How much will the EPS change between now and 2019??

[Mikey Brown]

I would have ditched Brown before Jones but there is no denying Daly hasnt exactly shone.
Been a major surprise to me that Watson hasnt been tried at FB in the 2 warm up games.

This is part of what makes it so annoying.

I was out of form for fucking ages and Jones kept wasting those caps while many were curious how any of Daly, Watson, Goode, Nowell, Slade or whoever might have done at 15, while we still had time to change our minds.

This has meant EJ is sticking to Daly no matter what. He’s not going to concede ground and even try Watson there again by the looks of it.

Its 7, 9, 12 and 15.

I'm pretty confident we've got the other spots well covered but its the same old problem positions.

Not much has changed other than finally having a couple of specialist 7s fighting it out.

We’re significantly better off at 7, as you say.

But we are also better off at 12 and 15 imo. Tuilagi and Francis being in the mix for 12 is a step forwards, and while Daly gets some criticism, he’s an upgrade on Brown.

Just a shame we are still dicking around with those positions a few weeks before the world cup. Care, Teo and Brown get most of the playing time in the last few years at 9, 12 and 15 but are then jettisoned leaving very few chances for the new guys to get game time there.
