another familiar outcome considering how well they played
yesterday.

back row/8 from bench.

I'd have Lawrence over Tuilagi, who is an absolute myth.
and although Kyle was much better, the scrum was poor so I'd
bring in cole.
But otherwise, I wholeheartedly agree.

Is it, though? Arundell looks like he could be a generational
talent and would've been ahead of Murley previously if fit.

They aren’t going to drop Farrell or Itoje.
They’re going to play Smith and Farrell again.
Best guess would be:
Genge
George
Sinckler
Itoje
Chessum
Ludlam
Earl
Dombrandt
JVP
M Smith
OHC
Farrell
Lawrence
Malins
Steward
Walker
Mako
Cole
Isiekwe
Willis / Curry / Simmonds
Mitchell
Slade
Watson / Arundell / Marchant

I think he is a good off the bench option. He certainly has that
X factor that Jason Robinson had, so I think chasing a game in
particular he would be a better pick than Watson coming on.
Maybe Watson and Malins will get a start? I wasn’t impressed
with OHC but I think of all the players to drop, he’s probably
down the list after only 1 game
