Should this be the England team against Argentina?

Eddie Jones has an impossible job. Selecting a starting 15 from such a talented pool must be hard.
Here's a potential team that could face Argentina this Saturday if all fit.


1. Ellis Genge has been playing some great Rugby. He is carrying exceptionally well and his work at scrum time is phenomenal. As Mako Vunipola played such a key part on the Lions tour it may be wise to rest him for this game and give some younger players some test experience before the 2019 World Cup.  
2. Jamie George is a quality player. Arguably more dynamic that Dylan Hartley and better in the loose than the current England captain. Jamie George would be in the starting 15.
3. Dan Cole has been the cornerstone of the England scrum for a long time. It is important for the less experienced players to play with players that have a lot of experience so that they can learn from them.
4. Joe Launchbury has really been a standout player at Wasps and definitely deserves a chance in the England shirt. Lock is a real position of strength and depth in England at the moment and with Billy Vunipola injured there is a chance to experiment and give players opportunities.
5. Courtney Lawes has been hitting, crunching and destroying players for ever. This season is no different. Early on in the season it seemed that he was the only player playing to their potential at Northampton.
6. Maro Itoje has got to be a world class player. He can play second row or 6. Him and Lawes are interchangeable in these positions. I just think the extra power that Lawes can put through the scrum makes him suit that position more. In the loose they will probably be doing similar roles.    
7. Sam Underhill is a quality player. He makes ridiculous numbers of tackles each game and is the closest thing to an out and out 7 England have. One area of his game I would like to see him improve is his ball carrying. If he wants to become a regular starter then he really needs to develop this.
8. Nathan Hughes can carry hard and is a great replacement whilst we wait for Billy to return.
9. Danny Care has been playing really well and has put in some great kicks and has controlled Harlequins well so far this season. Ben Youngs is a great player but as with many of these selections it is important to give the squad as much game time as possible.  
10. George Ford is a great player when he plays for England. The move away from Bath seems to give him some extra confidence and has sparked some great playing again.
11. Elliot Daly, if fit, can play in many positions. Eddie Jones likes to choose him at wing. He has the pace. He can kick well too which helps take the pressure of 10.
12. Owen Farrell, along with Itoje, is a real World Class player. His goal kicking is accurate and he controls the game brilliantly. Although I see him as a 10 instead of playing 12 he will start here on Saturday.
13. Henry Slade has been playing excellent rugby for a very long time. A very skilled player with the ability to play anywhere in the back line has to be in the squad for the world cup and therefore he needs game time.
13. Johnathan Joseph
14. Semesa Rokoduguni has to be one of the best attacking threats in England. As a Bath supporter I would love to see him prove himself in an England shirt. It is true that his defense needs work but he can learn on the job.  
15. Anthony Watson usually plays fullback at Bath. I would like to see him play here for England and challenge Mike Brown for the fullback shirt.
