Yeah. Tuipolotu is definitely one to watch. As you say, Dunn and Frost are decent but not impossible to leapfrog.

Appalling England complaint upheld by World Rugby as investigation emerges
World Rugby probed the claims made by England players in the match against Argentina but were unable to find the culprits
Disgusting, shame they couldn't identify who it was

Argentina haven’t covered themselves in glory in recent years, both in football and rugby.

I'm sure it was all just a cultural misunderstanding and really those fans were being polite and friendly.Appalling England complaint upheld by World Rugby as investigation emerges

Well Pablo Matera is their most capped player and got away very lightly from his racism controversy. Seems to be quite endemic.

Suprised we haven’t had their minster or sport or even president defending it p.
Being serious I reckon Faz will win the league with Sarries and he will get called into the squad and prob take the 22 short for the 6N’s

I think there’s a very decent chance of him coming back in at 12.
10. F. Smith
12. Faz
23. M. Smith
in a 6:2 split.

Let's hope not, eh?
Honestly I think Marcus shouldn't be in the 22 atm, messing him about between 10 and 15 isn't helping him at all and he's been poor this Lions tour
It's time for one more run of 10. Ford 12. Farrell

12 Atkinson and I will brook no suggestions that former England internationals should be recalled...
Or if not, then at least Dingwall or Ojomoh - but yeah, Seb should be first choice

There are lots of emerging talents to keep an eye on but for the most part now we don’t really need much new blood, it’s more about harnessing what we have rather than muddying the waters with yet more new faces. Two I’ll paying close attention to:
One back: Atkinson for obvious reasons.
One forward: Willis. He’s already in the side and has been steadily finding his feet and if he kicks on I think he can become massively influential.

Finn Smith also been poor imo. Feels like he’s been very average since the champions cup final.
I think he's had a couple of decent bench appearances this tour but generally agree - his form has dropped quite a lot
I was joking about Farrell but I would be looking at having Ford at 10 in the AIs, with F.Smith on the bench

Yep but for him and Pollock and others the length of season, number of big games and pressure will have been totally alien territory. Great learning experiences for them and they’ll ultimately be better for it, but the surprise would have been if they had retained peak form.
