You'd hope the marketing people in the States could really take advantage of this fixture being on that date.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

It's why it's a massive shame it's not being played in America anymore.

Things must be grim behind MacGinty starting Luke Carty.

MacGinty injured on final day of the premiership. Olyy was gutted. Tbh it is a shame for him.

Anyway, no disrespect to the US team, but I don't feel EJ should start too many experience players. He could probably go with a similar team to the Scotland A match. Definitely don't want to see Furbank or Slade near the team.

 

[Geordie]

Agree...a few decent players (Peterson at lock is with us and i rate him very highly, yet Civetta the other lock is not even at Championship level) but i dont think Jones should be looking for loads of experienced guys out there.
The kids will have more than enough

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

No Dombrandt got me ****** off.

Slade's starting!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Justice for Kelly

 

[TommiG88]

I like that team. Shame about no Dombrandt but there's always next week. I don't expect to see the same next week

 

[Nudger]

Happy with that as long others get a run out v Canada

Slade's starting!

Lots of **** calls tbf,

Lots to be happy about, but lots of **** calls

 

[Groundhog]

Luke Carty is an international..... Bruh

 

[Geordie]

Wheres Radwan...?

Happy Chick is starting...and two more on the bench.

 

[Geordie]

Some curious calls.

Im assuming those who miss out this week....Dombrandt, Radwan etc will simply be picked next week v Canada....

When you assume you make an ass out of u and me

This is EJ we're on about

Very true...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I don't get the Ludlow love in, tbh

He's a good player, don't get me wrong, but starting and captaining?
I thought he'd be one of the ones trimmed after the Scotland 'A' game

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Was hoping for a more exciting younger centre partnership.
