Sir Clive Woodward believes Eddie Jones must start picking players on merit, and has named the England XV he’d like to see.
The World Cup-winning coach initially left Manu Tuilagi out of his XV, but only because his international future was unclear with a move abroad then looking likelt.
However, with the powerhouse centre once again available after signing a new two-year contract extension with Sale Sharks, we’ve revisited what his team would look like….
BACK-THREE:
- 15. Max Malins (Bristol Bears)
- 14. Anthony Watson (Bath RFC)
- 11. Paolo Odogwu (Wasps)
CENTRE:
- 13. Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs)
- 12. Manu Tuilagi (Sale Sharks)
