Wouldnt want to write him off after one cap.

He deserves the opportunity in Argentina.
Jack Nowell? Murley would run round the entire pitch before Nowell got form on touchline to the other. He's rapid.

Murley is strong too, sure. But they are utterly different players.

If I was going to compare any of our current wingers to Nowell it would be Muir - and it's not a good likeness

Plenty not nailed on, but taking it out as far as I can think in each position, with what looks like the current pecking order

Surely Northmore ahead of Beard. And probably Daly ahead of Carpenter? CCS likely ahead of Clark for lock position too.

Got to cut 9 of that 45 to make a 36 man autumn internationals squad. Lawrence won’t be available and hopefully we move on from Slade which would be 2.

Will have some injuries too but could have some folks start the season really well too.

Will be interesting- options are gearing up well and we’ve won 6 on the bounce.

Most won’t agree but since the start of the World Cup, for me there has been only 3 worrying performances. Scotland away, Australia home and Scotland home.

Australia home was poor selection from Borthwick seeing us end up with a CCS, Earl, Dombrandt back row- he seems to have realised his error there. Scotland home we found a way to win.

Other than that we’ve had a load of good performances and close shaves and we’ve now won our last 2 tight games against France and Argentina.

4 wins in the autumn please.

P.S. the rankings calculation confuses the hell out of me but we should be close to France when they come out tomorrow and they have NZ again next week.

We'll be level with France if NZ give them a(nother) bloody nose next week

You pushed

I've edited though, and taken beyond 3 each. Still only counting any one player once though.

Australia home was a bit of a freak one, I just don't think anyone expected them to show up like that. But really annoying after we'd choked against nz the week before.

Shame we haven't seen Hill against meaningful opposition. Would have liked to have seen kenningham too, yesterday did show a bit of a lack of turnover threat.
