England Six Nations Squad 2025

[Ragey Erasmus]

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.

Talk Wigglesworth fav to go to Tigers as head coach (rumours Rowntree is also joining him but idk)

Do the RFU have enough money to buy Blackett out of his new Bath contract

No

When will Furbank be back?
V Italy, Dan to start with Jamie on bench.
Swap Earl and Hill.
Roebuck onto wing with Freeman to 13.

Was Tom Curry limping off with his hip?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Dan to start

Ewwww

I'm hoping Langdon really stakes his case tomorrow

Was Tom Curry limping off with his hip?

Was getting treatment on his knee before half time so I'm really hoping it's that

Hhmm not good either way, wasn't he getting treatment and showing real discomfort in one of The other games aswell...if it's Italy next, whilst I wouldn't want wholesale changes...maybe give him a time out.

Yeah, think B.Curry deserves another start tbh so an easy switch. Maybe even rest Tom entirely and go 5:3 so we can give another back some minutes

I'm interested to see what happens when Martin's back - does he stay on the bench or does Chessum shift to 6?

Want to see more of Willis, both in terms of giving him another start but also his performance - had a couple of good carries but I thought he looked underpowered in the contact area today
He only played 30ish mins and when England were under the cosh, so willing to give him the benefit of the doubt

 

[Becca]

Not sure what to think of that, to be honest.
Positive points were we stuck at it again but a lot of players not looking their best out there.
Sorry to see Tom Curry limp off but I do think Ben Curry deserves a start maybe, in his place ? Just to let him rest his clearly injured body.
Great kick by Fin Smith. Thank goodness Finn Russell didn't have his kicking boots on !
Pleased we won but we need to improve tactically, it's just not working kicking the ball down the oppositions throats all afternoon.
