Tigers International call ups

[RagingBull]

So far announced
Jonah Holmes - Wales
David Denton - Scotland
Campese Ma’afu - Fiji

[DingDong]

Holmes is looking a seriously exciting prospect, I hope Tigers do the right thing come his contract renewal!

How is it that a team packed full of past, current and future internationals can't play consistent rugby at our club? The talent we have at Tigers is huge, but watching them time and time again get turned over by lesser sides is amazing!

[TTRITH]

I'd expect to lose May, Ford and Ben Youngs to England duty. I'd be surprised if he doesn't call up Dan Cole with a lack of experience available to the front row.

That being said, due to injuries I wouldn't be surprised if Williams, O'Connor or Thomson get a look in for the back row.

Can’t see us losing any of those back rows to england, but I think eddie will take Manu with an outside change of Spencer and Olowefela, reckon we’ll lose kalamafoni, mapapalangi, veainu, feao, Nau and Toomua as well.

[RagingBull]

Toomua and Polota both left out of the Wallaby squad for NZ.

[RagingBull]

Youngs, Ford, May, Tuilagi called up by England.

Just waiting on the Tongan team now.

[RagingBull]

So we are missing for the AI’s
Ford (England)
May (England)
Tuilagi (England)
Youngs (England)
Denton (Scotland)
Mapapalangi (Tonga)
Kalamafoni (Tonga)
Holmes (Wales)

So for Glaws away on the 16th;

Cole
TPN
Bateman
Spencer
Wells/Kitch
BOC
Williams
Thompson
Harrison
Toomua
Eastmond
Owen
Jordan O
Thompstone
Telusa

Not a bad 15 if they all stay fit.
Sarries the following week will be missing a shed load and may be the easier fixture.

It will be interesting to see who gets picked the next two weeks for the Cup. Toomua, TPN and Owen could do with some game time before Glaws. Likewise Kitch ,and Telusa and BOC if they are back fit.

I can see Holmes being available

[Leicestertinytiger]

Yeah I can see Holmes being available too. Also we’ll have White, Hardwick and Worth off the bench, all of which have looked good whenever they’ve played in the premiership.

[Mark62]

Toomua and Polota both left out of the Wallaby squad for NZ.

That’s just for the game in the Far East. They may well be included once the Aussies reach Europe

[Soggypitch]

I can see Holmes being available

I agree. He is a good player but not yet International standard. Can't see him being in the Wales 23.

[JP14]

RB have you got a source for the Tonga call ups? I can’t seem to find one.
