England Training Squad
« on: Monday 04-Mar-2019, 16:00* »
No Mike Brown, unbelievable.
I think EJ has told him once that he can walk on water, he might e considered again.
At least Chris Robshaws performances have been recognised.

Brown will be back come the RWC; there's no other experienced fullback in the wider squad.
The interesting question is where Robshaw fits relative to the other back rowers. I would argue that he might have made a difference last week... but whether Shields and Wilson are now ahead of him isn't very clear.

Wilson is ahead of Robshaw and deserves to be first choice.  I would guess 6 BR for the world cup

Wilson and Robshaw/Sheilds
Underhill and Curry
Billy V and Hughes (Although I must say, Ben Morgan looks to be playing really well at the moment, if either of these two get injured

Luckily for Quins Jones has overlooked the form player this season Dombrandt, by far and away the best English back row at the moment

You'd also be able to make a case that Marchant should be in the squad given the form he's been in this season.

You have to give up this fantasy. Eddie isn't keeping Brown under wraps, he's made his decision and he's sticking to it come hell or high water.

I fear you may be right, but it does seem very very strange!

Robshaw has a much better chance than Brown I think

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Brown is going to the World Cup, watch this space
