Ribbans with a 3 game ban, looks like he'll only be eligible for the last game if picked in the England squad

I reckon Jones won’t pick Ribbans now and will probably go for Ewels, Isiekwe, Martin, Moon & Munga (or possibly Sean Robinson).

I suppose Kpoku would be in contention too… looking forward to the squad announcement tomorrow.

As much as he deserves it and the media have been predicting it, I’m not sure I could see it happening. Saying that though he could do Charlie Ewels’ role much better to be honest… I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

I'm not sure what the fascination is with Ewels,is he a lineout specialist?

Yeah got to have Kpoku in somewhere, been Itoje partner at 5 for Sarries this season and could easily make the next RWC squad. The guy is a unit, although not sure on his lineout ability.

Don't think you're the only one to be honest. I think Ewels is more a workhorse type, captains as well for Bath.

So are we having one big squad/training camp and then Eddie picks his 23s accordingly or will there be 2 separate squads announced tomorrow?

Tom West has injured his knee and he’s definitely out of Saturday’s match. There’s question marks over how bad the injury is but it might mean he’ll struggle to be fit for England.

All made the training squad, JVP, Youngs & Ford miss out

Also no Marcus Smith - just realised no top 4 teams are there for playoffs
