Left Back Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 3 hours ago, Mark Connolly said: I'm sure the rumour was SA and Australia as the big two. Pretty sure Argentina have a full fixture list that doesn't include us. Actually think it would be great if one of them was against Portugal - an emerging nation, and something different to what we normally have. It's a shame the football team play Portugal in September and October, or it could have been a great wee November double header Would be surprised if SA don’t rock up. Have to be honest though I’m sick of the c***s getting a lead at Murrayfield then killing the game. Not the best to watch. Not sure if we can still class the Aussies as a big team. Someone like Portugal would give us more of a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 On 17/02/2024 at 11:37, honestly united said: Surely rather than sticking Dobie on the wing we must have some youngster that can play on the wing? Were only down McClean to injury and Jones and Tuipolotu in the centre and Rowe and Steyn of the back 3 to internationals in the backs arent we? Sorry for the late reply. Ollie Smith is injured but I'm excited by his return. I just hope he keeps up his form that he was enjoying. Dobie as a winger isn't a bad thing. Creating depth is great but versatility of positions throughout the squad is always handy when the internationalists are away or injuries hit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 16 hours ago, honestly united said: Im hoping some one can help (and too get in before the calcutta cup chat starts), I dont know if its just me but I cant seem to find anything on the autumn internationals - does anyone know who we are playing and when? I'm wondering if we're holding off until after the 6 Nations to announce autumn fixtures as there's still season pass-gate to be resolved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) Team for Saturday. Not a 6-2 bench split. I think Toony reckons we have the pace in the backs to win late on. Having Steyn and Kinghorn back is a boost and I can see Jamie Ritchie is back in favour... Edited February 22 by come on shire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it ever confirmed if Matt Fagerson was injured? Would be very surprised for him to have been dropped but that seems to be the rumours online. I’m disappointed England dropped Freddie Steward, Russell would really have got some joy with kicks in behind him. Now to spend all afternoon praying Z Fagerson can last 80…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be who Toony thinks what player's better for the tactics aimed at the individual team or what he sees in training. England are getting better. They're starting to grind out results even if not playing at their best. We saw that when they got bronze last year and now they're 2 from 2 in the 6N. The teams they've played in that time haven't been excellent but you can only play what's in front of you. If we play like we did against France or most of the 2nd half against Wales then we're in bother. However if we compete up front and take chances then we'll hopefully be ok.
