Tbh I could see both Mercer and Dombrandt being in the same RWC squad,
I reckon Mercer starts the first warm up at the least - could even see him getting a game, or at least some time, at 6
Really awkward position in the backrow going into the warmups with players coming back from injury (Curry), players now available (Mercer), players unavailable for training camp (Willis)
We've got four games to find our first choice backrow and get them all singing from the same hymn sheet
Baring in mind Borthwick was forwards coach in 2019, so would have had an input into the touring makeup, we took:
Curry
Ludlam
Underhill
Vunipola
Wilson
I could see this time being:
Curry
Ludlam
Willis
Dombrandt
Mercer
