Malins,Air Steward,Nowell for me. If Mays out Nowell provides that back 3 experience and he offers something no one else does. No brainer for me
9. Youngs
10. Smith
11. Nowell
12. Slade
13. Marchant
14. Malins
15 Air Steward

Simples! 😉

Other than the fact that he plays for an unfashionable club there's really nothing going against him.
What are his defensive stats like?
I think he's only missed 2/3 tackles for Irish in the Premiership this season. I'm not saying I'd start him in the opener, Nowell's experience might be a big factor in a match that could set the tone for England's 6N, difficult call for me.

I would go Hassell-Collins ahead of Radwan, who needs to show more to his game than just being quick.

Ford and Daly called up. Also Isiekwe joins the squad as injury cover for Lawes.
Isiekwe interesting call. You would of thought Chessum would provide cover
Yes, you would have.
With regard to Jonny May's withdrawal from the squad, he's going to find it tough to get back in with the likes of Hassell-Collins, Marchant, Nowell and now Daly champing at the bit for a place on the wing.
I would have too. :smt052

He won’t be going anywhere with a 33% tackle success rate… :smt026
Cheering on the Tigers in Detroit.
Previously a slower, shorter, less good looking version of Tom Croft.

Marler’s got Covid …again. They won’t be calling up a replacement.

Must be all those kids he’s got. No real reason for cover. Marler isolate for 5 days, and Genge and Rodd in the squad

According to the Telegraph:

“Marler scrummed for Harlequins against Castres hooker Gaëtan Barlot, who withdrew from the France squad on Sunday after also testing positive for Covid.”

Haha the / is meant as a substitute for "or" in this instance, not "out of"!

There's been a fire at the England hotel and they've had to move, not an ideal senario.

Hope nobody was injured
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.
