I think you are reading too much into a totally innocous situation. We will be a better team when both of them are back on the park that is for sure.
I think we were both being slightly tongue-in-cheek there and, of course, their return is very much looked forward to!
Slightly tongue-in-cheek indeed it was, something that seems a little lost on many these days.
It's only a game and much more important things to be bothered about.
I do this just for a laugh as I don't get many since my missus removed all the mirrors from the house!
Are you say I'm T E N S E !!!!!

Sam Simmonds injured for six months and Jonny Hill injured for a lengthy period too, Simmonds injury doesn’t really affects us might see the recall of Morgan which would be great but Hill’s injury means when Spencer returns or even Mike Williams (he deserves it too) they have less competition for EPS places.

There's a lot of locks for England to choose from. Lawes, Launchbury, Itoje will all be in there and then Attwood, Slater, Kruis and Isiekwe. Can't see Williams making it, Spencer might have made it had the ban not ruled him out for so many games.

Don’t forget Stooke, criminally underrated and has always played well for England whenever given the chance against the Barbarians.

Stooke, Slater and Spencer are deserving of an England place, Atwood and Kruis aren’t.

Yet Attwood starts for Bath ahead of Stooke. He's in very good form again. The sort of form that got him a call up a few years back. His time may have passed and England aren't short of other options, but Attwood is close to his best.

Courtney Lawes has re-signed for northampton until 2021, shame I was hoping all the talk of Etzebeth, was a smoke screen so we could put in an offer to Lawes to bring him up the m1.

An excellent player hampered by injury recently. Italy especially have really missed him.

Fiss further comments "Just to make it clear Michele Campagnaro has been paid up by Exeter and the move to Wasps is for this season"

Nathan Hughes set for £500,000 a year move to Bristol - story on @MailSport now.

If true - that's a real blow to Wasps!

I think that’s because the All Blacks are luring Luatua back to the country. Bristol need some props and another flyhalf.
