Re: England Squad - Autumn Internationals
No Willis! What's Eddie on, for God's sake?
The good news is that he can prepare to be in the Toulouse squad away to Lyon on Sunday!
Wonder if Genge will be dropped, particularly as Rodd has been included?
There are five second rows in this squad, which means that there'll be one in the back row out of position
Freeman to play? Hope so.

Re: England Squad - Autumn Internationals
If that’s the starting pack, Eddie is doing JVP no favours again… could be a tough first period trying to get any gainline carries with those starting against the Boks…

Wouldn't surprise me if he went 6/2 split eitherRunTigerRun wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 8:35 am If that’s the starting pack, Eddie is doing JVP no favours again… could be a tough first period trying to get any gainline carries with those starting against the Boks…

So that would mean Tizzard instead of Porter?Scott1 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 8:37 amWouldn't surprise me if he went 6/2 split eitherRunTigerRun wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 8:35 am If that’s the starting pack, Eddie is doing JVP no favours again… could be a tough first period trying to get any gainline carries with those starting against the Boks…
England suddenly look really underpowered again.
That would be annoying if Porter wasn’t In the 23 but couldn’t have been released to Tigers vs Irish…

Boks have gone 5/3 split on their bench. MVS one of the forwards.

It’s basically all down to insurance, we couldn’t/wouldn’t, South Africans decided they could.Chobbsy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 10:42 amApologises, I must have been dreaming I thought MVS left us as he had to retire due to injuryRugbygramps wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 9:33 am Boks have gone 5/3 split on their bench.
