Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
I don't see Hurd getting into a 23 unless there are a couple of injuries. Great experience for him but very unlikely to impact Tigers.
I'd be shocked if Cole gets into the England squad. I don't think he's one of the oldies that'll get kept on for leadership and continuity.
Even Heyes isn't nailed on, although I do expect him to make the squad.

Guessing as Roebuck and Feyi-Waboso didn’t make Scotland or Welsh squads they’ll be picked for England.
Have to imagine SB spends nights dreaming of Roebuck. Like his ideal winger who chases kicks all day and can attack the highball. Scoring tries, that’s for hookers off the back of mauls, not wingers!

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Here's the French 6N squad just announced by Fabien Galthié.
Grégory Alldritt will be captain for the first match against Ireland in Marseille on Friday February 2nd.
Two pairs of club half backs have been picked, Lucu and Jalibert of Bordeaux/Bègles and Le Garrec and Gibert of Racing (if Gibert cements his place in the squad, I wonder what effect that may have on Owen Farrell's decision to join Racing, or not?)
There a a few very promising youngsters included, notably Gailleton and Depoortere at centre and Halagahu in the 2nd row.
Woki can count himself lucky to be there as I've read that his form has dipped this season, but he's evidently a favourite of the coach and gets picked.
Props : Baille, Wardi, S. Taofifenua, Aldegheri, Atonio, Laclayat
Hookers : Marchand, Mauvaka, Barlot
2nd row : Meafou, R. Taofifenua, Woki, Gabrillagues, Halagahu
Back row : Alldritt, Cros, Jelonch, Ollivon, Abadie, Boudehent
Scrum halves : Le Garrec, Lucu
Outside halves: Gibert, Jalibert
Centres : Danty, Depoortere, Fickou, Moefana, Gailleton
Wingers : Bielle-Biarrey, Penaud, Lebel
Fullbacks : Jaminet, Ramos

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Really surprised that Cole has been picked.
I don't understand Slade and Spencer - difficult to comprehend how they weren't deemed good enough for the last World Cup, but are part of the planning for the next one, which they have very little chance of playing in.
