[November Tests 2017 EOYT] England vs. Argentina (11/11/2017)

[Goodey]

Thinking about it, why would you call up anyone except Ben Curry to replace Tom Curry?

Hard to get more like-for-like than that

Because Ben hasn't been in the squad so learning the entire set up in 2 days would probably be a stretch.

Simmonds called up, Curry out with wrist injury according to the independent.

As a health care professional, I am NOT going to ask how a teenage boy injured his wrist!

Dunno if you heard, but they're identical twins.
Everything Tom has learnt Ben also learnt by telepathy.

Blessing in disguise the curry injury IMO, hope hes ok because he is a quality player.

Simmonds is more of an attacking player. And coming on at the same time as genge george and launchbury, that will be alot pf power all at once.


Also chiefs dont need him for anglo welsh cup

"It's a blessing that this teenager broke his wrist and misses out on such a massive honour"

Nice.

It's ok, though, because you said you hope he's ok.....after being so happy he's injured.

You know i didnt mean it like that, im saying IMO simmonds is better cover for that 20 shirt than curry, i hope he's ok and i dont know the extent. Im not happy it happened to him i wouldnt wish it on anyone. But i am happy simmonds is in the 20 shirt as that would have been my choice. Not happy he had to injure his wrist for it to happen.

Try not to embarrass yourself.

My first choice Pumas backs except for 10 & 12. Look out for the debutant backup scrum half Cancellerre. He is like an electric eel. Probably not the fixture to showcase his running ability but you never know. He might have snuck under the English camps radar.

Care, Genge, George, Simmonds and Watson all to come on second half like...

Watson is starting wing isnt he? Or are meaning brown comes off and watson moves? And the rest of them come on

Ahh yes he is I meant him switching to full back (hopefully)

Needs to play there for his club first - more likely that Daly switches to Full Back.. or Slade... or that Lozowski simply comes on there.

It has probably been covered already, but I am quite excited to see Slade this weekend. Always showed huge amounts of promise, certainly a skilled player and a bigger running threat than Farrell. Could go very well!

I guess it's a shoot out between him and Ford for who plays with Farrell though

Not sure I follow the logic there. Slade is playing in Farrell's 12 shirt. If Slade were to impress that comes from playing outside Ford not Farrell we'd actually have no idea if Farrell/Slade is better than Ford/Farrell only what Ford/Slade is compared to our normal paring. It might be Farrell/Slade is awful.

But out of the 3, in my opinion, Farrell is the closest to world class, so he fits in first. And if it's with Slade it would be Farrell 10 Slade 12
