I suspect a number of Tigers have played their way into the England team from this game

Absolutely agree mate. Some I'd say should never be near the shirt in the first place. Some showing that without the rest of the team around them are not as good as made out. Some showing they may be 'past it', decide for yourselves who I may mean in each area.
Even in an 'inconsequential' match that was an utter disgrace from England yet I enjoyed the way the Baa Baas approached that, especially when down to 14 men.

Looks like a good weekend for Leicestershire, County cricket look like beating Durham.

That's a yikes for England.
Kruis the best Englishman on the pitch. Jonny May had a decent return and errr... hmm... That's about it.

Really liked that Kruis cut his interview short to celebrate with his Baa Baa team mates.

I know he was one of our 'arch enemies' and often a pantomime villain when playing against us at club level but I do like listening to Dylan Hartley's after match comments, today he's been absolutely spot on - England not good enough anywhere on the park.

Curry, Smith and possibly the Saints full back played OK but aside from them the rest were woeful.
The second row? What more is there to say. Looks like an amateur club players who got on the pitch from the crowd because everyone else had forgotten their boots and the alternatives had got the train to Edinburgh by mistake.
Some of them looked like they were given their opportunity and found way below the standard. Big fish in small ponds syndrome.

Someone on Twitter pointed out (concerningly) how since Borthwick left England to come to us how the fortunes of each team has changed. It does suggest they may look to get him back sooner...
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

If one of Ewels or Hill get picked ahead of Chessum I’ll scream. He’s better than them already imo
