Argentina vs England - 12/07/25

[Geordie]

Well there's some good coaches there and they must have an input so we see how Northmore goes. But yes I'll echo i wouldn't have chosen him.

 

[Scotty]

I do wonder if SB is avoiding Ojomoh because he will be behind Lawrence at Bath soon as he's back but then it hasn't stopped hi. Using Dan.

Could just be as simple as that Borthwick doesn’t really see Ojomoh as a 13 (I’m not sure I do either).

At 13, yes. But on form from 2nd half of the season he'd be first choice 12

Not sure about that TBH, I think Atkinson’s form over an extended period justifies him getting the chance at 12. I would have liked to have seen Ojomoh at 13 though.

Curious to know how others feel about today's game.

First and foremost, I hope we have taken confidence from last week and go into the game with the right mindset. One of our weaknesses is failing to put together consecutive good performances (although arguably we did that at the end of the 6N?) and I don't want anyone to be thinking 'one win is good enough'.

I could live with a defeat if we play very well, but as I've said all week, I think a 2-0 series win could be very important in the development curve of this group of players.

My prediction is probably a narrow defeat, but I hope I'm wrong. We'll see.

Which bit?
Which post, for that matter?

Eh? It was a direct response to your comment on Ojomoh being the 'form 12 in the second half of the season'.

I don't disagree with that, I just think Atkinson's form across the whole season makes his selection well deserved.

I didn't quote the post because I thought it was obviously a response to the preceding comment.

Think Which Tyler was saying that on form he’d be 1st choice 12 at Bath. Nothing about him being the form 12 in the Prem.

Ah - fair enough

Exactly this - as that was the conversation that was being had yesterday.

He'd have a shout for being in better form than Atkinson over the 2nd half of the season - but it's far from clear, and I certainly wouldn't select him ahead of Atkinson at 12 at this point

Nah, **** that
If they're injured then sub them off

Stop trying to add more delays to the game

George to lions, Dan to start, Langdon to bench.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Lineout to head for disaster.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

They couldn't wait for a few hours?

Delighted for Langdon but very nervy about Dan

 

[Crash Hamster]

I'd rather start with Langdon, TBF...

 

[BPM]

100% should be Langdon starting. Dan is only a justifiable selection as an impact sub IMO.

This. Sheehan and Kelleher will be 2 and 16 so why rush flying over a 3rd choice?

Yeah wtaf. Guess they didn't want to risk George picking up a knock but I care far more about England than the Lions
