The Guardian delved into England’s ridiculous strength in depth ahead of the fast approaching 2023 Six Nations.
With Steve Borthwick now in charge, the national side could be set for a huge reshuffle with up to five separate XV’s of players vying for a spot.
Reacting to the article, one fan even claimed the fifth choice line-up would be good enough to beat Scotland.
He wrote: “Danny Care and Alfie Barbeary would walk into a Scotland XV. I’d back that team to actually do better than Eddie Jones did in the last Six Nations.”
Another added: “Just shows how much talented Eddie Jones was wasting.
A third commented: “Fifth XV easily beats the Scots.”
England’s First Choice XV:
1. Ellis Genge
2. Luke Cowan-Dickie
3. Kyle Sinckler
4. Maro Itoje
