Great news, hopefully Genge is next then May. Talking of the England players, when is the new EPS, or whatever its called named?

I wouldn't be surprised if Dan Cole's England career is over due to a need to find Tight Heads for the next WC

It'll be interesting to see if Ford's and Genge's new contracts come with a relegation release clause.
I saw Marika Vunibaka play

Thought he was excellent today, even thought I saw an attempt at a dummy 1st half.
I genuinely feared for their replacement loose head when he folded him in 2

I wouldn't be surprised if Cole is discarded from England, but it would be a shame. You could see him staying on another year or two to help teach the next guys, like Hartley, Robshaw etc a few years ago.

Williams needs to be given gametime if he is to be Sinckler’s deputy in France, Genge gave him a hard time yesterday.

Cole’s international career, unless in an injury crisis, is over in my view, Jones needs to develop other options I personally think Will Stuart, Jamal Ford-Robinson and Nick Schonert are in the frame. The latter two of which have been in EPS before but for me Schonert is not fit enough, Stuart doesn’t have enough of an all-round game either.

I guess we will have to wait and see. Of course there’s Ehren Painter who is BFG’s favourite.

Painter you say, I'd rather watch an episode of Teletubbies!

Great news about George Ford.
On the England front, with the next World Cup in mind, will Eddie leave the 30+ year olds out. There’s plenty of young talent around to get ready.

Manu is a Leicester lad now, so hope he stays. It was good to see him enjoying his rugby. Loved him yesterday. Lol
