Guy Porter, yet another Tiger, is a feisty center capable of invading at 13 – outside of Smith and Farrell – or at 12. It will be interesting to see if Jones is willing to give Smith a point without Farrell at any stage.
Laws retaining the captaincy would make that more likely. Porter also offers England the opportunity to bolster their midfield if Samu Kerevi and Len Ikitau cause trouble.
Luke Cowan-Dickie and Mako Vunipola will be champions at the start and, at the other end of the experience scale, Henry Arundell drops the apprentice star.
Jones promised the London Irish tyro would stand a chance if he was impressed during training and that he transcribed clearly. Getting promoted for Tommy Freeman is a huge compliment.
Pure speed is Arundell’s unique selling point and the England head coach took to the stands earlier this season to see a game-changing cameo against Wasps. Porter is there for a more conservative wing option.
Jones promised aggression. He has kept his word.
