Sam Simmonds is injured I think. After bks lukewarm performance today Underhill will be lucky to be on the plane, there's a plethora of backrow options to pick from particularly at openside.Scott1 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 8:30 pmSam Simmonds will be in the mix too.

Chick wasn’t terrible today, and I desperately hope that we don’t see Curry or Ludlam at 8. Barbeary might get called up, and Earl may find himself a spot - not that we need any more 7s!
I understand people don’t like his histrionics but if Earl isn’t on that plane there is a big problemsam16111986 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 10:07 pmSam Simmonds is injured I think.

We could see a recall for Earl or Ludlum as they cover the entire backrow.
More worryingly one of the match reports after Saturday stated that Porter was attracting interest from Australia, implying the Super Rugby sides were after his services.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 9:14 pmOdds on Porter or Potter getting a phone call may be shortening.

I have a feeling EJ doesn’t want an odd live wire like Earls around the squad.wigworth wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 9:57 am Happy for Porter he absolutely deserves his success and hopefully bodes well for him being a Tiger long term.
Billy V is a well deserved call up, he looks back to play near his best again. No Ben Earl is quite surprising given how well he has been playing and I did think Louis Lynagh might get a go in the squad.
