench even though according to EJ he was fantastic against the Irish
Re: The Six Nations 2019
I think its a pretty good idea to swap Nowell and Ashton, Nowell was fantastic against Ireland but Ashton has experience of playing in and against French teams
