England Six Nations squad 2022

[Jimbo]

Injury and form permitting I would love to see J Willis, T Willis, Curry, then bring Dombrant on second half and see how those lines he runs off 10 can be effective at international off a tired D.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Times saying that Curry remains a doubt with a decision only taken after training tomorrow and and that Dombrandt isn't going to return to training today as originally envisaged.

3 THs is interesting. Are there fitness doubts or is Jones telling one or both incumbents that they haven't been good enough?

Or maybe he just wants to mess with @LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan) and keep Heyes away

 

[TRF_Olyy]

So do we start Lawes at lock next week?
Best our scrum has looked in years

I hope EJ doesn't call Ludlow into the squad again, he was played off the park by Ben Curry today
I'd just shove Simmonds at 7 (unless he wants to go wild and parachute Willis straight in)

 

[Reiser99]

Scrum definitely went well today, though I think we got the benefit of a French ref for some of it.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah, it does sound like we benefited from his refereeing style

I'd go
Itoje, Launchbury
Lawes, Simmonds, Dombrandt

Isiekwe, Chessum

I expect Ludlow to be called up but he's crap and was outplayed by Ben Curry today, who won't be in with a sniff
If Ludlam is called up then I would be very tempted to start him, but would probably have him on the bench instead of Chessum tbh

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Don't think it'll happen but honestly I wouldn't mind Pearson getting a run at 7, especially over Ludlow.

Underhill will probs be fit by then though.

I missed Tom Curry going off; is he definitely out next week then?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

TOMMY REFFELL

Looked like a knee, or possibly hamstring - bad enough that he couldn't walk off unaided so would be amazed if he was fit in a week

A veritable "who's who" of players who have recently been outplayed by Ben Curry

Mate Curry would absolutely be my choice, I'm just going off of who is actually in the squad/who is realistic.

Aye, I'm just playing

Ludlam would be my first, realistic, choice
Wildcard would be Willis but I wouldn't risk him to even be in England training at this stage

Anyone other than Ludlam I don't think would have a realistic chance of being involved vs France

 

[Reiser99]

Why not B Curry? I feel the only reason he's not picked is because Jones doesn't want both in the squad for some reason. He was originally picked ahead of Tom and might be the one with all the caps had he not got injured. Now that Tom is injured, why not pick Ben?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Can just stop there, really
Jones clearly doesn't rate him for some reason, so I guess we just have to move on
It's frustrating because he got like 20mins in the summer, looked really good and then got dropped the next week and then didn't make the autumn squad

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Maybe Ben Curry isn't real and he was a clone of Tom Curry.
England and Sale know this and don't want people too look too closely into it so picked the team with the lowest attendance and not draw any spotlight onto him.

Tbh I thought it was for some weird reason, like EJ is scared of identical twins, or he gets easily confused by them and doesn't want to embarrass himself.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Curry confirmed unavailable for France,
Sinckler a maybe, has to pass HIA protocols

 

[TW27BA]

Good chance Underhill could return in Paris.
How about Lawes, Underhill, Dombrandt ?
Rough on Simmonds who had a good game today.

I don't feel comfortable seeing Underhill on a rugby pitch, but if the powers that be insist he's fit then that's my first choice
