Mike Brown has selected his England squad for Rugby World Cup – picks Arundell over May

Eddie Jones has many big decisions to make when deciding who travels to France. But who will make the squad and who will miss out?

Mike Brown has selected the players that he would select if he were England head coach.

The 37-year-old gave his opinion to the Mail Online and you can view his squad and thoughts below…

#FRONT-ROW:

  • Loosehead: Ellis Genge, Mako Vunipola, Joe Marler
  • Hooker: Jamie George, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Jamie Blamire
  • Tighthead: Kyle Sinckler, Will Stuart, Joe Heyes 

Brown wrote: “On the loosehead, Ellis Genge is the out-and-out first choice. Joe Marler should come back for the World Cup and he’s neck-and-neck with Mako Vunipola.”

#SECOND-ROW:

  • Lock: Maro Itoje, Jonny Hill, Ollie Chessum, Joe Launchbury

Brown wrote: “I think Joe Launchbury will come in when he’s fit and Ollie Chessum’s is on a real upward trajectory.”
