What readers are saying

dawn1993
Suaalii has started on the wing rather than centre despite that strong debut two years ago. This gives the backline more attacking options if he drifts in but it also means the 13 jersey is not yet settled for him.
alan80
Meredith needs to nail that first receiver role today.
Gordy
The replacements list looks strong with Valetini Tupou and Daugunu available to come on.
kath1950
ENGLAND has four elite props available with Baxter starting.
