England Six Nations Squad 2025

Like your thinking, but that's too much change and disruption.
Also, Hendy? Really?
 
Players look top class in the prem but look rather average when they play against the best at this level ..

It's all about the stats and spreadsheets... 😉

I think these are two current issues. In the prem I heard a stat about the amount of fixtures pre Christmas that had a winning margin of 30 or more. It was big. I don't think it preparing the players for international rugby. The positive on the salary cap may be that more younger lads get exposed to pro rugby sooner.

Borthwick and Co are too stats driven has been a criticism. It's all well and good until you get punched in the face and all that. Ireland adapted in the pitch yesterday, England don't seem to be able to and/or aren't given the freedom.
 
Freeman seems to be a bit of a boo boy for some reason.
I think he's a cracking player. He seems to be getting targeted as not having the top end pace, but England have surpey had slower in recent memory, Nowell and Daly for two.

I think most of the alternatives also have flaws to their game.

Well your always going to have difference's of opinions on games and players.

I've been critical of him for England in past games that he has looked a little anonymous but I felt he was pretty good yesterday.
