I would not have predicted that team in a million years.
I guess Genge over Marler is due to lack of training.
Surprised by Isiekwe, but guess he has been playing well.
Amazed he picked Simmonds over Dombrant (and that’s coming from a chiefs fan!)
Don’t get why Marchant is on the wing, if you want a physical winger, why not play Nowell who is you know an actual winger?
10-12-13 of Smith, Slade and Daly is certainly ball playing… wonder if Marchant and Daly will interchange lots.

He can't help himself. He has to have at least one player out of position, just so it looks like he's doing something radical.
Isiekwe is an excellent 5 1/2 - expect him to move out to the flank, if there are any injuries. Saints fans will tell you all about his influence last season too. Proper workrate and engine too.
Pack is certainly mobile, but lightweight for the setpiece I fear.
I don't get Ewels. Please someone explain why him over, George Martin, Harry Wells, Dave Ribbans, Joe Launchbury, the King of Southmead, etc...
And I'm afraid the Daly at 13 ship has sailed for me. I thought Atkinson would work very well with Smith and Slade then gets his best position outside.

Absolutely, I guess the only explanation is that Nowell is still playing himself into form? Eddie picking a side on form is certainly a surprise.
