I thought Hegarty and Cowan-Dickie were both gone?

Hegarty still listed on the team sheet as is TCD, no idea how up to date that is.

Don’t think so. Hegarty off at the end of November as is Nadolo TCD still here due to absence of Montoya and Dolly

Chessum will be back game week 3 and Weise at start of December, that's if Weise does the European series with SA they might opt to mix it up given the number of options at 8 and the third and fourth choice having only a couple of caps between them.

Wells could also drop to 8 in an emergency and there's other academy players plus Notts loans.
Chester Owens reportedly had a good game for Leicester Lions against Nuneaton. Koroiyadi also training with squad as well.

Forgot about Simmons and it’s called just balancing the look of the squad I’m not writing a full depth hart for each position a player can cover…

Ilione has played a lot of games at 8 and looked good there for England Under 20's, he covers the whole back row.

Of our back rowers, I'd say only Reffell doesn't cover more than one position.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Likely to be with England and will also need some time off following the tour.

Guy is back in training, I spoke to him a couple of days ago, think both he and Harry said they were off to Jersey match.

The 5 England boys can’t play until the 3rd fixture anyway especially as they all took part in the last test. So that’s Heyes Chessum JVP Porter and Steward, who seems to be in Sardinia at present
