[QUOTE="Not Eddie Jones, post: 1016704, member: 81025"] While I agree in principle, in practice, my heart can't take another game like that 2019 one. :oops: And if you're right and the fault lines are still there, that, together with the fact it's our opening game, our Sarries contingent is possibly undercooked, there's no home crowd, the weather is dodgy and Scotland are a good side with dangerous runners and a strong scrum, makes me think that boring, defensive, kick-heavy, forward-led, low risk, result-is-all-that-matters rugby is the sensible way to go. With that in mind, I think Eddie will stick with what he knows, including a 6-2 split on the bench. I'm thinking: 1. Genge 2. George 3. Stuart 4. Itoje 5. Lawes 6. Curry 7. Wilson 8. Binny 9. Youngs 10. Ford 11. May 12. Farrell 13. Slade 14. Watson 15. Daly 16. LCD 17. Obano 18. Williams 19. Hill 20. Earl 21. Willis 22. Robson 23. Lawrence Possibly swap Lawrence and Slade, but I'll be surprised if its much different from that. [/QUOTE]
