We have to have Earl in the 23,at least. Looks like one of Willis and Curry have to miss out

Re: Rugby World Cup warm up games
OF had a 4 weeks ban in January and this is part of a pattern.
I don’t see much in mitigation for his actions today - no falling player or sudden change in direction - just more lazy tackling.
So - couldn’t this be a doubled length ban? Would that make it 8 weeks? If so, can he be replaced in the squad? (Please)

Re: Rugby World Cup warm up games
Yes,squad doesn’t have to be pencilled in until 21st August. If it’s a short ban we will just travel with him in the squad and just be a man light for the Argentina game. If it is a long ban then he has to be replaced and then he can be on standby in case of injuryGrimlish wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 7:53 pm OF had a 4 weeks ban in January and this is part of a pattern.

I hope the injury to JVP wasn’t as bad as it looked. Will be gutted for the lad if it’s bad. George Martin seemed to also be heavily strapped.

Why wasn’t Martin replaced? I’m sure he played the full game!aslongaswebeatsaints wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 7:58 pm I hope the injury to JVP wasn’t as bad as it looked. Will be gutted for the lad if it’s bad. George Martin seemed to also be heavily strapped.

Re: Rugby World Cup warm up games
It smells completely correct!! If someone can list me the advantages of Farrell at fly half then I would be amazed, he generally kicks his pens and that really is about it!! How can this fascination continue and slow/stunt any English progress!! Would he start for Ireland, Italy, France, Scotland, Wales, NZ, Australia, SA, the answer is no, would he start for Namibia, maybe!!!

Scotland starting well
I think you enjoy the game more if you don't know the rules. Anyway, you're on the same wavelength as the referees.

He stripped off at one point though so the coaches must not have been happy with somethingDarc Tiger wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 8:14 pmLittle point in playing Hill unless absolutely necessaryScott1 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 8:00 pmWhy wasn’t Martin replaced?
