YBY, Manu and Cole in.
That is a horrific decision. Hartley included, who isn't first choice at Saints? No. When was the last time he started (I know he's had concussion issues).
Gutted for OTY but their loss is our gain over this period. He should be in the EPS. No question.

Good God, are we really that blessed with good Hookers? I had some hope Jones might make some decent selections but this is farcical.

Re: England Squad - OTY Dropped !!!!!
Did not see OTY being dropped...he is a phenomenon around the park really feel for him...
Youth seems to be key with this squad can't see us anywhere near the top of the six nations but building for the future..

Re: England Squad - OTY Dropped !!!!!
I think Lawes, Hartley and Marler are lucky to be in there.
Surprised Fraser isn't in.

Re: England Squad - OTY Dropped !!!!!
That's insane - how can you pick Hartley when he's not first choice at his club and hasn't played for weeks??

If you want him to be captain you have to include him..................

Re: England Squad - OTY Dropped !!!!!
If Jones is to have Hartley as his captain, he has no option but to leave the countries best hooker out of his squad. Hartley now becomes first choice hooker.

Re: England Squad - OTY Dropped !!!!!
Gutted for Tom, Jones must really rate the 20 minutes Jamie George puts in week in week out for his club. I'm going to wait till after the 6N to formulate an opinion but there's definitely a whiff of the experimental about this squad.
Re: England Squad - OTY Dropped !!!!!
I can only think he has dropped OTY because of the public statement he made about striking for the ball. Jones likes his hookers to hook. Personally I would have gone for George and OTY and left Dullan at Stains.
