The Virtual Terrace • England v New Zealand 1st Test
I’d go with the same injuries/suspension permitting. Whilst a good win yesterday still room for improvement, can’t say we were great in that first half and if not for Makinson’s 2 try savers we could’ve be trailing 18-2.
Makinson was pretty much a 10/10, if he was only an 8/10 that’s probably a NZ win so I’d challenge the same lineup to be even better next week. We’ve had to close scores with great individual tries bring the decider, I think there’s the potential for them to go out and win more convincingly by a couple of scores if they get things right from the off and maintain it.
I’d imagine Clark won’t be fit though so Greenwood would come in for me and Milner can back up hooker. If George Burgess is suspended then with no more forwards I’d pick O’Loughlin if fit but if not that leaves Ratchford on the bench for utility value.
