[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 1035974, member: 34990"] England beat them on the same tour with a side containing: Mike Brown on the wing, Cipriani at 10, Hughes at 8, Robshaw at 6 and Hepburn, Williams and Solomona on the bench We can say that 2021 Six Nations form isn't the be all and end all but going back to 2018 with vastly different players, coaches and form doesn't really tell us much either I don't see this conversation as a reason to be big mad over or anything, though - we've three world class openside options (four if Underhill is fully in the mix - which I think he should be), two will likely make the 23 (either as dual opensides or one on the bench). Sucks that one will miss out but there'll inevitably be injuries n that. We toured RSA in 2018, but we definitely seem to play the Boks less than other sides (bar the All Blacks) The 2018 tour was a goodun as well, we lost 2-1 but we blooded Curry and he played fantastically - went toe to toe with Siya (who had just been made captain) and they ended up becoming good mates, Siya gave Tom one of his two RWC Final jerseys (though I'm not sure how much Tom enjoys that memento :p ) Plus it produced one of my favourite rugby moments: [MEDIA=youtube]BpGH2opueq8[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
