How did you get the invite RG? :smt002 Just asking for a friend :smt044
😂😂😂 I’m not northern enough for an invite. No there were some lovely photos on Ford’s Instagram including some what looked like Greek dancing. Hope his Achilles is ok
Dan Kelly was tagged in one instagram picture from George's brother so was definitely there.

Question is, was he there because he was injured and didn't have to be at preseason. Or did he get himself let off preseason to attend, think the former is much more likely, as reckon (but don't know) that some of the other players he's played with for longer may have gone e.g. YBY if all players were able to skip bits of preseason.
I imagine the wedding was at a weekend and the players probably get those off over pre season.

I hope he went easy on the refreshments, a Walters fitness session on the Monday after over indulging at the weekend wouldn't be much fun :smt078

Saw Eastmond tagged and Jonny May but none of the usual England suspects like Farrell. Think Fordy is quite an introvert so as well respected as he was at Tigers May not have built that many close friendships. All guess work of course.

He was a bit of a loner

People willing to believe that DK is still injured now?

Certainly something isn’t right but unfortunately all we’ve got is guess work.

He had surgery after his last game, posted it on Instagram story. I'd imagine he's just not ready yet?

I think under the circumstances of last season, they want to make absolutely sure DK is as recovered as he can be...

Thanks for that, problem is with IG stories disappear after 24 hours!

I’m assuming there was no sign of Kelly warming up with the side yesterday

Kelly is such an important player for us would sooner the club are ultra cautious rather than rush him back.

According to the Rugby Union Weekly podcast, Ashton's picked up a "little knock in preseason"

Perhaps that was from being clattered around the shoulders by a big PI winger.
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….

Good little video showing the players training on a sponsor day.

Few key points.
1) England lads in training here too
2) The following players are all seen taking part in a contact training session in the video (all of these had injury doubts about them)

Calum Green 0.23 red bib
Chris Ashton 0.43 red bib
Anthony Watson 1.16 blue bib
Bryce Hegarty 2.23 blue bib


There's also a possible sighting of Dan Kelly in a blue bib at 0.10 but it's the back of him and am not sure it's him at all....
