No Willis! What's Eddie on, for God's sake?
The good news is that he can prepare to be in the Toulouse squad away to Lyon on Sunday!

Wonder if Genge will be dropped, particularly as Rodd has been included?
There are five second rows in this squad, which means that there'll be one in the back row out of position :smt017
Freeman to play? Hope so.

Freeman,Rodd and Tizzard won’t make the cut most likely

Willis signed for a French club its outside the test window probably had to send him over there

Slade

If that’s the starting pack, Eddie is doing JVP no favours again… could be a tough first period trying to get any gainline carries with those starting against the Boks…

Wouldn't surprise me if he went 6/2 split either

So that would mean Tizzard instead of Porter?

England suddenly look really underpowered again.

That would be annoying if Porter wasn’t In the 23 but couldn’t have been released to Tigers vs Irish… 😏

Apologises, I must have been dreaming I thought MVS left us as he had to retire due to injury :smt017
Wow that must have been some bender night when I thought I had read that

It’s basically all down to insurance, we couldn’t/wouldn’t, South Africans decided they could.
Does make you wonder though doesn’t it, bit like the Iranian goalie trying to stay on the other day.
