Think we will be seeing a lot more of Ben and George next season but not as much of Freddie and Joe

Cheap caps for some players, who will never play for England again. Devalues caps for others?

Did that ball bounce first? If so aren't you essentially jumping into a tackle?

Pretty average display from England, to ship 29 points to the USA is poor!!
Re: THIS WEEKENDS RUGBY - 02-04th JULY 2021 - MATCH THREAD
Yep,too much churn of players,too many new caps,6/2 didn't help,maul defence was poor. A few might not see themselves in another squad after this

Thought Steward was excellent, Genge and Hayes got through a lot of tackles and restricting the USA forwards. Randall had a great time, thought many players were anonymous, and shape lost after substitutions. USA were very C team TBH.

A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

It struck me that Ashton' s contributions in commentary were a bit like lift muzak - annoying background noise of no value whatsoever.
I used to sit near a stalker and we want him back "kick for the corner!!!!"

Well played to the Tigers lads, Front row props were massive, bothe scrummed well and put some big hits in open play. Steward MoM for me, two assists, had his legs taken out and face smashed in the turf by US player and a kick- out of play stopped him getting a try. Well done to all

Momentum of foot, ball and hands were unclear from the only camera angle they showed
