@crucial Yeah, but Maro Itoje is stil there.....
I didn't say it had died out altogether!
There's something about Farrell that gets to me as well. I can never pinpoint it.
Mind you, if Ashton gets to do one of his dorky swan dives...... -

@sparky said in 2018 November Internationals:
20 year-old Tom Curry's the only player there remotely like an Openside Flanker.
Yep, all the others are basically 6s. Yeah Mercer has played a lot of 8 but not so much at senior level and he's not been tearing the place up. Wilson has been solid and has a bit of dog about him. Shields has done sweet FA in the UK and hardly shone in SA during the summer. We've left our best available 8 (Morgan) and 7 (Underhill) out altogether. Curry aside we've gone for biggish, slowish munters. Oh and we've been mullered at the breakdown for a season and a half.
Fuck. Just, fuck.

So, will it be Ford/Farrell or Farrell/12/Tuilagi
No way Tuilagi is not turning out at 13. Eddie has been dying to have him back.
A lot of love in the press for a Farrell/Slade/Tuilagi.
Farrell, Te'O, Tuilagi

Hopefully not. Put Slade in at 12, he's got a very good cut out pass which will be the only way the wingers will see the ball if Tuilagi is at 13...

Eddie playing the percentages

No Mike Brown?
That takes the hateability factor down a notch.
I'm guessing that means we get to see Ashton at fullback. This could be hilarious, can't wait.

I used to find that sort of comment funny.

@mikethesnow Jack Nowell can also play fullback but Elliott Daly is the more likely bet.
England's backline strategy looks to be powerful guys in the midfield, fast men outside them.

Love it when Nonu 'playfully' punches him.....
BTW some pretty good play in there from Nonu. Maybe he's not so much a geriatric as the Blues fans are saying?
-
Yeah, there seems to be a bit more than playfulness in Nonu's fist....
Mate's a Scarlet's supporter and reports that, when they played Toulon, Nonu is/was still outstanding on and off the field.
Spent ages with Llanelli fans after the game, posing for selfies and chatting to all and sundry - unlike the French international who was more interested in getting to the food than chat to the locals.
