[2025 Six Nations] England vs Scotland - 22/02/25

[Vieux Talonneur]

My apologies - I had read your post as having much more aggressive and dismissive non-verbal communication (as in "everything WT has just written is irrelevant because Borthwick has Freeman as his first choice OC"); and responded in kind.

I wouldn't be that hostile….unless you'd started supporting Wales. You haven't have you?

Personally, I haven't read that Borthwick is particularly interested in Freeman playing OC - just a LOT of fans loving it (and Steward at 12, and Earl at 12, and even Marcus at 9 [but never 15])

Times today saying, for the second time in a few days, that SB is eyeing up a long term positional switch for Freeman. Presumably that's based on something.

Also saying Eng have high hopes for Beard.

I'm not the biggest fan, but this article seems spot on tbh.

I know it's been discussed previously, but Ojomoh seemed to go well in the A game at 12.

If he is picked over the Summer and plays well, is he a realistic option long term? Especially with the club combo with Lawrence?

He plays 12 at club level so doesn't have a hope of being selected at 12 for England

He played 13 in the A game. Will Butt was at 12.

Will Butt

Man I hope this guy makes it, after Assiratti was dropped we need his support more than ever.

I am still disappointed the French player Fartass never really made a breakthrough at senior level.

A real shame his career seems to have been 'blown off' track

 

[BPM]

Please do not laugh at this rugby player's name

He's 20 years old, 1.92m tall, and weighs 92kgs. He's a promising professional rugby player who recently scored two tries against Ireland for the French under-20 team. He has a family. A home. A life. None of that matters because his name... is Faraj Fartass. Being stuck with a so-called...

He played 13 in the A game. Will Butt was at 12.

Ojomoh's a bilateral centre. Equally comfort in either spot, but plays more at IC than OC.
And yes, he's a realistic option, would be my 2nd choice IC for England currently, (after Seb but ahead of Fraser)

As for Fartass - I feel more sorry for him being called Farage than Fartass.

 

[BPM]

Yeah, I know. I'd have the same pecking order too.

I was responding to @Noonz's posting saying 'he went well at 12 in the A game'.

I don't think it really matters who you stick at 13, the issue isn't the players it's the game plan/coach.
