All 10 team selections for Gallagher Premiership round three

Things step up a notch this weekend in the Gallagher Premiership with Steve Borthwick having just named his 36-man squad for next week’s England training camp. There are just four weeks to go before the All Blacks arrive at Allianz Stadium on November 2, so players will be vying to impress.

An example is the Friday night match-up at Franklin’s Gardens when all eight of the Northampton players chosen for the international gathering, five backs and three forwards, will start against a visit Harlequins XV that includes four of its five Test-camp picks, Joe Marler being the missing link.

The Quins selection of Marcus Smith at full-back prevents England fans from witnessing a direct head-to-head clash at out-half with Fin Smith after both impressed at No10 in last weekend’s round two. However, that type of spicy positional contest is very much on the cards in Saturday when Bath’s Ben Spencer takes on Bristol’s Harry Randall.

Both players were capped on the summer tour to Japan and New Zealand and with uncertainty currently surrounding the fitness of Alex Mitchell for the November series, a riveting duel is expected at The Rec when the No9 Test underlings collide.

Another weekend highlight from an England squad perspective is Saracens hosting Exeter on Sunday. It’s six years since Alex Lozowski was last capped at Test level but he is now in Borthwick’s squad, Henry Slade’s injury opening up a midfield slot.

Solenn Bonnet 10 days ago
Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
