England Six Nations Squad 2025

I always think that Butt and Ojomoh are the wrong way around when I see them paired together - but it IS how they usually play together.
I like that we're giving 2 ICs a shot, even if I wouldn't have put Butt in there (SebAtkinson or Dingwall for me). Having said that, I do like seeing club combinations when there's nothing much in it selectorially
This. Just instinctively knowing what someone else is going to do is not something that can really be trained, particularly when it's off the cuff, it's something that comes with familiarity.

I play some team based video games and sometimes the best player doesn't make the best partner due to an inability to work seamlessly with another player.
 
I just don't see Butt as a international level player really
Agreed.
He's had a purple patch this year, and played to a level he'd never shown before. It feels like he's playing above himself, rather than having found a new gear (well, two new gears).
I'd love him to prove me wrong, of course.
