England EPS 2017/18 edition.

[curtbob7]

Still think Daly should learn 15. Not convinced by Watsons kick-chase yet.

 

[curtbob7]

You mean Sam saviour of English rugby Simmonds right?

I just can't see anyone else really, Ackermann doesn't qualify till 2020 other than that who else is there?

Brad Shields

 

[Scotty]

So what is our 6N injury list as it stands, and who will be fit in time?

So injured atm

Billy
Hughes
Itoje
Underhill?
Daly
Genge
Roko

Have i missed any? And who will be fit in time and who won't?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Binny and Itoje due back by then, apparently
Daly and Hughes definitely out

 

[Scotty]

No 8 will be an issue with billys lack of game time amd simmonds inexperience. Itoje not too worried and bringing him off the bench for first game isnt a bad option he always brings something.

Daly out is bad for england in general as he was finally getting regular time on the wing for wasps.


Any sale fans out there got info on the curry twins form atm? Simmonds will more than likly be in as no 8 cover so is at the cost of tom curry?

Has THE only Sale fan out there got info on the curry twins form atm? Simmonds will more than likly be in as no 8 cover so is at the cost of tom curry?

Just thought id correct your error

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Yep, let's learn from the last 6N. and see him properly prove match fitness and form first. Last time he'd been out since Nov, and only played against Newcastle in early March before coming off the bench in the romp against Scotland and starting against Ireland where he, understandably, looked a bit off the pace.

A properly fit Billy is a huge asset, but if he's not busting through brick walls his contribution is quite limited.

Ben is killing it,
He's got MOTM in every win we've had that he's played this year and had a run of either 3 tries from 3 games, or 4 tries from 4 games, a month or so ago.

Tom's still in rehab, he posted an xray of his hand the other day and it's more metal than man - he must have really badly broken it in training.


Edit:
4 from 4

Ben teo

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

With Tuilagi potentially being available, do you think Jones will use him? Against Italy would be the best time but it would mean dropping JJ or breaking up the Ford-Farrell pairing.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I'd be amazed if he wasn't on the bench at least a couple of games.
Jones loved having Teo in the 23 shirt, and Teo was our answer to an injured Tuilagi (and is, himself, injured atm)

 

[ncurd]

How many months is the 6 nations? Why are we discussing Tualangi he'll be injured by then!

 

[Every Time Ref]

How many months is the 6 nations? Why are we discussing Tualangi he'll be injured by then!

And recovered and then injured again probably

 

[Scotty]

Really hope manu tuilagi does stay fit, im curious to see his form. He seems alot smaller than he was when he last played for england, is that going to work better or worse for him. No idea the difference in weight though, anyone have any idea

Hope he finds form though given his age hes a better prospect for the future than teo but we will see.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I thought Manu looked massive on the weekend,
He looked a lot smaller the last time he came back, but this time he was back up to bulldozer size.

 

[curtbob7]

So if we lose Youngs, Ford, Genge, Cole, Hamilton, Tuilagi, and May to the six nations I wonder how much cap that is. Christ we need reinforcements.

 

[TommiG88]

BBC trolling England as usual. They've put team of the year up and have Hughes as Wasps and Fiji.

Can't see it, on my phone Hughes isn't even an option option at 8 for team of the year

They've obviously changed it. I should have gotten a picture.
