Why England's defence of the realm has crumbled without Felix Jones

You’d hope so. The A game is good for the guys close to selection.


Must say I didn’t think Tom was a standout in the A game but it’s the only game I’ve watched him this season that he wasn’t.


Luke Reimer was a clear MoM from our perspective - hard to believe Tizzano, for all his effort, is considered a better option to back up FMR. He’s a world class breakdown threat, he’s a powerful defender, and his carrying has really stepped up.

I would argue that Pearson and Willis are elite. The Willis in France, even better. Pollock is exciting. Could be anything.


I’d pick Pearson ahead of Earl and the Curry’s. Bigger and more physical than Earl, more skilled than Curry(s).

France put World Cup pain behind them with unbeaten run in November

to help the referee's decision, it seems he also deliberately push the ball directly in touch. But already the first yellow card and some penalties showed a lack of discipline.

Four talking points as England resist wholesale change versus Japan

"Shrewd move" to find a replacement for Cole. Are you joking! Only Borthwick could fail to find the obvious.

Rassie Erasmus holds the solution to England's Jamie George conundrum

At present the captain goes off because he isn't fit enough and getting too old to last a full game.

The team is then run by committee of 3 or is it 4 vice captains .

England keep losing in the last quarter .

Doesn't the problem shout out that we need a captain who can last a full game .

If Wales don't show up, this match has the potential to get pretty bad.

I thought Argentina were unlucky with Luke Pearce's decision for the penalty try. Clearly the ball did travel toward the Argentina try line after it was flapped at by the Argentine player although his hand motion was going the other way. Thus the result was that he slowed it down rather than deliberately knocked it on whatever his actual intention was. Playing with 14 for 20 minutes in the first half was too big a handicap.

As above he went to improve himself and that's exactly what he did. Don't take my word for it, read Skelton's own words.

It's well documented that Saracens was the first time Skelton was asked to get properly fit enough to play the game https://www.rugbypass.com/news/it-was-a-light-bulb-moment-will-skelton-reveals-exactly-how-he-went-from-148kg-to-135kg/


If he didn't he'd be out on the street, and to his credit he made himself a better player than he'd ever been at home.

It's hard to advance beyond the 'nonsense' sadly RW. JW won't ever give the NH credit, so he masks his bile as back-handed compliments - 'oh the England D is as good as ever, but Aussie and SA have improved and the holes were always there!'. Tripe.

Woryy not Tom, he cannot help it. NH slights are hard-wired into JW's psyche!

England well-stocked in the back-row aren't they DM? Ben Earl has not been carrying quite as effectively at 8 of late so PEarson may come into the equation for the 6N.
