Lions Watch: Fullbacks jostling for position and too late for any bolters?
Marcus and Luke pack up the truck and head out onto the plains for another edition of Lions Watch, the show where we continually talk up England outsiders’ chances without any consideration for who we’d have to drop from the squad. And plenty more besides.
We kick off today with a chat about England’s defenders as Nico O’Reilly’s impressive form pushes him closer to many people’s starting XIs - but does he make ours? Plus: getting the attacking blend right, some of the other World Cup groups and whether the likes of Max Dowman and Rio Ngumoha can grab a last-minute spot on the plane.
We stream Lions Watch live on YouTube every other Wednesday! Subscribe to our YouTube to get notified when we go live next.
