Keep Earl quiet and England lose 9 times out of 10
But give Ben Earl time and space and he's outstanding.
Absolutely
He’s the first name on the team sheet

Ewells will be out now. Complete wankstain.
Read that he's played a total of 16 minutes in an England shirt for 2 Red Cards.

An error strewn and indisciplined display by England was far too good for the Brave Blossoms as Marcus Smith and his back-row shone in the heat of Tokyo to deliver a 52-17 win in England’s first-ever Test against Japan in the capital city.
Eight tries from the visitors including a full house from the starting loose forwards probably flattered England but their physicality and ability to stay in the fight was a testimony to the spirit in the side. But indiscipline littered their display as they haemorrhaged 16 penalties, struggled greatly around the breakdown for the first half of the match, and conceded both a yellow and red card, spending most of the second half with 14 players on the pitch.

@Machpants the more they love Smith, the more pleased I am. A poor man's Mounga

He's a talent, but flaky. A lot is going to depend on how decent a platform he gets from his forwards.

You just said the exact same thing as me while quoting my post.

Nah. I was more eloquent.

I'll just leave this here.
Wallaby Darcy Swain banned for six weeks for ruck incident against New Zealand
Swain will miss Australia’s next three internationals following the incident in which All Black Quinn Tupaea suffered a serious knee injury
-
Apart from Ewels, obviously
England plan same starting XV for New Zealand opener in drive for consistency
England are keen to name an unchanged starting line-up for the first Test against New Zealand with Marcus Smith set to stay at fly-half

I just don't know how Eddie keeps getting these cushy coaching jobs.

Based on today’s performance against Japan
England 10-12-13 channel is porous
Keep Earl quiet and England lose 9 times out of 10
Big drop off in quality and accuracy when England bring on the bench
can just see a hard running sotutu going straight through them now.....oh wait

I see your Sotutu and raise you a Savea and throw in a Sititi for good measure!

That’s pretty cool. I wonder how much the English players may know about Michael Jones.
I’m not sure if current ABs met a Peter Winterbottom they would know him or hold him in high regard?
