George Ford back now so with Hardwick and Costelow should be fine
are the England players back? I would imagine Eddie is well within his rights to keep them in a training camp until the last expected week of the 6N
No, he said on TV yesterday that they would be have a debrief in the game today then the players will be going back to their clubs. So that’s a bonus. A fresh Genge for a start.

I would imagine he is but to what end. Next internationals are in Japan and the squad for that will bear very little resemblance to the 6 nations squad

I really don't understand why we brought back Callum Green. Very very average.

he currently doesn't appear to be any better than Wells and is probably being paid a lot more than him

And yet last season was one of the best performing locks in the Prem. He's also spent some time out injured this season.

I'm not writing him off, that would be foolish, but as things stand his signing has been a poor piece of business, we have done far too many of those recently, hopefully Borthwick coming in will sort the pack out finally and Green will thrive

Signing useless players is not a recent thing, although we do seem to have signed a fair few the last few years, anyone remember Gareth Raynor the rugby league try scoring machine.....

Correct and until we swallow our own medicine we will continue to suffer the inevitable consequences. If we actually do spend up to the cap we have no excuses to still not have a squad to rival the likes of Sale and Exeter for example?

I fold! Except I still feel Taute may have something to give. And at J P Pietersen I nearly passed out! I think the memory of that much vaunted super winger is what sent me into this debate in the first place!
