Then with rest week ends and The Six Nations I’m not sure how teams like us, Sarries, Exeter, Saints, Bath and now most likely Quins will get on if some players get injured.
Sorry: too many internationals ( not players)!
Potential match-day squad during November internationals:
1. F. van Wyk
2. Youngs (c)
3. Cole
4. Green
5. Synman
6. Brink
7. Reffell
8. Liebenberg
9. Wigglesworth
10. Burns
11. Olowofela
12. Socino
13. Taute
14. Potter
15. Hegarty
16. Clare
17. Whitecombe
18. Hurd
19. Chessum
20. Illione
21. JVP
22. Porter
23. K. van Wyk

This is accounting for the possibility that all our current international players (including uncapped Henderson and Leatigaga) are selected for their respective countries. A bit unlikely we’ll lose all of them, but you’ve got to account for all possibilities.
I agree Ian there do seem to be too many but I think we will be in much better shape than many clubs and way better than in seasons gone by.

JP suggests a good looking side during the Autumn Internationals but things look much healthier during the 6N:

1. F. van Wyk
2. Montoya
3. Cole
4. Green
5. Synman
6. Liebenberg
7. Van Staden
8. Wiese
9. JvP
10. Burns
11. Nadolo
12. Socino
13. Moroni
14. Saumaki
15. Murimurivalu

16. Youngs
17. Whitcombe
18. Leatigaga
19. Chessum
20. Brink
21. Wigglesworth
22. Hegarty
23. Porter

Who knows with Eddie.
I don't see him leaving England before the world cup as anything can happen.


Will Evans must be annoyed. One of the in form 7's leading the breakdown's get's injured and the younger cheaper player who filled in for him gets a call up to the training squad.

Wouldn’t read too much into the training squad to be honest, Ford showed he’s still the best 10 in England so I’ve no doubt he’ll be starting in the autumn.

Surprised JVP didn’t get the nod over Quirke, maybe Tigers bias. Both great 9s and could see them both being in the WC squad.

Glad to see May back in the mix, still think he’s got plenty to offer. Apparently with a summer off he’s been recording his best 100m times. Remember Shane Williams saying when he retired he was physically at his best stats wise - just the body took longer to recover.

Well if rumours are true he might have a chance at starting next season....
IDK I think Burns signed knowing he's going to be behind ford currently.

Reality is there are prob only a couple teams he would be a starter with
Falcons
Worcester
