England name 30-man U20s squad to play Oxford University

I’m not sure what that paragraphs about? If it’s along the same lines as mine, “razor is talking bs” then I full endorse your sentiment lol

I’ve suggested to Spew in another article, its not the lack of ball carries, its the lack of intelligence carrying the ball. That’s the whole system. Fix the style and the exact same people carrying the ball will suddenly be world beaters imo. Definitely the work on area imo too.

Crowd draw? You mean how much are the drawing? Not much, camera setups are making it look better than it is (it’s still better though). Moana is the big change with more than one person in the seats now.

I’m definitely in the ‘Love is nowhere near ready’ camp though, so fairly opinionated on this one.

I can go back earlier to Fosters hesitancy to use the younger brigade but I don’t see what it has to do this topic. A few of the players have already been through this transition I suggest Jordan is going through, with the likes of Barrett and Rieko in midfield still not having come to grips with the ‘small windows’ of execution at test level, but I wouldn’t call Razor moving Jordan to fullback a baffling decision.

Just checking Will’s plays/stats and he’s passing the ball 15% more than he did in 2023 (SR) and kicking half as much (which means he’s carrying into contact slightly less. He’s finding himself using the ball differently, and likely in different circumstances/situations/positions than before. Lets hope he gets to grip with it better than the other examples. I like those changes if he can make it work.

Were do you see ruck improvement happening, law application or law change?
