What do we make of no wing cover on the bench?
I don't mind JJ being in the 23 because he's been in really good form, but if, say, Watson goes down injured it'll be either Slade to 15 or JJ to 14, which could leave us defensively vulnerable, especially to kicks. I think I'd have had Nowell on the bench.
If this was the first choice 23 all along then it really raises a question over what someone like McConacchie is doing in the squad when there are two wingers ahead of him not getting a game.
Players left out of the 23: Singleton, Genge, Launchbury, Wilson, Francis, Nowell, Cokanasiga, McConacchie.
