Wales player ratings vs England | 2023 Summer Nations Series

England will be third in the 6N behind France and Ireland. The RC will be a lot closer than you think. Don’t be surprised if Australia pulls ahead of NZ.

MAAAA!

I'd like see the young fullbacks play fullback, and so Jordan cover on the wing instead. Even seeing Reiks on the other wing would be cool, Reece can go back on the bench if theres even room for him there.

So preferably it would be ALB and second five where he came of the bench in the weekend and was great. He's a bit slow on the play for outside center but looks like he might need to play there if we need wingers.

Cane really sounds like he'll bit fit, is he going to want to play? I'd really like to see Kirifi earn a cap if Lakai was the only 7 (Ardie has to be all used up/finished for the year). Which young lock are we going to see come in?

No team lists here, that's kid games...

I get it, but at least your coach was a winner, right? Ours was hopeless, Rennie took over his Super team and immediately won two Championships. I might not be the best judge as it was my team but they were perennial underachievers under Foster. In any case, it's the best you've got (unlike in NZ's case), so try and get on board. Have faith that SB will be flexible enough to improve his personal if needed.

This surely has to be the best playing English side to follow in a long long time (well fans might need some more obvious proof come 6N time), so what are you waiting for?

PS: just gone through the last couple of decades results, particular the scorelines, and Eddie Jones era is far and away better than anybody else. You must have scored nearly twice the amount of tries per game as SL did.

So you're quite right, it was pointless to make as much out of it as this author did. The same pretty much goes for 2 years prior as well, because that's obviously before the above happened. NZ were at least trying very hard in that game, and although it needed some Ntamack magic at the end, France looked pretty comfortable, or should I say, NZ very poor. That picture obviously turned around this year, but still with that fabulous French flair scoring some crazy tries to win it again.
