International Rugby

I’m there too.  God knows how long since my last international.  To be honest I can only afford it when invited through work associations, …and plan to fill my boots.

Odd how Freeman can play centre for England but isn’t ready for Saints.

Didn’t he play at the weekend for Saints?

Possibly. Missed the game.  Last I saw was an interview saying he was playing there in training.

Sorry misread your comment - He definitely plays, but saint play him on the wing or 15.  I don’t think Saints think he is ready to play centre.

He scored 4 tries looking at it!

He was exceptional at the weekend, one of the best performances you'll ever see from a winger. But it was a wingers performance, not a centres. I think he can be a very good 13 but we risk giving up a generational talent on the wing to get that.

Personally I'd be starting Dingwall and Lawrence and if that doesn't work for the autumn I'd give Ojomoh a go. Only after that would I look at Freeman, and I'd be keeping an eye on a few others in the meantime.

England have some serious talent on the wing.
