England 2024/25

[Geordie]

Feyi Waboso shouldn't even remotely be considered...let him recover properly. As said above we have a clutch of very talented and young wingers.

Id go
11 OHC
14 Roebuck

9 JVP
10 Marcus
11 OHC
12 Dingwall
13 Beard
14 Roebuck
15 ? (Steward? Daly? A.n.Other)

Furbank'll be at 15 if he gets at least one full game under his belt
Not sure when he is due back though - last I heard his arm was just sore/needed some ice after his return but not seen him since

 

[Ddanno]

100% on IFW, apart from the other points (which are more important), if he's even fit what sort of form would he be in after almost 6 months out?

Last week he was said to be a doubt for any Summer involvement, His club certainly don’t sound keen on him going.

If the last ten minutes he spent on a pitch are any indication I doubt he'd be keen on going. He really hurt himself and was just about keeping it together. Bet that flared up horribly after a few hours :/

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Interesting, must've been much worse than they first thought

It'll be Steward, then - though hopefully they take both Carpenter and DeGlanville and one gets a shot

XV game will be interesting with some many unavailable, would've been good to see Hendy there - probably end up being Hodge

I heard he was out for the summer again due to the same broken arm being injured again. Needs to be confirmed though...that's why I didn't list him.

Can't think of many 15s though.

IF let's say the top 4 stays as predicted by Opta I'm hoping to see a XV of something like
1. Baxter
2. Langdon
3. Davison
4. Lockett
5. Coles
6. Kenningham
7. Pollock
8. Willis
9. Randall
10. M.Smith
11. Ibitoye
12. Dingwall
13. Beard
14. Elliot
15. David

16. Dan, 17. Iyogun, 18. Kloska
19. Tizard, 20. Fisilau
21. Porter, 22. Benson, 23. Hodge

 

[Ddanno]

Elliot and Kloska are bold calls. Lockets too actually. But you are a bit maverick so fair play, I wouldn't mind seeing it.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

If they're treating the XV game as an A game (not sure why it's not? Maybe because almost half the league is unavailable?) then Elliot fits the mould for that tbf
But then most of the rest of the side wouldn't fit the bill in that case

 

[Ddanno]

Langdon's never gonna get picked, be real Tigs

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

It's between him and Murley for me.
I think Elliot would be an interesting pick
In terms of Kloska who else is there at TH?

If Marcus is with the Lions I would start Benson and have IDK like Burke bench?

If Kpoku was fit and not needed by Racing for the relegation battle I would have him on the bench

I mean out of the players I listed only really Marcus, Dingwall and Baxter would be what I call England regulars so I feel fits a A league billing

 

[Ddanno]

Did Fisilau pick up an injury recently?

Yeah I think it's a closer to a Barbarians game/A fixture so I'm not expecting many capped players.

If the top 4 stays as is, I think it'll be more like:

1. Iyogun
2. Langdon
3. Fasogbon
4. Coles
5. Clark
6. Kenningham
7. Pearson
8. Dombrandt
9. Randall
10. Benson
11. Murley
12. S. Atkinson
13. Beard
14. Brown-Bampoe
15. Redshaw

16. Jibulu 17. Haffar 18. Davison 19. Lockett 20. Evans 21. Porter 22. C. Atkinson 23. Hodge

 

[BPM]

Did Fisilau pick up an injury recently?

Yes. Out of contention for the summer tour I believe.

Fordjour takes that spot...

 

[BPM]

I wonder if James Ramm is a wildcard possibility? Pretty sure he’s England qualified and playing well.

Not if Sale are in the play offs. Players from the top 4 are unavailable for the XV game.

Please no...I'd rather invest in Cleaves or Elliott.
Roebuck and OHC for the main games
