Looking forward to this. I've been keeping an eye out for the Welsh squad. Don't think it's been announced yet but hoping to see Christ Tshiunza and Carwyn Tuipulotu in there.

[TRF_Olyy]

Surprised at Roebuck, he's spent half the season injured (and believe he still is?)

Happy for Raffi, shame (in a way) we're in the playoffs cause I reckon he could've made the A game

Think two players is the lowest representation we've had in a while

 

[big ginger 8]

Oh ****, England have Ethan Hunt.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lucas Brooke is Zinzan's son

 

[Welsh Exile]

Lucas Brooke is Zinzan's son

****.

 

[Welsh Exile]

Umaga's nephew, Brookes son. Have England got one Lomu's sons tucked up their sleeve as well?

 

[Which Tyler]

I think this is right:

HK: Ethan Hunt, Sam Riley, Archie Vanes
Prop: Luke Green, Tarek Haffar, Phil Brantingham, Lewis Holsey, Harvey Beaton
LK: Ewan Richards, Alex Groves, Arthur Clark,
BR: Nahum Merigan, Jack Clement, Harry Taylor, Freddie Thomas, Lucas Brooke , Emeka Ilione, Ollie Stonham

SH: Jack van Poortvliet, Raffi Quirke
FH: Orlando Bailey, Tommy Mathews, Charlie Atkinson, Fin Smith
CE: Louis Hillman-Cooper, Tom Litchfield, Seb Atkinson, Dan Lancaster
B3: Deago Bailey, Jack Bates, Arthur Relton, Tom Roebuck

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Will Quirke even be with the squad for the first game?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Will Quirke even be with the squad for the first game?

Hopefully miss the first two

 

[Welsh Exile]

Jesus, Brooke is a back row as well. I was hoping he was the runt of the litter and some 8 stone winger. Oh well.

 

[Which Tyler]

Jesus, Brooke is a back row as well. I was hoping he was the runt of the litter and some 8 stone winger. Oh well.

He's only 6'1 and 15st6, if that helps.
He's only 18 though, so time to bulk up a bit yet

 

[Welsh Exile]

We should have Carwyn Tuipulotu in the back row who's 19 stone plus so will be a good to see them against each other if both selected.

Don't know why we haven't announced our squad yet. I know Christ Tshiunza is in as they tweeted a picture of him training.

 

[Scotty]

Lucas Brooke is Zinzan's son

Think this is him he looks a beast of a tackler.

 

[BiggusLaddus]

How is he at drop goals?

Down to third choice hooker already isn't great.

will be ugly for ireland this summer given how little rugby many of the players have played.
