Earl ready and willing to start as England centre

England vs. Fiji: Quilter Nations Series

Venue: Twickenham Allianz Stadium Saturday, November 8 Kick-off: 17:40 GMT

After being touted as a potential replacement for the backline, England back row Ben Earl says he would not have any reservations starting a Test match in the centres.

After a string of comeos back in the second half behind the scrum, head coach Steve Borthwick made the suggestion that Earl might start the match in midfield.

According to Earl, “We’ve had discussions about it in the past.”

“I’d feel very happy to play there if and when Steve would, because I know he wouldn’t put the team in jeopardy.”

You must put your trust in him and your own self for the work you’ve already done if he thinks you’re ready to take that position.

“So yeah, I’d be happy at any time.”

After Tommy Freeman, who started 13 in the starting lineup, Tommy Freeman, Tommy Freeman, and Henry Pollock, who was back rowing, to take the starting spot, Tommy Freeman, Tommy Freeman, Tommy Freeman, and England defeated Wales 68-14 in the final round of the Six Nations in March.

Earl’s mid-game substitutions against Italy, Japan, and New Zealand were similar.

Earl, 27, believes that making significant adjustments to his game would be simpler if he moved into the center.

The performance “looks very, very similar” when you perform well as a back rower and a 12 or 13er, he said.

“I believe that scrummaging is the only time you might be doing something different.

I’m just trying to remain true to who I am as a player, not like this kind of trailblazing guy who has done a lot of everything.

In Saturday’s 25-7 victory over Australia, Earl recorded 73 metres with the ball in hand, more than all but two of his team-mates. The Saracens star attempted to get in the opening try from just inside the Wallabies half to get close to that figure.

Borthwick has also identified a forward who has the potential to play backs.

As a potential wing option, Pollock has been selected who has scored three tries for England in just over an hour of Test rugby.

Earl of Pollock remarked, “I think he’s quicker than I am.”

Earl said being compared to the 20-year-old, who has had a huge impact with his aggressive, exuberant style, is a stark contrast from having him as a team-mate.

Henry has been fantastic. He and I have been friends for years, Earl said, “It seems like he’s known us for years.”

When you’re in his camp, I believe that’s probably his strength because he’s just a good, likeable guy.

There isn’t anyone I disliked more than him when you’re in camp with him, but when you play against him about two weeks ago [Northampton’s win over Saracens], he’s an absolute bundle of energy. You want to be around him, right?
