Good for Joe, but a bit odd. If EJ told Lynagh he was close,
surely when someone who is a winger leaving the squad should be
replaced by a winger?
IMO Marchant is best at centre, but I wish him well anyway.

Capped player, covers Center and Wing, I think it’s the right
call.
Lynagh will get his chance for international soon, just hope
Eddy isn’t stringing him along.

He'll be considered a bench option at best, so his flexibility
gets him the nod as a more useful squad player.

Eddie’s also said that he told Lynagh what he had to work on.
He’s good enough to warrant a close up look in camp, but not
fully baked yet.

I saw that too. Sounded v sensible. I'm glad we're not getting
into that thing of capping guys to stop them going elsewhere.
My view is either they want to play for England enough to fight
for their place or they don't.

Whats everyones team for the AI? I don't want to see Tonga
treated like a warm up, aka not whoelsale changes for the more
"serious" nations in the following weeks.
This is a mix of what I would like to see, but also remaining
grounded in what I think EJ will select.
1. Marler
2. George (I would prefer Blamire)
3. Genge
4. Itoje
5. Johnny Hill
6. Lawes
7. Underhill
8. Simmonds
9. Randall
10. Smith
11. May
12. Farrell
13. Tuilagi
14. Radwan
15. Steward

I like the team but Genge and Marler are both looseheads aren't
they? So don't think we will be seeing them at 1 & 3.

Sorry, I was having a brain fart. Forget Genge for Sinkler.
Genge and Dolly could work well together but I'd only have them
as impact subs.
Bench Wise we could probably afford 5/3 split almost for backs
coverage. Marchant would cover centre and wing, Mallins can
cover fb 10 and wing, with also Quirke off the bench

Sorry, this may be my Sharky glasses but why are we dropping
Curry?
He was selected for the Lions when Underhill wasn’t and (at the
risk of coming across as that guy) had a pretty good first game
back.
I have also never seen the big whoop about Hill.

To be Honest I would leave Curry at Sale and use the AIs to get
some other guys into the back row, Curry is amazing and doesn’t
need to prove himself.
Underhill needs some game time in a England shirt so keep him
in.
Then just get new blood into the shirts.
