@Chris That's a really good team.
forward pack is strong, the backline is really average.

Pretty sure South Africa started naming a lot earlier.

Maybe wrong, but so do some of the 6N teams.

Let me sum this up:
Experienced vs Incumbent vs In-formMy worst fear is a combination of Flapanara and Ginger McShitpass.

@Chris i understand in house things will be named....this just seems early to offically name it
Yeah I am not sure why England released it early it does seem a bit early to put it out there.

It's become something of a thing in NH. Gatland seemed to start it. Boks sometimes do. England jumped on bandwagon this year.

@mariner4life Surprisingly, he's from Wellsford.

You can take the boy out of Wellsford, but...

@Daffy-Jaffy Unsurprising given how Dan Cole went against Japan.
@antipodean Fin Baxter is a very handy LH. Coles has often struggled with short and capable LHs.

Wingers don’t have to defend much so maybe they’ll call up Sotutu
but does his hairstyle look good on both sides of the ball?

Pointless Itoje being a vice captain at this point. He’s obviously not the leadership type otherwise he’d have been Captain long ago. Nothing wrong with that.

He's becoming a different player under Borthwick. Much more mature.

Really looking forward to watching this young gun Cunningham-South play at 6 for England.
Huge connection to NZ having played for Silverdale club, went to both Hamilton Boy's and Westlake Boy's.
Cunningham-South, who grew up in New Zealand, is a versatile forward who is comfortable in the second row, blindside flanker or number 8. He joined the London Irish Academy in February 2022. Chandler has played for North Harbour under-18s and trained with NZ Warriors in Rugby League. Chandler also had outings for Canterbury RFC under-19s and Lincoln University in Christchurch before heading over to the United Kingdom.
