England, clearly, have some good players. I think the main difference between now and 2019 is partnerships: specifically, George Kruis / Maro Itoje, and Sam Underhill / Tom Curry. Both Kruis and Underhill are missed for their individual qualities, but also how they helped others perform.
This is the first time England (the men’s team) have played in Marseille since 2007, and the World Cup quarter-final against Australia.
