3) Ben Earl (Saracens)

Replaces: Sean Robinson

One person said: “The fact that Eddie Jones thinks Ben Earl wouldn’t be an upgrade to this squad is frankly hilarious.”

A second commented: “Stop picking locks at flanker. Poor Ben Earl. England’s selection policy during Jones tenure has been an utter disgrace.”

Another said: “watch rugby in the UK from New Zealand, what I can’t understand is why Joe Launchbury and Ben Earl are not picked for every game if I’m honest.”

A fourth said: “He’s tearing it up every game and not getting a look in. It’s sad.”
