he had yet another good game on Saturday

I don't think it will be too long before he takes the step up to the full EPS.
Slater and Lawes as a second row would be brutal!

Great news for Ed, well deserved.
How many matches might we miss him for?

Re: Ed Slater has been named in the England Saxons squad
Congrats to him but where do we find some warm bodies for a Tigers 2nd row now with Parling, Deacon and him in the England frame? Suppose it'll have to be Mafi, Skivington and Kitchener for now, but with Skivington off to Irish and Kitchener likely to be back on the Saxons, at least, the long term looks thin.

Re: Ed Slater has been named in the England Saxons squad
This is the area of coaching where I think we should praise RC - we have some very interesting characters with great ability being brought on well.
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Callum Green is back in training following his injury. He should be available if needed during the 6N/Saxon period.

Praise for RC steady on... surely he should be criticised even more for developing the talent he has

Re: Ed Slater has been named in the England Saxons squad
Yes, well done.
This season he has come on well, and he looks an exciting prospect.
Not guaranteed a starting place, and up against some serious competition, which imo is spurring him on to better things.

A well deserved call up.

Re: Ed Slater has been named in the England Saxons squad
Great news for ED and a reward for his play this season, mentioned before - with GP and ED best 4-5 combo for us IMO

Re: Ed Slater has been named in the England Saxons squad
Unfortunately there is a huge contrast between the forwards development and the backs. I assumed RC & RB coached the forwards, MOC & PB the backs more or less. Perhaps the backs problems are due to RC's coaching.........Panda wrote:jgriffin wrote:This is the area of coaching where I think we should praise RC - we have some very interesting characters with great ability being brought on well.

Re: Ed Slater has been named in the England Saxons squad
Superb news for Ed, he definately deserves. With Skivs off at the end of the season I think next will see him step up and he is certainly ready for it. He will be crucial during the 6ns with Parling and Deacon missing and hopefully he can carry on his great form, full of passion and commitment he is a "Tiger".
