"Would smash Wales" - The alternative England XV 'that would win the Six Nations'
Rugby NewsTuesday, 18 January 2022 at 11:32
Fans have been responding to a post naming an alternative England XV, with some suggesting that the team could very easily win the competition.
Several major stars, including George Ford and Billy Vunipola, missed out on Eddie Jones Six Nations squad that he announced this morning.
However, some think this completely alternative team could win the whole competition.
One supporter wrote: “That team would genuinely smash Wales. I have no doubt.”
Another then added: “I’d back that XV to win the Six Nations.”
Check out the full alternative England XV below.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
