Has anyone seen the photo of George Martin on the BBC Sport App - Rugby Union page? He looks to have stacked on a bit of weight this summer!
Cheering on the Tigers in Detroit.
Previously a slower, shorter, less good looking version of Tom Croft.

I would say he has bulked rather than put weight on, I doubt if SB would be happy or picking him if he had put weight on

It seems that Cam Henderson has been released from the Scotland RWC Squad, and is now back at Tigers

Scotland’s loss is our gain. Having Cam back is huge if Wells is out still and Carter not yet seen in training.

This will be the making of Cam - he’ll be in that Thistle shirt come the 6N.

If we loose both Chessum and Martin will be important.
What’s the story on Carter would have thought he would be here by now

Unknown, but he's not been seen in any training photos or had his squad photo taken, him and Wells were both rumoured injured about when we signed Williams.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Great to have Cam back but he’ll definitely be back in blue soon .. Gilchrist and both Grays can’t play for much longer and I think he’ll play alongside Cummings for some years to come.

Cam and Williams is a nice balance for me until we get the rest back playing

Would imagine Cam & Carter would be the more likely combo assuming Carter is fit

Sorry to hear Cameron Henderson has been cut as I think he's class, but as others have said, Scotland's loss is our gain.

What a squad, if Savea is in monster mode for much of the World Cup then the all blacks will be close. France and Ireland to push them!!

Have a feeling Ireland have peaked too soon and a lot of teams will look at the European blueprint on how Leinster are beaten and try and duplicate that. Conversely I think NZ have timed it perfectly and I tip them to win it. France are definitely in the mix too. Not sure about SA either,awesome squad but I just think those 2 are ahead at present
