@EngRugbyDebate Unbelievably good and full strength 15! Only cause for optimism is unusually for SA, I’d argue the bench is a slight drop off so if England are in it going into the final 15-20 we’re in with a shout

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@Duggy1702 @EngRugbyDebate Those other 2/3 for me would be MS at 10 for the reasons you’ve said, reward Coles for good form and keep the second row competition high and then maybe Arundell on the wing

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@Duggy1702 @EngRugbyDebate If Wales was game 3 or 4 you probably would see more rotation but game 1 they’ve not had much time in camp and you want to make sure you get off to a good start. With the FR injuries, it’s worth starting the back ups with EG/JH on the bench if needed. Possibly rotate 2/3 others

@QuinsFOTS Get a 4 try or losing BP in La Rochelle and Tigers beat Stormers we get a home Last 16 Game…

@MartinSLewis Hi Martin, I get a bonus paid annually in my job which from looking back at old pay checks for those months I paid 9% student loan on for the amount over the threshold (as if that’s just my usual monthly salary). Would I be eligible?

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@EngRugbyDebate @RugbyInsideLine Yep I’m also done with the “we need to look at younger options” argument at this stage. It’s less than 2 years until the RWC squad will be chosen, with about 25 games left. We should picking the best team to win each game and there will be natural rotation with form and fitness

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@Jackalbion96 It’s literally the least “woke” choice they could have selected. I think they’re the 3 most experienced and established football presenters available with Mark Pougatch and Dave Jones the other 2 who will be tied into contracts with ITV and Sky. People are mad 😂

@CharlieFelix @CharlieFelix do you know if you can watch the game on demand on Rugby Pass or is it only available to watch live?

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@RugbyPass @RugbyPass can you only watch live or is there an option to watch on demand?

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@RugbyPass @EnglandRugby @JRFURugby Can you only watch the game live or will it be available to watch on demand?

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@neilfissler @RugbyPass Can you only watch the game live or is it available to watch on demand?

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@georgeblfc @Harlequins Yeah agreed it’s unlikely but also wouldn’t be a shock if tigers turned up in their last home game of the season. Real shame we couldn’t get that 2nd bonus point because it would be in our hands

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@georgeblfc @Harlequins Still an outside chance if Tigers can stop Exeter winning with a BP

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@Harlequins @DHLRugbyUK Jack Kenningham! That’s a nice surprise

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@harlequinspod What if say Chris Ashton decided to become a ref having played for the half the teams in the league - could he not ref any games involving an ex club? I think people have lost their minds a bit over this one…

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@harlequinspod 100% this, if you think bias is an issue where do you draw the line? Should KD not ref any games that impact on Quins chances of finishing in the top 4? Should KD not ref Tigers or Bristol because he played with Brown and Sinckler? What if he supported another team as a kid?

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@cornwall_fraser @Stevros3 @premrugby @Oval_Insights @eToro It will be because Saints, Saracens, Bath and Sale all got 5 points (which not all of them would have been predicted) and Quins got 2 points as opposed to 1 or 0, whereas Bristol got the expected 5 points so they are now less likely to get top 4 despite a huge win

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@harlequinspod Bristanbul Part 2

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@CharlieFelix Is there any data on if turnovers are more frequent in the final 20? Evans could work well on an England bench designed to see the game out by playing with less of the ball with the likes of JVP, Marler, Ford, Steward etc all ideal for that strategy

[Olly Watson @Olly_Watson98]

@WG_RumblePants @rsudharshan95 Yep and his average during Bazball is still above his career average. Also barring a couple of innings early on, I don’t think he’s been getting out “because of Bazball”, certainly none of his dismissals in India have been down to being too aggressive.
