That looks very solid actually. Maybe Coakiasanga on a wing though

knew i forgot someone would have him starting over Solomona then.

Probably worth giving Earle a thought as well. He's been around the squad a couple times so maybe the 23 jersey

As I wrote assuming Sarries and exeter players are out.

Oh yeah forgot

From an England POV would be better to have a Tigers v Wasps final IMO since Sarries and Exeter have more players that could do with playing v a barbarians type team like Maunder, Townsend, Skinner, Hepburn, Earle, Malins, Thompkins, etc etc.

I dunno, what shows more about a player? A premiership final or a game against the babas

Who's Lawrence at 12?

The thought of Mallinder being involved is genuinely upsetting

ollie Lawrence Wuss U18 centre who honestly looks pretty fecking good.

Depends if the player will play or not I guess for the likes of Hepburn the final for the likes of Malins a babas

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Wouldn't mind seeing Redpath at 12 either.

Presume age grade lads will be preparing for the Junior World Cup (starts like 3 days after the Baabaas game)

He's u18, not u20.

Might well go, however.
He's like a much more powerful JJ.

Redpath or Lawrence?

 

[ratsapprentice]

Lawrence.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lawrence is the 13 in this clip. (a reminder he is still U18)



IMO the most complete centre England have coming up in a while.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Redpath played in the u20 6N (despite being u18) so presume he'll be in the mix
Be interesting to see what happens with the Currys. Maybe one with the u20s one with the seniors?

Kind of stating the obvious, but Quins are supposedly leaning heavily on their recent deal with the NZRU in their appointment of a new coach/DOR.

good luck to them, not many left now.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

NZRU just realised they were looking at the wrong premiership season's wikipedia page and Quins aren't actually champions.
Currently offering big bucks to Chiefs for a partnership deal.

Wayne Smith is what I've heard...

Doubt it since he had cancer I can't see him leaving NZ area for that long a period.

Certainly nothing high pressure.
