No no.8,
No new 9,
Umaga??

What the ****.

 

[MikeTheNative]

Is Nowell injured?

Is Nowell injured?

Nope

 

[TommiG88]

Interesting

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Honestly outside Harrison and Umaga I like that.

I was wrong about Harrison I think

What could actually be the reasoning behind leaving Dombrandt out of the team (with Binny crocked), let alone out've the squad?

Jones has always been slightly weird on selections and apparently has set criteria that people have to meet. Maybe fitness or defence?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How often does Earl actually play 8?
He's a flanker really isn't he?

Maybe they'll look at putting Ted Hill there, he's a big unit - 6ft5 and pushing 18st

What about Wilson?

 

[Reiser99]

Hmm so a team out of that. I can see almost an identical team to the world cup starting with the others fighting it out for the bench spots. Only 8 is the really big question. Surely either Ludlum or Earl.

 

[Reiser99]

What about Wilson?

Injured I think

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What about Wilson?

Still not back playing yet

 

[bushytop]

Injured I think

Fair enough.

 

[MikeTheNative]

Is this correct?

10s : Farrell, Ford, Umaga
Centres: Devoto, DIngwall, Tulangi, Joseph, Thornley
Back 3: Daly, Furbank, May, Watson

Seems odd to have that many Centres to back 3 if right.

 

[NickBD]

Only issues for me is no Dombrandt and new 9s. I like the rest of that. Umaga is a odd one but I haven't seen much of him. Smith has hardly earned a call up this season either.

Good to see Devotto back over Francis, Earl, Hill, Stuart, Furbank and Thorley.

So Kruis and Launch keep there spots which is good to see. Maybe Japan rumours weren't true after all.

 

[bushytop]

With how Eddie likes to test/break his new toys... England could be without as much back up as they'd like if many of the frontline 15 goes down.

Thorley plays wing these days
