See this is the most frustrating thing... Slade for example has been playing brilliantly for Exeter, constantly breaking the line, great passes taking out opposition players and incisive kicks. But for England, he is chasing kicks and hitting Rucks, might as well just play another couple of second rows in the centres at the moment.
I don’t think any Sarries players should have started, they have had zero game time.

I don't know if this is a serious question but come on now!! They have all had international performances that would see them walk into any team (see the quarter final against Australia in 2019) and i reckon they'd make every international squad, at least one of them probably making every international starting team, depending on the incumbents... Yeah they weren't able to get into the game much yesterday but i don't believe you're seriously saying they're crap?
I really struggle with Eddie Jones selection at times, I understand that he picks people who have done a job for him in the past, but he seems to completely ignore form.
I mean I might be slightly biased as a chiefs fan, but can anyone say that Vunipola was better than anything Sam Simmonds has done this year??
And where are the wasps players?
I think our 9-10 axis is incredibly predictable and quite frankly boring. I would love to see both Joe Simmonds and Marcus Smith given a go, completely different players, but both of them have a Plan A and B.
And genuinely why do we even bother having centres and wingers when we attack? Their job seems to be just to chase overcooked box kicks.
The thing is there is no way that Jones will change, he is too stubborn for it.
