Jones overlooks Dombrandt again as England announce updated Six Nations squad

England head coach Eddie Jones

England head coach Eddie Jones has again opted to leave out in-form Harlequins number eight Alex Dombrandt after announced an updated Six Nations squad for Saturday’s trip to face Scotland in Murrayfield.

The calls to include Dombrandt increased following Sunday’s defeat to France, where Jones opted to move Tom Curry to number eight in place of the injured Billy Vunipola.

 

However Jones has stuck to his guns by continuing to ignore Dombrandt as England look to pick up their first win of the campaign in Edinburgh this weekend.

Manu Tuilagi keeps his place in the squad despite concern surrounding his latest groin injury.

The updated 35-man squad includes uncapped Ben Earl, Alex Moon, Fraser Dingwall, Ollie Thorley and Jacob Umaga while Alex Mitchell is included as an apprentice player.

Does South Africa have a future in European competition?

Thats exactly the criticism Ed, that it has already been done for generations. A strong SA, in many respects, should certainly help African rugby develop. You'd have to think they'd acclimatize much better being drawn to a pro SA club than say a European. Hopefully the fact theyve gone private (is that right Graham?) should enable this sort of change.

What do you by slice of the pie? I thought each was it's own separate financials (after prev broadcast deals were I think it was plit 1/3 each with SA bringing in the most, to then be shared out) after like 2015?

What are you referring to Graham? Was this response meant for another post of mine?


Really interested in what you might be talking about, what will take generations? Are you referring to my suggestion the universities offer scholarships to South American talent?

2024 in review: Beauden Barrett’s brilliance sparks thrilling All Blacks win

Perofeta came back and was available for the eoyt right? Or was that why Love was in the squad (but got injured in the last week)?


It was such a frustrating year. Perofeta looked a service stop gap until Jordan was fit, but then got injured. Plummer was selected because of Pero's injury and dmac shat the bed in the second half in Australia but Clarke (?) got himself binned at the 65 min mark so Plummer couldn't come on (at least with the risk adverse Razors thinking) when he was planned to.


So many other exciting opportunities that could have happened without injuries, but then theyre probably balanced by knowing Sititi probably wouldn't have been given a chance without multiple injuries happened.

Ex-Wallaby explains why All Blacks aren’t at ‘panic stations’ under Razor

If they want to improve they need a backs coach. Thats the big area they have failed this year. Talent isnt the problem. Coaching is.

Ex-Wallaby explains why All Blacks aren’t at ‘panic stations’ under Razor

Agree, the team isn't really in transition anymore, that happened very early, and looks to have been completed by the Argentina loss, that they fixed the cause of that Foster type result and it didn't happen again.


Disagree with how you want to lock in the team like this. As Cantab suggests the real way this team is going to move forward now is by maximising the talent, and there are plenty of other ways the forward pack could potential be improved, so it is going to need some creative and ingenuitive coaching if ABs are going to prove good enough anymore.

Yeah it was good to get Brodie and Sam out of the road, even Aaron was becoming a stagnant factor for the side. Just need a few more to go now.

It will be exciting but It'd be lucky to find replacements for Cane and Beauden who are better. Lol@the great Sader comment!

With four losses across the season and no Rugby Championship title to show for their efforts, the All Blacks aren’t currently the best team in the world.

No one really killed it more than they did so I'd actually saying they are the best team in the world. You have to think someone improves hugely next year though and I'd expect a lot more stagnation from the All Blacks great leap away from Foster's era.

2024 in review: Beauden Barrett’s brilliance sparks thrilling All Blacks win

Because Robertson is allergic to risk-taking. Perofeta and Plummer were never once trialled at First Five-Eight, Beauden was kept at Fullback for like half the season despite having close to ten players over the year who can play that position.

Which is why more depth needs development. There are are several players waiting in the mix who will be good to great ABs. Our bench replacements this year were not always up to the mark

Disagree.


The challenge for the All Blacks now that they have 7 of 8 starting forwards locked in and all but one bench forward (only one loose forward and bench loosie to settle on) is to sort out the starting backline as only 9 Roigard, 12 J. Barrett, 11 Clarke and 15 Jordan had good to outstanding seasons in 2024. All the other backs were inconsistent or poor and question marks going into 2025.
