Oh, and Nick Smith of Quins is England’s attack coach. England have also decided that Olly Lawrence is the way forward at 12, attempting to replicate dynamic of the Smith-Esterhuizen axis at Quins. England have played their brief moments at their best when the ball has been quick, and the approach of speed being more important than shape is manna for Marcus. Leaving aside that there is a very daft compulsion in too many to malign Farrell, there is some merit in why Smith is preferred to him by Borthwick.
BACKLINE MKE FULL
After nearly eight full years, Owen Farrell will not start an England game he is fit and available for, and moreover the majority of the (mostly casual) watching public have their yearned for replacement: Marcus Smith. Replacements: Jack Walker, Mako Vunipola, Dan Cole, David Ribbans, Ben Curry, Alex Mitchell, Owen Farrell, Henry ArundellĪnd so it’s finally happened. Melvyn Jaminet, on of the stars of last year’s Grand Slam, returns to the substitutes.ĮNGLAND: Freddie Steward Max Malins, Henry Slade, Ollie Lawrence, Anthony Watson Marcus Smith, Jack van Poortvliet Ellis Genge (captain), Jamie George, Kyle Sinckler, Maro Itoje, Ollie Chessum, Lewis Ludlam, Jack Willis, Alex Dombrandt Anthony Jelonch is out of the rest of the tournament with injury, so Francois Cros starts at 6. Dorian Aldegheri will start with Sipili Falatea among the replacement. In addition to Danty’s return forcing Yoram Moefana the sidelines, France have the problem of two tight-head props being banned after Uini Atonio and Mohamad Houas’ recent head-jinks. The Smith/Farrell news has been covered, and elsewhere all is the same for England except for the bench, where the injured Courtney Lawes is replaced by his Saints team-mate Dave Ribbans.
