England team named to play Argentina in the first of the Autumn Internationals.
No Farrell, no Itoje, no Billy, but still looks like a strong team.
Big game for Slade at 12, and very exciting that we now get to see Underhill at the top level. All sorts of over-hyped media about him being the next Richie McCaw, but it will be nice to see an England team with an actual open-side playing.
A couple of exciting youngsters off the bench as well in Curry and Lozowski.
Having said that, Wales v Australia is still the most intriguing looking of the fixtures on Saturday. Going to be a long afternoon in the pub!
Underhill is more of a young Haskell-type. He hits tackles and rucks very hard, probably a bit better over the ball, needs to develop a bit more of a rounded game - can be a little one dimensional at times.
