For those worried about tonight, am wearing the new practice top I got for my birthday, not particularly of note apart from the fact the only game I've not worn it this year (was in the wash) was the Scarlets warm up game...

Will George be in a taxi at 7pm tonight heading for a reunion with Eddie. I really hope not but if he is I hope he takes a very big slice of humble pie for Eddie to consume.

Cockers has said they won't be calling him up mate

Why would they call up George when they have got Furbank....!!??
Dont all cry at once..
Eddie Jones has made a few massive cock ups, this is up there with the best..

Surely, Tonga is exactly the sort of game that you can try things like this. EJ knows what GF can do. A win for England at home is the only realistic result whoever plays in the backline.

I’m no EJ cheerleader, but not sure how you put this one down to him. Smith’s injury apparently occurred before he arrived with England - and I doubt even Eddie’s unconventional methods include giving OF COVID….

With the World Cup fast approaching, EJ has to know if Furbank is a genuine option at 10 in an international game, outside of the many minutes he has there in training. Otherwise, there’s no point taking him in the World Cup squad.

it was Eddie's choice to only have 2 fly halves in the squad when he intends to use Farrell at 12 that makes even less sense

Anyone know who the lad at 0:07 is? To the left of Hegarty?

no clue
Potentially someone brought in for the prem cup/trail

SK 88 on the unoffy had a good call with Morgan Meredith? Different haircut but looks very similar.

Me too, I expect a win and in spite of what everyone says in public, I think this will be one of those games where the result is all that counts. We can take a metaphorical breath and move on once we have the W.

lovely little dig from SB aimed at Bath in his pre match interview about "putting things on club websites" about absent players

Can anyone pm me a ruskie link please?

Is the TMO on a tea break already?

[Jimmy Skitz]

TMO misses a tip tackle and they then score a try, nice work TMO
