Wouldn't surprise me if he captains.

It's an A game vs amateur players (Portugal aren't sending any of their pro players) - if our guys need Ewels there to hold their hands then we're beyond hope
It's inevitable though, really
I am excited about Ojomoh (hopefully) being involved though
Hard to pick a side from the team announced, feels pretty unbalanced - lots of 8s, lots of wings, not a lot of 6s or 13s
Maybe something like:
Baxter, Blamire, Heyes
Tuima, Ewels,
Isiekwe, Pearson, Barbeary
Randall, Atkinson
OHC, Hartley, Ojomoh, Murley
Hodge
Blake, Haffar, Iosefa-Scott, Tuima, Fisilau, Englefield, Shillcock, Ma'asi-White
That's trying to be realistic with it, for me I'd rather a Pearson/Pepper flanker pairing, Tuima start and Bamber bench, Harper on the bench and Ioasefa-Scott not in the side (really weird player to be poaching), and Riley over Blake (think the Gloucester connection will win him that coin toss)
