Seems short on pace.

2 caps in imo he’s done enough to keep his place certainly for the Scots

you would hope so

Has the final been confirmed for the 15th. There aren’t a huge number of changes we can pick because of the eligibility criteria. Ealing had a definite bonus at the start today having been playing competitively regularly. Gloucester and us should be in the same boat Well Gloucester can pick from a ...

We deserved the win
Ealing are a good side
Well done
See you in the final

It’s Borthwick’s fault taking Heyes and Cole …Hurd would have steadied the ship I think ! We are down to our 5th choice TH against a seasoned Premiership LH ! Ealing are good side who have clearly played together a lot …keep the faith…Claire will add something extra I’m sure

Get in
Great scrum and try

Not going well in the scrum ..another penalty for Ealing to take the lead ..they have a decent front row and pack

Richardson nearly lost his head in that scrum !

And I mean that literally !!

Good side
Whitcombe does seem to be out of favour at the moment. He’s done well when he’s played but doesn’t seem to be selected as often as he should. Some key battles in there and should be a good game

Ealing will be no mugs ! They are a hardened and experienced side and will come at us. We need to pick a 23 to win. As much as I applaud and would normally welcome development opportunities I don’t think Sunday is the day for this

Great to see George Martin back in the squad but Manu really ? He is not the future! I'm not sure Manu is even the present. [/quote … funny! Not even recent past to be honest At his peak Manu was immense but I genuinely cannot remember the last time that was. That’s not being cynical but when he pu...

Chessum is a brilliant lock but not a flanker, let alone an international one. In Chessum, Itoje and Martin England have 3 top flight locks. Stewart, bar tripping himself up was England's best player. Reffell MOTM. Without him it would have been a cricket score. Ford has one good kick for a 50:22 b...

Embarrassing for Nottingham to send cannon fodder like this. Ridiculous. How else do players make the transition without being tested at the next level ? Don’t you think that the games programme is limited enough …so let’s take every opportunity to blood our young lads…did you actually go to the ga...

But Cole isn’t being picked to start so isn’t involved in the first scrum or two ? I could just about understand why we would still start Cole, wouldn’t agree with it at all but sort of understand the now historical rationale of some people’s views …but to have him off the bench doesn’t make any sen...
