Having found out it was twice, and that the allowance to go to the coffee shop was a limited time, therefore risk scenario, and that they then lied (both to the initial investigation and then the press) I think my previous post is off.
What a group of complete twonks.

No wonder Jones was furious, looking at that shower of mostly non entities selected, England would have racked up 60 + points..

I trust they will throw the book at them.

Nine from the team that thinks it is so special it is above the law and in those nine the rottenest apple in the barrel - Callum Clarke. :smt011

Another chicken coming home to roost for the RFU - they should have given him a life ban for his assault on Rob Hawkins.
I used to sit near a stalker and we want him back "kick for the corner!!!!"

It can be a problem for younger players to say no when asked if seasoned and experienced player like Robshaw are 'up for it'. That said, there is still no excuse.

It’s probably an artefact of the “stays on tour” mentality.

Players need to know the new version: “What goes on tour, goes on social media, and stays on social media to be viewed by your partner, your parents, your children, and your future employer.”

I seriously doubt it. If they play well enough they'll get in. If they provide a benefit to the England Head Coach, they'll be selected. There are plenty in rugby who have done worse and continued to have very successful careers.

I totally agree Calum Clarke is an animal and the RFU failed to give him a lifetime ban, so he joined the Saresins law breakers. Like animals he should be locked up in a strong cage. What he did to our Rob Hawkins was irrefutable. I fully expect him to be short of the truth! :smt011. :smt013

If you get on the wrong side of Eddie, he won't select you. Look at Danny Care. Although he has the ability not to show any frustration because he is better than that, I can imagine he was pretty annoyed that a very avoidable situation resulted in the cancellation of a warm-up fixture.

Danny Care had a few misdemeanours that would have contributed to his opportunities. Expect these guys to get the opportunities for International caps but with a heavy final warning hanging over them.

I am 100% convinced that Danny Care would be in the England Squad if Eddie Jones thought it would make the squad stronger.
