England EPS 2017/18 edition.

I wonder if the Cipriani-to-fullback is more than a repeat of the Nowell-to-centre noise...

I'm not usually a fan of Jones' media antics, but I'd love to think that he's trolling the journalists who are on board the Cipriani bandwagon lest they have to form original opinions!

 

[Nudger]

It could be like when he said Nowell was gonna be a 13 in the 6N though...

Hope so

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

I'd rather have a lock at 15.

Like Ford, Cips is an out and out 10.

Now you've done it...

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Cips really isn't an out and out 10 though he has played 15 to a high level granted it was a long time ago BUT he has still played it at the highest level.
And it makes sense IMO to try it to see if he can still perform there, as it could give us a very handy option come RWC time.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Even though I'd like Cips to be played at 10, if it means that Brown isn't in the 15 shirt come 2019 then I'm happy for Cips to play at 15.

Beaumont played 10 as a kid, stick him there

Eddie, shouldn't you be looking for a new defence coach rather than posting on here?

U just hating cause u wish he was a chief!

Who needs Brown when you have the attacking prowess of Dollman and the defensive and aerial reliability of Turner... *cries*

TBF Cips played 15 a fair bit as a pro, it's wasn't just him having a **** about in the park....

Owen will do it fam.

Absolutely terribly, though.
Last time I remember him starting at 15 he played against us and put in one of the worst displays I've ever seen from a pro player.

He's arguably the form 10 in the prem (think Farrell is on excellent form atm too, but depends what you want from your 10) - even considering playing him at 15 is just pants on head retarded, especially when we have the form 15 in the prem, in Woodward, there.


Ben Foden played a decent amount of scrumhalf, even won a premiership playing there, doesn't mean I'd have him in the squad backing up Youngs

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

of course not Ben Foden is moving to america silly.

Also the difference between 10 and 15 is nothing compared to 9 and 15.

I'm sure there's an english qualified full back in super rugby we can call up to solve a non existent crisis?

Saved me a lot of typing.

Woodward's the obvious choice, but if we are going a bit left field then surely Loz would be worth a look?

Agree with what you're saying but... Veianu? Le Roux?

Ffs don't tell eddy

 

[ratsapprentice]

Mark Wilson clearly worse for wear after that semi-final in his RFU portrait...

 

[BPM]

Haha - that's hilarious.

It's clearly a very bad composite of Wilson on someone else's browner but otherwise less impressive body.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's ******* embarrassing,
I'd say "Did the work experience kid make that?" but I think most kids would fare far better. It looks like it's been knocked up by a blind Albanian woodsman
