I would take Lake over George. A year or two ago, no chance.
Maybe I'm wrong, but George hasn't looked as good at Sarries
this season (I admit to an anti-sarries bias...) Agree on the
others.

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is an injury doubt for England's Six
Nations opener against Wales on Saturday after the wing finished
Thursday's training session prematurely because of a leg injury.
"Manny just pulled up at the very end," defence coach Richard
Wigglesworth told Rugby Union Weekly.
"His leg's sore. There was nothing specific and he walked off,
there was nothing much to it, but he did miss the last 60
seconds of training so we're just waiting to investigate that a
little bit more."
Exeter Chiefs winger Feyi-Waboso was born in Cardiff and
represented Wales at age-grade level, but is yet to face them at
senior level.
The 23-year-old started all four of England's autumn Tests and
his potential withdrawal could prompt a significant reshuffle to
the backline.
Tommy Freeman, who was named at 13, could revert to the wing
where he has played the majority of his Test rugby, with Max
Ojomoh an option to come into the centres.
A more simple swap would involve the versatile Elliot Daly
replacing Feyi-Waboso on the wing.
Harlequins winger Cadan Murley is with England A preparing for a
Friday fixture with Ireland's second string, while Sale's Tom
Roebuck, another wing option, has been given an extra week to
recover from a toe injury.
Feyi-Waboso was shortlisted for World Rugby's Breakthrough
Player of 2024 after a stunning campaign which included three
tries against New Zealand, but his progress was slowed by a
shoulder injury that ruled him out of last year's Six Nations.
He made his return to rugby in an England A game against France,
but earned a red card for a high shot on Antoine Hastoy in the
34th minute.
A subsequent two-match ban ruled him out of two Tests against
Argentina in the summer, but England coach Steve Borthwick kept
the 23-year-old as part of the squad anyway, giving him a start
against the United States on the way home and illustrating the
high esteem he is held in.
"Manny is really, really keen to be as good as he can be," added
Wigglesworth.
"if that's your starting point, with the physical capabilities
he has, then you're going to go well.
"He is really coachable, takes feedback really well and he's got
incredible physical commitment in terms of how quick he runs
into contact."

I've just watched the France v Ireland game and assuming ITV
took the French production company feed it was decidedly odd.

I noticed that they didn't spend much effort re-showing the TMO
decisions.

I saw it suggested that Feyi-Waboso could be replaced by Daly or
Stewart, and I can I say, please no. Both players have their
place, but neither of them are an appropriate replacement for
Feyi-Waboso.

Freeman to wing, Ojomah to 13.
Daly on the wing as a starter? No thanks.

France.tv provided the feed, which was it’s normal eccentric
coverage.

I've heard Roebuck more recently.

England confirm Roebuck coming straight in. Very good news that
he's back fit and that we can avoid the drop-off in quality to
starting Daly (who is a superb #23, I'm sure)

It's Roebuck. Gives the wings a little more balance for me
Too late to change fantasy teams, though. Lots will have chosen
IFW and are now screwed
