Great news. Thought the size of our pitch ruled us out of staging internationals.

I thought the changes to the pitch had taken care of that -and it was the standard of the dressing room facilities that were not up to snuff.

Does anybody know if England A/Saxons is still a capture team?

Despite not being called the Saxons, as it's the second men's national team surely that means players are tied?

Yes it is, so long as they are NOT playing an age group side.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Good to know, guess it may have implications on who gets picked (thinking of Bevan Rodd & Ewan Ashman)

Yes but I'd expect him to be in the full England squad as backup to Stuart if he keeps playing the way he has in the past few weeks

Agreed, I was just thinking of England needing to ensure he's capped to prevent unwanted interest from elsewhere :smt002

Cameron Henderson must be in with a chance of being selected for the visitors.

I wouldn't be surprised if they call up Kelly if he wants to play for England, to try and stave off Irish interest.

Would be surprised if he isn’t being considered.
