If England are to play a 10man kicking game, then pick, Spencer, a bigger back row, a back three that can catch and a coupe of bruisers in midfield.
If you are going to play fast, pick 3 7s, a speedster wing, a play making midfield.
Not sure Borthwick has a plan. Who we pick and how we play seems at odds.
Normal People on @netflix Brilliantly written, shot and acted. What a rollercoaster - epic story telling - wow, wow, wow 😢👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Back home reflecting on @SaintsRugby game. Best team won on the day - more aggressive at the breakdown & better at punching holes. Injuries at the start didn’t help - changed Saints shape & game plan. The ref - poor -I’m being generous. Finally pride - to a man, fought to the end
Who’s round is it? With @BBCSportNhants for the big match. On the air from 10am at the Blue Bell, on the High Street - by the Castle. Come and join us for a pre match chat. COYS 😇@GrahamMcKechnie @LennieNewman1 @BBCNorthampton @SaintsRugby
So my @SaintsRugby Lions predictions are Freeman (banker) Finn Smith (played himself on the plane yesterday), Mitchell, and Pollock (just gets better & better) - cant see how he’s left out. Oh and Lawes (lions experience + still cutting it). I’m still counting him as a Saint 🦁💪🏻
I thought George Fords cameo for @EnglandRugby yesterday was excellent. The forgotten man; but a timely reminder how good he can be in an attacking team. I know @SBarnesRugby will agree 😉
A big game from @SaintsRugby @TommyFreemo15 at 13 today surely sees him on the @lionsofficial trip to Aus🤞🏻
I don’t want to say this for the players, but I wish England had lost to France and Scotland so we’d all be talking about a change and not waiting until after the next RWC
I left Twickenham deflated. England just play no rugby

Well said sir. You took the words out of my mouth. This day remembers those that died to give us the right to voice a different view 🙏🏼
Started watching season 1 Gangs of London on @NetflixUK . Violence is understandably going to be part of the script, but this makes Top Boy seem suitable for children’s day time TV. For me it goes way too far - so much so that I stopped watching 10 minutes into episode 2. 👎🏻
I hope my @SaintsRugby Friday night gets better. Shit rugby and a halftime saxophone 😫

But it’s ok to let a man punch a girl in the face in a boxing ring @iocmedia
Kirsty Burrows, Head of the Safe Sport Unit at the IOC speaks about #Paris2024 offering the most comprehensive package of mental health and safeguarding initiatives than any other Olympic or sporting event in history.
WTF 🤬 When is the IOC going to wake up and stop biological men from competing against woman. I wish I didn’t have to say this because it’s an enormous sacrifice they shouldn’t have to make, but woman need to boycott events where they are competing against biological men.
Yep I know it’s another @SaintsRugby player but @GeorgeFurbank being outstanding all season👇🏻
This boys a bit special👇🏻
George Hendy take a bow! 👏
Alex Mitchell puts Northampton Saints into the lead late on, but it's all down to Hendy's drive
