I thought Sam Tomkins got a 1 match ban after the grand final,so how was he able to play for England in the test match,and i think Bennett said he wasn’t going to play him a couple of days before on teletext.

Friendlies count, so maybe they used the game against France as his 1 match ban.

After watching his kicking display on Sat, I believe it was the Kiwi back 3 who appealed his ban.

I thought Connor was wasted at Left Centre so would move him back into the halves, Lomax/Myler at 7 and Tomkins to Full Back

cheers bombed out.

I like Jake at right centre for us but i dont think left centre suits him.
I agree with you and would play him at 6 in this current England squad and move Tomkins to full back.
Whether you like Tomkins or not he is still a class act

class act lol, yes he tackled well, but often his kicks went straight to the man, offered little in attack, hes better at fullback, defo try connor in the halves

That was because NZ dominated field position for most of the game. When England were kicking they were usually 40 - 60 metres from the opposition line. NZ were generally kicking from 20 - 40 metres from the England line.

Never rated Tomkins in the halves and Saturday proved that and don’t see the hype with Lomax neither.
For me I’d go; 1 Ratchford 6. Williams 7. Connor

Tompkins has had a decent year at fullback, play him there, no matter where hes kicking from he should have done better on Saturday, for me him and Williams didn't work,
