To be fair that’s not exactly on a plate for him. We look more interesting these early few minutes than for the whole of the Scotland game.
Let’s see what happens now, don’t want to see us sitting in now. Keep the tempo high and put a score on the board.
Saka & Grealish positives. The full backs linked up well going forward , although nothing to test them defensively. Maguire offers more when England in possession and organises the back line. Not sure it gives us any idea how we’ll fare against the top teams, who will have more of the ball and test the defence, when we play them.
Hendo on for Rice, interesting as I thought he would be the direct replacement for Phillips if anyone. Wonder if there’s an injury issue there. Good for Henderson to get minutes though.
