No real issues with the squad, gotta be frustrating missing out on a tour for a banned player though - even if you would just be holding the tackle bags that he is
They should make it so a banned player can't be in a squad tbh, even if they get unbanned mid series, name them at that point
Money?Still an impressive squad to pick with what 22 players out with Lions and injury.
Still gonna argue why the RFU went for such a tough series even a year ago when it announced when all the other home nations have gone with tier 2 teams.
We've toured Argentina during the lions for ages, like 3 or 4 previous tours
Your both probably right did it during Lions tours before and money.Money?
It really isn't. Perhaps they weren't top 5. But they've been highly competitive for a good while now. I don't think they've been lower than 7th in the past 10yrs and we're usually talking about ranking points for 1 or 2 results being the difference between 5th and 7th.Your both probably right did it during Lions tours before and money.
On previous tours its a little different now, Argentina weren't a top 5 team then. England second string could in compete with them but not now. I personally wouldn't have done it.
Yeah that's what I thoughtFFS, that means Asher covering loosehead
Tbh England have seemed to see him as a LH option a number of times. Wouldn't be surprised to see itThough tbf, it's a short tour - so long as there's no injuries or ****les two looseheads should be enough
Start Baxter vs Argentina, start Rodd vs USA
Two of Heyes/Davison/Asher for the tighthead shirts, Fasogbon there to hold tackle bags.
Asher will probably have to train at loosehead but hopefully won't have to play there
I do worry about player safety under those circumstances.Literally only played there once at senior level![]()
