True, but given Pollard and Steward will likely be away until ~ November, that’s Atkinson at 10 and Shillcock at 15. If Atkinson picks up an injury, we are Shillcock at 10 and Brown at 15… and Walsh or Meredith as the bench 10. An extra body could be wise, and Wilkinson has talent to showcase and could be a shrewd addition for the right price and suggestion IMO.
its the prem cup though during the World Cup period so is that such a bad thing?
Only the pool period stage, any players who make the final will miss prob 5/6 rounds
other than Pollard I doubt we'll have to worry too much about that

I’m sure Jasper will be shocked that you’ve dropped him from the Boks squad

We had the 2nd best lineout in Europe for retaining possession last season.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Yes agreed. Brown has been magnificent for us at 15 so unless he needs a rest I'd expect him to be 1st choice in Stewards absence. Shillcock will need time to bed in and prove himself.

Probably nothing but a highlights reel for James Cherry, a flanker for Nottingham, has appeared on Freddie Stewards instagram.

Anyone shed any light

They went to Norwich School together. So likely just Steward helping out a friend.

Cherry was a standout for Notts Uni in BUCS during his time there though and we are increasingly seeing players recruited from the BUCS system so it wouldn't surprise me if he picks up a contract.

Thanks for the info. Yes the BUCS system seems to be a potential recruitment ground. Exeter unearthed a couple of gems from Exeter Uni last season
