I think the theory is that Earl will cover a 3/4 injury by going in at centre with Freeman going to wing or FB.

That is the theory.

The reality is that we're probably fucked if a 3/4 goes down injured.

I’d have Pollock playing in the backs before Earl

And a 6-2 bench is unnecessary against Australia

Just asking for trouble

An updated England squad has been named.

sparky

Obano in, Lockett in, Caliouri out, Ojomoh out.

Two forwards in, two backs out. Borthwick leaning harder into the 6-2 bench and forwards covering Back injuries.

Will he win play Test Rugby 148 times? Will he will win 89% of those? Will he captain his nation to two World Cup victories? Will he win World Rugby Player of the Year three times? Will he win his hemisphere's Rugby Championship ten times?

If he does, then I'll accept comparisons to the GOAT.

I think they were comparing the start, not the finish

Will have to be a good start..

Was a wee bit funny that the first two highlights were errors - but pretty much all good after that.

Also, WTF was going on with his eyebrows in the interview at the end. It was like he was auditioning to play Andrew Saville reading the sports news.

May well have been awarded MOTM but nothing stellar in those highlights

Jonah The Great and Richie The GOAT in the same Rugby 15. I think it was the only time those two titans of New Zealand Rugby played together.
