No Mike Brown?

That takes the hateability factor down a notch.

I'm guessing that means we get to see Ashton at fullback. This could be hilarious, can't wait.

So, will it be Ford/Farrell or Farrell/12/Tuilagi

No way Tuilagi is not turning out at 13. Eddie has been dying to have him back.

A lot of love in the press for a Farrell/Slade/Tuilagi.

Farrell, Te'O, Tuilagi

Hopefully not. Put Slade in at 12, he's got a very good cut out pass which will be the only way the wingers will see the ball if Tuilagi is at 13...

I used to find that sort of comment funny.

[sparky]

@mikethesnow Jack Nowell can also play fullback but Elliott Daly is the more likely bet.

England's backline strategy looks to be powerful guys in the midfield, fast men outside them.

Well at least there's one English-born player involved..

Mind you, if Ashton gets to do one of his dorky swan dives......

Love it when Nonu 'playfully' punches him.....

BTW some pretty good play in there from Nonu. Maybe he's not so much a geriatric as the Blues fans are saying?

[Victor Meldrew]

@crucial

Yeah, there seems to be a bit more than playfulness in Nonu's fist....

Mate's a Scarlet's supporter and reports that, when they played Toulon, Nonu is/was still outstanding on and off the field.

Spent ages with Llanelli fans after the game, posing for selfies and chatting to all and sundry - unlike the French international who was more interested in getting to the food than chat to the locals.

Went to Toulon (mate a fan) to see them play Bath. Nonu still had the ability, but in that game played in fits and starts.

On loosies, IMHO Ireland is likely to have the best balanced trio in NH this autumn. Scotland and Wales also value a classic 7, whereas England has until very recently been stuck in the mindset, like the Boks, that 7 (Boks 6) has to be 110 kg.

It's not a mindset. They just don't seem to breed any decent 7s that don't break
