Nice to see some names like Jack Willis and Jonny Hill in the main squad and Velacott and Schoenert in the training squad. Interesting he’s talked about Cipriani at full back too – if I recall that’s where he won his caps under Lancaster. Solomona.
Of those missing out i think Armand, Ross, Graham, Trinder, Woodward and Wade have all made good cases to be included.
I think some of these young guys selected for the tour need the experience of playing top level international rugby in a tough environment. It’s an odd squad overall, doesn’t feel altogether a logical progression from where England have been going (although you could also say that the 6N meant some drastic surgery was required). Singapore Sevens Official Ticket Packages, Anthony Joshua v Jarrell Miller Travel and Ticket Packages. Would love to be wrong…, I agree that EJ has lost his way One glaring mistake Picking one dimensional Mike Brown instead of the Hugely talented Jason Woodward.
There is no prospect that he will be starting or on the bench at the World Cup, so why pick him now, particularly as EJ has spent the past few months grooming Marcus Smith. How can Mako not be fatigued. It has been said before that his teams all follow the same trajectory – a brief blaze of glory before collapsing in a heap. Both prop positions appear to be up for grabs, as is hooker.
Agree with a lot of this. Billy V, 9. Simmonds, 21. – The back-five has a lot of new faces and there looks to be a good blend to make up the backrow. However, England have been rejuvenated under the leadership of Eddie Jones, and have won their last five Tests in the southern hemisphere.
None of the Quins players deserve to be on the tour on current form and we have picked three mercenaries.
Also, a few of the players not considered because of fatigue have surely played far less rugby than Mako has this season! Obano and Hepburn might rightly feel a bit peeved. Also I am interested to track the players who ‘have played there last game for England’ as Eddie put it. Why not give him a rest and take Obano or Hepburn in his place?
Compare this with Schmidt or even Gatland where the players know exactly what is required of them and new players slot in almost seamlessly. Alternatively you can simply use our on line enquiry form. Overall I don’t mind the team however there are a couple choices I am puzzled by: 1) Cameron Redpath?? Hoping Robson and Spencer both get a chance to prove themselves. Redpath is also eligible for Scotland and France, I’d guess that’s probably why (if I’ve got my cynical hat on)…, When he comes on in the 79th minute of the final test, your insight will be rewarded . Now, either because of injuries or fatigue 20 players are not available. Teo was poor in the 6N imo – Back-3 only has one real replacement for Brown, who has had a very poor season. I fancy we will get a proper stuffing and see no way that a World Cup winning side is likely to arise from the ashes unless there starts to be some consistency in selection.
What really worries me though is that if you looked at the England squad a year ago you could have inked in eight or nine names. He is nog good enough in the tight to do that. LCD, Genge, Sinkler, Isiekwe, Willis, Robson, Cips, Solomona. I like the squad a lot, wouldn’t have mind seeing more rested but outside of that I can’t argue with the picks.
I don’t; I’m hoping he can not because he’s playing for Wasps the day before in the Prem final! Personally I’d like to see a team of young hopefuls and if they get beaten then so be it. Daly 16. T’eo, 13. Slade, 14. I suspect (and hope) Robshaw is only there for experience and maybe to help drive some of the younger players as agree the last thing he needs is to start three tests! The one thing which really disappoints me about this squad is that so many Lions players have been included and yet some have been ruled out due to fatigue? think you got the wrong word there?? Ben Earl too. You can’t magically turn Lozowski or Slade into a beefy carrier. One early injury and the pack is down the tubes. That really is a bolter of a selection. To make it even more special, England under the guidance of Eddie Jones, could very well be travelling to the Rainbow Nation as the worlds number one International Rugby Union Team. I’d have had Cokanasiga in as otherwise it’s still a very lightweight backline; he keeps saying he wants to find more bulk but then keeps picking the same sort of players.

Supporters Tours, Tailor-made Supporters Packages Old Mutual Wealth Series International match between England and Australia on November 18, 2017 at Twickenham Stadium in London, England. "Our history against England goes back more than a century and we are looking forward to welcoming them back to South Africa next year in what promises to be a tough tour. Isiekwe, 6.
Why not choose a young 10 that is actually getting game time like Marcus Smith or Joe Simmonds. Mako, 18. Weakest area to me looks the back three. A tour of SA used to be one of the highlights of a player´s career. Earle, 15. Will add a different dimension to the backline (a real gamechanger). Launchbury and Itoje are probably favourites for second row with plenty of back up in Lawes, Isiekwe and Slater.
No guarantee that BV will either last the pace or get back to best form before the world cup, so the back row appears as unbalanced and undecided as ever. Genge, 2. News. The fact that he’s only picked five outside backs means he probably will be starting! Wilson, 7. Cant quite see how Nathan Earle is a better bet than Wade, or even Yarde or Lewington.
Elsewhere some really exciting picks, especially in the forwards: Curry, Earl and Simmonds could all add some scorching pace to the back row, while Willis brings some proper breakdown nause. Mako and Itoje must also be knackered. Although the dates and match schedules are yet to be announced, we are now inviting people to advance register their interest with us early so that they will receive updated information as soon as it becomes available. Some of our other supporters tours that may be of interest to you. Hill, 20. The combination of this squad and the training squad suggests that EJ has no more idea of what his best team might be than the rest of us. Apologies for the negativity!! Mercer a bit unlucky too. Is he really ahead of B Curry? Actually after much consideration I would start with Spencer partnered with Farrell and have the Wasps duo on the bench.
Think Robshaw, M Vunipola and Itoje could all have done with a rest though, can’t believe EJ has gone for so many quins that are in horrendous form for club and country over the likes of Joe simmonds, morgan, obano, woodward, graham & trinder. Like all of Eddie’s squads, there are reasons to cheer, along with selections that leave you wondering what is his thinking. Who does the second Sinkler play for Jacob? 2. Cipriani, 23. However Quins have been awful and coupled with the 6N I suppose Eddie had no choice but to finally give Robson a shot. Poor in the 6N, poor club form and getting too long in the tooth to continue. Robson, 10. England squad for South Africa Tour Backs, England training squad, Brighton (week commencing 14 May) Backs. Test Match Dates:9th June 2018 - 1st Test: South Africa v England Emirates Airline Park, Johannesburg.16th June 2018 - 2nd Test: South Africa v England Toyota Stadium, Bloemfontein.23rd June 2018 - 3rd Test: South Africa v England DHL Newlands, Cape Town. He’s only had about three weeks off since the beginning of the 2016/2017 season? Eddie Jones has named the England squad to tour South Africa this summer for a 3-Test series. including Game Reserves options. England have confirmed they will head to South Africa for a three Test tour in June 2018 as they step up their preparations for the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Add to that the fact that the training squad in Brighton is a mish-mash of tourists and the unselected rather than being seen as an opportunity to get as many of the squad together as possible, and that the Premiership final is so late that players will not get a proper rest before they get on the plane and you have a recipe for disaster. And then Eddie criticising the English players for being selfish with talk of Gustard going to Quins…all of this giving the same feel as the Six nations that he is losing the dressing room. Curry, 8.
