English rugby at the pace of change
Eddie Jones was sacked from his position several months ago and replaced by former Leicester coach Steve Borthwick. The latter must strike a chord between the new and old generations, while keeping a competitive squad for the World Cup in France. Recently, Borthwick and his staff decided to recall 40 players for friendlies, other XV de la Rose courses and 2 extra players. The latter were Ollie Sessom and Jack Walker. However, the details of this list raised many questions among English fans! Young and promising Harlequins winger Caden Murley was not among the players selected. The 23-year-old finisher has impressed as the Premiership’s top scorer this season with 15 goals in 18 games. Some observers suggested his performance might have changed the hierarchy within the national team, but not overtly. The technician and former player preferred to keep other players on the wings and at the back: Henry Arundel, Joe Koganasika, Elliot Daly, Max Mullins, Joe Marchant, Johnny May, Guy Porter, Freddie Stewart and Anthony Watson. It will be necessary to wait a little longer for Murali to point the tip of his nose with XV de la Rose’s jersey.
