JUst watch the U20s beat Italy, was very ragged in places but Harry Mallinder was 2-3 levels above anyone else on the pitch, I reckon he'll be in the full squad for the 6N, he's such a fantastic talent, big, quick, strong, good hands, great kick, runs solid lines and is generally a very smart player. He's got it all to be a genuinely world class 12.

Interesting selection for first Test. Surprised to see Yarde start, but good opportunity for Burrell. Not shocked to see Ford dropped for Farrell. Shame there's no involvement for Slade.
There must be a reason for Yarde over Nowell considering the latter performed well and is a great finisher. Carrying a knock? Jones thinks that more outright speed from yarde against his marker will suit England in this game? maybe he wants Yarde to do a lot of running and then when the Aussie defence are tired to bring on Nowell who can finish well against a tiring defence? There must be a plan.As for 6 and 7 maybe Jones thinks they deserve a game after being part of a Grand Slam winning team just 3 or so months ago. It sends the wrong message. We're good enough for Northern hemisphere rugby but not against teams from the South. First-half first test and they should be okay and any player being completely dominated can be replaced and we go from there. The only other one I'm not particularly keen on is Mako V. I don't think he's good enough in the scrum.
