The unexpected comeback of Jamie George, who declared he was prepared to step up his attack, gave England a double boost ahead of their match against Japan on Saturday. Due to a head injury, Courtney Rose was out of commission and had to be replaced.
Everyone was looking for a stronger attack than what was displayed in Sunday’s disastrous loss to Argentina, so May, who hasn’t played in a test match for England since November of last year, is set to play against Japan. The 32-year-old winger sprained his elbow just over 14 days ago, but he is preparing for an unlikely comeback after seeing a specialist and getting good news.
Valuable players
Although, another player who took part in the game, Jones, believes his rate to be an invaluable plus as England looks to become victorious again. He was called to camp last week and was not deemed fit to play Argentina. That seemed to be pretty unfair.
In contrast to J. Nowell’s struggles on the different flank, J. Cokanasiga shined against Argentina, scoring on England’s opening try. Tommy Freeman of Northampton made an impression when he earned his 1st caps during the Australian summer tour.
Along with McGuigan and Quirk, Val Rapava-Ruskin of Gloucester was dismissed from the squad. Jones revealed that Manu was chosen because of a blister sustained against Argentina. After a trip to Japan on Saturday, England is now “on the brink” of an All Blacks match with South Africa. Maro Itoye and Jones, however, concur that England is in a winning position.
The honesty of team members
Itoye said that they need to leave, no matter the pressure or circumstance. They are aware of our abilities and skill levels. There were times when everything did not go the way they wanted, even against England. It was critical to strengthen their bonds as a team in circumstances like that, and to be open about where they did wrong and the reason for that. Following that, people switch to more mature topics by reflecting on the game and discussing how to make it better with one another. No one yelled at each other and pointed the finger. The game involves being open and sincere with one another about what went right and what went wrong.
