A decent side with some players in good club form. Hassell-Collins is a good player and has good size for a winger, 6’4 and 105+ kg. I expect the England attack will use him off first phase on set piece.
-
Ethan Roots (ex-Harbour boy and four-test England international) captaining and starting at centre.

Pommy team naming conventions are dumb
Agreed, but it has become tradition and good luck changing that.

How, where and why? I haven't noticed it at my club level.

Good to see someone has fessed up to being the source of the dumbness.

It's interesting how many English born PI's are coming through their system, considering how much shit NH scribes used to give us for our NZers of PI descent.
It's all Pommynesia, innit?
