If they’re looking for one venue, Cardiff is the obvious place. They can close the roof in bad weather and there are a number of quality hotels for the team bubbles to stay in very close to the stadium.

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
Very true, we'll have to see if EJ will pick them and quarantine them prior to going in to the bubble or if he can'tWayne Richardson Fan Club wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 8:53 pm Bath latest club to shut training ground, might impact England squad.
How may this affect us?
Certainly if Watson is out think Steward could get looked at.
Stuart may mean Cole gets a call to see if he's willing to cover or possibly Heys gets a call up, but think that's unlikely. Other England players being missing aren't likely to affect us.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Scotland has some injury issues at hooker, which could see Jake Kerr involved again although of course his lack of game-time could still go against him

Make sure less players from a certain North London Club are selected....

And fewer from Tigers, Bath, Newcastle and Harlequins? Or is it just rule breakers from Saracens that are a problem?Wayne Richardson Fan Club wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 10:10 amMake sure less players from a certain North London Club are selected....

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
Well the stats from the Baas Baas pointed to one team in the main.....any player in any sport who ignores the protocols that allows them to continue playing should be heavily sanctioned.Tiglon wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 10:20 amAnd fewer from Tigers, Bath, Newcastle and Harlequins?

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
Well they were all heavily sanctioned and none of them are likely to be selected for England anyway, so what's your point? Other people should have their careers restricted because they work for the same company despite having done nothing wrong themselves?Wayne Richardson Fan Club wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 11:58 amWell the stats from the Baas Baas pointed to one team in the main.....any player in any sport who ignores the protocols that allows them to continue playing should be heavily sanctioned.Tiglon wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 10:20 amAnd fewer from Tigers, Bath, Newcastle and Harlequins?

Should Billy Vunipola be dropped from the England squad because Alex Lewington broke the rules? Which Bath player should be dropped to punish De Glanville for breaking the rules?

As half the England coaching team are now isolating all rather cuckoo anyway...

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
Cameron Redpath called up to the Scotland squad, as Gary Graham also makes a welcome return to the international fold.

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
Guess we’ll see if he gets a cap, surprised he didn’t wait for England as he’s been in some EPS and I’m sure Jones will have been in contact with him.
Glad Odogwu might get a shot. Always like how NZ pick their wingers purely on form regardless of test experience. If he’s tearing it up in the premiership, give him a shot. Then it’s down to him to keep putting in the performances and being selected.
Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
Possibly he has been told that he isn't in the running for an England spot at the moment. Doesn't really look like an Eddie Jones kind of player to me, not keen on tackling for a start. Probably a wise choice, he could be a regular for Scotland in future but I haven't seen anything to suggest he will become good enough to do the same for England.Leicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 4:23 pmGuess we’ll see if he gets a cap, surprised he didn’t wait for England as he’s been in some EPS and I’m sure Jones will have been in contact with him.
