Heno Head says New Zealand. Reports of their death have been greatly exaggerated IMO. I think it’ll be close - maybe 5-8 points in it.
I think Jones has just about picked the right team for the game, bar the Farrell / Smith axis at 10/12. I’d have Slade in there for sure. Otherwise, it’s combative all over the park, back 3 is my preferred one for England, I like the inclusion of Van Poortvliet from the off, and the 6/⅞ combo looks well balanced.
How you feelin about Australia?
