This weekend, much awaited game took place between the New Zealand and English rugby teams. The fans of both squads were looking forward to seeing their favorite player compete against each other. But by the end only one side was feeling joyful.
Saturday match
In Saturday’s game against New Zealand, Eddie Jones was compelled to change up his back three. It’s also said that Jones is thinking about calling B. Vunipola back. As a member of his team, Tommy Freeman of Northampton was inserted to save the team from Kokanasiga’s energy last weekend against Japan.
The English rugby player might make his debut during the rest of the games that are planned for this Fall – all of them will be arranged with the All Blacks.
Nevertheless, J. Nowell will probably take his place if the player is healthy enough to return to rugby after suffering a severe trauma of his stomach. On the day of the match, Kokanasiga took Nowell’s place as the scheduled starter against Japan. Jones stated that he was given an opportunity to play against New Zealand after scoring seven tries, but Freeman came up with a different plan and performed admirably on his Australian summer tour debut.
Vunipola were eliminated after defeating Japan, and despite suffering losses as a result of a string of mistakes in a recent game with the Argentinian rugby team just a week ago. The English team members believe that they have received from the Japanese the England a really valuable and important experience during the last game.
Changes in the team
Currency, the situation is so: Vunipora is rumored to have been practicing with the England squad by the end of this week, and Jones specifically mentioned him when describing the crucial role that semi-final players will play in the upcoming matches.
S. Simmonds makes an impression with his eighth-place finish against Japan, and while one might see it as unfortunate if he is eliminated. But still, the fans of the club don’t lose hope – especially in the light of the latest rumors.
Simmonds is considered to have been working out with Vunipola closely this week. Jones might think about moving Maro Itoje and Tom Curry back to the back row, as it has been suggested.
