Final Thoughts and the England Squad

Chris, Ugo and Danny reflect on the Prem final and discuss Steve Borthwick’s Nations Championship squad, debating the key selections and omissions.

Did the new Prem champions, Northampton, make a mistake by letting George Furbank leave? And has Steve Borthwick got the balance right in his Nations Championship squad? Ugo, Chris and DC take a more considered look back at Saturday's Prem final, asking whether Exeter could have done more to trouble Saints. As England's squad for the Nations Championship is named, Ugo asks whether the team should start to be built around Henry Pollock. They also discuss the merits of neutral venues for semi-finals, consider who might succeed Leo Cullen at Leinster, and make their predictions for the Top 14 and PWR finals.
