Hasn’t played to good high level game in months!

IMO there are only 3 players I think are sure to start the 1st Test if fit Furlong Itoje and Sexton

But Wade would have s ored an electric try already and the score board would read 7-0 to England.
The anti-Wade theory doesn’t stack up as those sorts of tries don’t come around often whereas ball in hand running rugby type tries (wade eat your heart out) occur more often

particularly in the back row and outside backs
lots of room to tailor a team to any number of play styles

I couldn’t pick North, bless his mushy head
I just want him to have a break

I could have had Keelan Giles in there but put him as a bolter instead due to a lack of caps.

Also it made me smile to include him in the list, would make me laugh if he started picking up votes too
