England Name Team for ANC Final
The England Rugby squad is so consistent, that this is the easiest article to draft every week! We can pretty much guarantee every pick in every position; the only time it throws us off, is when Ford gets plonked back at stand off. The bench is really what we look forward to writing about; the depth and spiciness of that back row flavour would make an Italian chef salivate. What made this team even more interesting is the dropping of Willis... Again..? Makes little to no sense to us, we love Earl but he didn't seem the preferred option in the last two games; maybe it's an attacking choice? Great to see Malins back and more balanced bench, that might also suggest why Willis is back at Wasps. No Lawrence, Ford still at 10, looks like we have an identical line-up to last week barring Joseph's exclusion! What are your thoughts?
