With 39 in the wider squad plus 5 players still rehabbing from injuries with them, I reckon there is still 10 players to cut from the squad, however based on his end of season form it's not close if he makes the squad, only if he makes the 15 or the 23
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

At my age, I can only dream of physicality in my tackle area….

Thought Rodd would replace Mako. Not surprised about Underhill, undercooked I fear
Marler seems to be invigorated under this new regime. With Genge guaranteed 2 spots up between 3 if Vunipola fit

Just occasionally, probably only three or four times a year, there is a gem of a comment amongst the mountains of responses on this forum. Where would we be without humour. Thanks Loretta!

Genge and probably Marler are in. Vunipola Vs VRR is the remaining question. I'm hoping they go with VRR I think he could be a good impact option off the bench.
