Your combined 6N team before & after

[Scrumhead]

I’d go with:

1. Genge (England)
2. Marchand (France)
3. Porter (Ireland)
4. Itoje (England)
5. Ryan (Ireland)
6. Ollivon (France)
7. Curry (England)
8. Alldritt (France)
9. Dupont (France)
10. Jalibert (France)
11. May (England)
12. Fickou (France)
13. Ringrose (Ireland)
14. van der Merwe (Scotland)
15. Hogg (Scotland)

Surprised no-one else has gone for Porter. As good as Furlong is, he’s been out for 11mths and Porter is in great form.

Same for van der Merwe. I think he will have a great tournament, hopefully from round 2 onwards.

Really interested in watching more of Sutherland this 6N’s. He came back last year and was getting ridiculously overhyped after a couple of decent games. Was a bit ott imo, especially as England winning the scrum battle pretty comprehensively at Murrayfield was one of the keys to winning that game in horrendous conditions.

I agree. I said something similar on another forum and it was like I’d killed a puppy.

We’ll see tomorrow ...
