England Six Nations Squad 2025

My Stevie B meter thinks we might see

6 curry
7 Earl
8 Wiilis

Or

6 Chessum
7 curry
8 Willis

Or maybe Willis on the bench and Earl at 8. That maybe seems more Borthwicky.
 
Any chance of Ollie Hassell-Collins getting an England recall? I never understood why Borthwick picked him and then suddenly dropped him.
I hope not, he's not a bad player there are just players which suit England better, have been in more consistent form for a long while and in all honesty currently deserve it more.
 
Henry Pollock was at the Allingment camp last week. So there is a chance he is called up on Tuesday (Which is his birthday) or put on standby incase of withdrawals

Will Chessum be match fit?

If we go with the first one...is a lack of a 3rd lineout option in the back row a problem?

Genuine question...
Why is Pollock getting the headlines over Pepper. Is it he's just a highlight reel player ..because he's not even close to Pepper as a genuine top class player yet.
In my opinion 😉

In fairness, Pollock has been very good - better than I actually expected. However, his highlight reel probably artificially inflates his usefulness from an all round POV.

He's new and shiny (and also very good)
 
Plus he puts himself out there more, in the media's eye
Loves a soundbite and is constantly kicking off or rubbing people's faces in it on the pitch - that makes highlight reels more than consistent good play alone (which he also has)
