I think we are very much in a rebuild
Yeah, big time. In Baxter’s interview regarding Bell, Fisilau, and Feyi-Waboso he said he’s most interested in young players as they haven’t won anything yet and so have the most ambition. Sounds like after winning Europe, the current squad went a bit stale and didn’t have much drive to do it again.

Is this the first time Watson’s played at full back for his club?😀

I hope these players have the same sort of impact as when we brought in Woodburn, Devoto and Waldrum :) under different circumstances ofcourse but all could have an impact and add alot our squad over the next few years.
 
Would an England midfield of Lawrence and Marchant ever work or are they too similar?
I think Lawrence at 12 only works if he’s playing regularly there for his club. Seeing as Bath have Redpath and Ojomoh, I don’t think he’ll ever see regular game time in that shirt while he’s there. England seem to produce a ton of promising 13s but really fail with 12s. I think we’re too impatient with them.

England produce plenty of good 12s.
They just decide to be Welsh or Scottish before they're ready for international rugby.
