Chaar saal ka intezar
Gloucester ke is wing ne chaar saal pehle England ke daura-e-Australia mein, jab Jones coach the, aakhri lamhaat ke mutabadil ke taur par pehla cap hasil kiya tha, aur us ke baad se koi Test nahin khela tha. Is dauran un ka bachpan ka club London Irish dewaliya ho gaya, Harlequins mein un ka waqt mayus-kun raha, aur aik auto-immune radd-e-amal ke baad un ke baayen kaan ki sama'at khatm ho gayi. Gloucester ke liye season ke aaghaz mein umda karkardagi ne un ki wapsi ki raah hamwar ki.
Full-back Freddie Steward, prop Ellis Genge, wing Cadan Murley, flanker Ben Earl, aur lock George Martin ne bhi tries kin, jabke mutabadil khilariyon Ben Curry, Marcus Smith, aur Greg Fisilau ne bhi score kiya. George Ford ne chaar conversions aur aik penalty kick ki, aur Henry Slade ne aik conversion ka izafa kiya.
Japan ki tries co-captain Warner Dearns aur mutabadil khilari Opeti Helu ne kin, jabke scrum-half Saito ne aik conversion aur aik penalty kick ki. Aik hafta pehle Japan ko Wales ke hathon sirf aik score ke farq se shikast hui thi.
Centre Max Ojomoh ne aik saal mein apni pehli shirkat par midfield mein sab ki tawajjuh hasil ki, aur Northampton ke scrum-half Archie McParland ne bench se aa kar apna debut kiya.
Agla muqabla All Blacks se
Maro Itoje ki captaincy mein England agle Saturday ko pool matches ke aakhri round mein New Zealand se khelega. All Blacks Cardiff mein Wales se 35-28 se haarne ke baad aa rahe hain, jo 1953 ke baad Wales ke hathon un ki pehli shikast thi.
