I think Willis on bench covering flanker and 8, Youngs England
career looks over , Watson will continue to be in and out of the
squad

Not sure Ben Curry is a big name - that was his debut and it
only seems to have happened because Willis couldn't make
training...

Very positive stuff. Hopefully we have a backrow of Ludlam,
Dombrandt and Earl.
Concerned that Isekwie is still knocking around. I’ve seen
nothing from him to suggest he’s international class, so hoping
at least that if Maro starts as I think he will, he has Chessum
alongside him again.
I don’t think the back 3 will change but can see Arundell coming
on as impact sub

I knew I shouldn't have trusted the commentators :(
Did he get his first cap on an Argentina tour or something? Was
it the tour where Ford was allowed to play without Farrell at 12
and ran riot as a result?

Isiekwe is excellent - he has a huge engine and is a very good
lineout operator.

Surely OT should start this thread . Didn’t think Quins were
playing this Sunday

I very much doubt that. This is one of the few games before the
World Cup where Borthwick feels he can expirement to a degree.
I'd be very surprised if Youngs isn't back for the next game and
doesn't make the World Cup.
There are similarities between England and Wales in that there
are a number of players who should have more international caps
by now, but the previous regimes didn't invest in them. It'll be
interesting to see who is the braver in their selection policy
during the 6N.

Yep, A player (just like Itoje and Farrell) getting picked for
whatever reason (reputation/who he plays for/past glories?)
rather than what he's actually done in recent history in an
England shirt, which is not a lot.
