Sir Clive Woodward has revealed his gun England XV to face Wales with a couple of surprise inclusions and a new captain.
The legendary former boss, who won the grandest prize of them all back in 2003, said that Eddie Jones should be treating every game as if it is Rugby World Cup final.
Woodward, who is 30/1 to replace under fire Aussie, hasn’t been afraid to criticize the current boss openly whether in his column for the Mail Online or as a pundit on ITV.
Picking his XV, the 66-year-old reiterated that he’d start this team with the intention of them finishing the game.
Sir Clive Woodward: England XV
BACK-THREE:

- 12. Manu Tuilagi (Sale Sharks) for Joe Marchant
