Thoughts?Apart from no Itoje, I like that team
As has been said other than Itoje I don't mind that. I'd also prefer Daly at full back but hey ho.

I have to say that a backline of Youngs, Farrell, Daly, Te'o, Joseph, Watson, Brown looks strong on paper.

I suspect Watson on one wing is set in stone with Nowell/Solomona fighting for the other spot, along with a few of the kids (Earle and Cokanasiga both look exceptional talents).

I think Farrell will be first choice ten from this point on, especially if both him an Te'o have a good series.

I think England comfortably have the best two fly halfs in the Northern Hemisphere
Its hard to say long term. For the autumn internationals and the 6 nations I can't see Eddie Jones moving away from Ford at 10 and Farrell at 12.They have consistently played brilliantly in that combo
