Given the dearth of leadership in the national team its good to see 2 teams captained by young English forwards.

I know Dombrandt is a stand in, but he's led the team a few times now. How are both doing in those roles?

Ted is doing ok, needs to be a bit tougher with the team but it's early days.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I do love watching watching LI play

 

[Reiser99]

Great play from both sides. Both attacking well. Enjoying this

 

[Reiser99]

Mitchell coming into some good form with the summer tour coming up. Especially with Randall getting injured.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sleightholme and OHC for England wings this summer?

 

[Reiser99]

Wonderful finish by Sleightholme. Another Saints player playing himself into contention for the summer tour.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Enjoyable game.

Auterac and Hill starting for Saints just makes you wonder what might have been.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Enjoyable game.

Auterac and Hill starting for Saints just makes you wonder what might have been.

Hill's only 26. No reason he can't still have a long and prosperous international career if he keeps playing good rugby.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Both props main struggle has been the scrum. They are both very dynamic but we've been slaughtered in the scrum enough times to make think they need to prove themselves a little more at the coal face before thinking about higher honours.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Hill is a odd one.
I do feel if he had went to a more scrum focused club he would be in the England squad by now.

Auterac I think would never be a International prop and a very good Prem prop is his limit.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Not bad considering we are missing Montoya, Brink, Liebenberg and Nadolo.

Faletau, Underhill, Mercer v Martin, Reffell, Wiese will be a tough one for Tigers IMO.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Kelly vs Redpath is gonna be interesting,
Redpath part of the reason he got released from Sale

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wonder if Umaga getting bounced by LCD will get spoken about as much as Ford by Hughes

 

[Rinkadink]

That could have been so nasty in the Sale game, Bedlow got 3 weeks for far less so expecting 6+ match game ban minimum.

Guess AJ will be starting for a while (he's the best 10 there anyway IMO) but who's the back up going in to the end of the season?

HOLY CRAP THIS GAME LOL

I think we just found LRZ's Achilles heel too.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

HOLY CRAP THIS GAME LOL

Legit,
What is happening haha - "end to end" doesn't begin to cover it

who's the back up going in to the end of the season?

We'll call back Curtis or Wilkinson from loan
Wilkinson was 2nd choice last season when AJ was injured
