Out of interest, which incoming player hasn't quite matched to your expectations RB?

[RagingBull]

I've been very vocal about it TBH.
Enever.

Now granted as others have told me he might just need time, but yeh.

[ay2oh]

With the young locks coming through was a bit surprised we signed him

[RagingBull]

I mean the locks are still very young
Henderson 20
Chessum 19
Martin 19
Manz 19

Going into a season with 3 locks hoping that the youngsters are ready would've been a big risk.

As you say, hopefully Enever will settle more come the start of the new season. Think the potential for future locks is looking strong - hopefully they get the opportunities to develop further!

Paul Tait reports: Argentina's Ledesma went for Pau’s Ignacio Calles over Leicester Tigers’ Facundo Gigena for the Rugby Championship roster because of their comparative game time.

“We have the best references from Ignacio Calles both in his time at the Liceo Naval in Buenos Aires and in Pau. He was in competition with Facundo Gigena and that he had more minutes tipped the balance in his favor”.

I said Itoje as a joke...

[TigerFeetSteve]

I said Itoje as a joke...

Joke or not, if the Championship doesn't take place I could see the RFU trying to get some players rugby elsewhere on a loan, though will possibly be very cut-price as not many clubs will have cap space...

[sapajo]

I said Itoje as a joke...

He he

[RagingBull]

I said Itoje as a joke...

But ruck has already wrote the article

[ads]

I'd take him in a normal season, but who ever he plays for won't get to see him for at least half the season.

Probably doesn't matter if the championship doesn't go ahead he'll be training and Playing with England anyway.
