North covers wing and centre - will go
Beirne covers back row and lock - will go
Farrell covers 10 & 12 - will go

Lawes covers back row and lock may just squeeze in there too...

Hogg covers 10 from FB
Williams covers wing from FB
Daly 11,13,14,15

Could possibly take Henderson and Ryan,pick Beirne as a 6 who covers lock and number 8 and only take 2 specialist 8s My other train of thought is Gray will miss out for Henderson, Ryan and Bernie. With Henderson covering 6 and as you say Bernie 6 and 8. Good shout! Certainly helps to be picked if y...

My guess at the lions tour team is (Who I think Gatland will pick not who I would want) 1: Jones, Vunipola, Marler 2: Owens, George, Cowan Dickie 3: Francis, Sinckler, Porter/Furlong, 4: Wyn Jones, Gray, 5: Itoje, Henderson/Ryan, Bernie 6: Navidi, Underhill, 7:Tipuric, Curry, 8: Faletau, Vunipola, ...

LRZ is nailed on going IMO

Good shout

Hamish or Anthony? I think Anthony is nailed on,but I think May misses out.

Hamish, Anthony is 100% nailed down imo

Whilst the Head Coach role is obviously important for England, I was initially thinking in terms of what options there were around to refresh the playing squad. Whether or not EJ stays on is a mute point in this context, although he has previous for some perverse selections. I’m not sure the talent...

Marler is the only other one I can think off the top of my head

Thanks!

Which of our props play both sides other than Porter? Always handy

Wonder what the split will be on 36?
6 x props
3 x hookers
5 x locks
7 x BR/8
3 x SH
3 x FH
4 x centre
5 x wing/FB

A lot might depend on if he takes Farrell as a 10 or 12 and dont forget Hògg could start the midweek games at FH

It's not taken long for the other clubs' supporters on social media to revert to the "same old cheating Tigers" nonsense, I would revel in the jealousy except for the fact we're only 7th and that it's just plain hypocrisy and ridiculousness, especially from Falcons supporters baying for W...

Hamish has been an assistant ref a few times at Welford Road before stepping into the middle. He was the referee for our Premiership Rugby Cup game against Worcester a couple of years ago. I clearly wasn't impressed with him as my teenage daughter pointed out that while I could complain as much as ...

Good job we had Hamish Smales outstanding performance in the Bristol v Quins game to restore our faith in officiating because Barnes and Dickson had shockers! Dickson has took CMK title as the league's worse ref for me now! Do I read into that CMK may have improved? Or are you of the view that he's...
