Heyes hasn't played for several weeks so I'd be surprised if he isn't released just to get minutes under his belt, if England do need him then he's going to be rusty if he doesn't play Vs Sarries.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 8:50 pmThink so, was a lot of blood and hard to know if it's just a nose bleed, but if broken or concussion etc then much less likely Heyes will get released which would be a massive lossScott1 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 8:48 pmWas it Genges foot?TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 8:43 pm Really hoping that Sinckler hasn't broken his nose.

West, Montoya, Heyes and Whitcombe, Clare, Hurd is two decent sets of front row considering we're missing our starting props.

Heyes won't be released if Sinckler can't train, they will retain enough in the squad to practise scrummaging so min 2 front rows.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 10:13 amHeyes hasn't played for several weeks so I'd be surprised if he isn't released just to get minutes under his belt, if England do need him then he's going to be rusty if he doesn't play Vs Sarries.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 8:50 pmThink so, was a lot of blood and hard to know if it's just a nose bleed, but if broken or concussion etc then much less likely Heyes will get released which would be a massive loss

If I could put a photo on here I could show you, it is a cut down his forehead over his left eye and down his nose, In my totally unqualified opinion he will be fit for the Wales matchTigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 10:27 amHeyes won't be released if Sinckler can't train, they will retain enough in the squad to practise scrummaging so min 2 front rows.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 10:13 amHeyes hasn't played for several weeks so I'd be surprised if he isn't released just to get minutes under his belt, if England do need him then he's going to be rusty if he doesn't play Vs Sarries.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 8:50 pm

That is definitely good news, hopefully means Heyes can still be releasedChobbsy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 10:33 amIf I could put a photo on here I could show you, it is a cut down his forehead over his left eye and down his nose, In my totally unqualified opinion he will be fit for the Wales matchTigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 10:27 amHeyes won't be released if Sinckler can't train, they will retain enough in the squad to practise scrummaging so min 2 front rows.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 10:13 am

Dan Cole clearly isn't a finisher, I think he was called up by SB because he had no one else fit, Dan didnt have the best of times in his visit so could SB swap Heyes back to being a finisher if Sinckler is fit to start or Stuart fit, and we have Dan back?

Doubt it. Dan is a solid option and England are short of props that are solid. Heyes is developing nicely but not many tier 1 nations opt for 23 year old tightheads for a reason.
Will Stuart is already ruled out of the 6N I think.
Re: Tigers v Saracens (H) - Sunday 19th February 2023 - KO 3-00pm
If Borthwick can't replace Macko, he has no choice but to play his best scrummaging tight head at the same time.
Presumably this is why Cole isn't starting and allowing Sinckler to come on and do his stuff in the loose.
If he could select VRP he could start Genge and Cole and bring on VRP and Sinckler to maintain scrummaging and a dynamic prop in the loose through the whole game.

Not one Sarries player released.
Heyes being released is huge for us.
Youngs is also a big plus (though we have a bit more depth at 9 atm with Whiteley & Wolstenholme arrivals)
Only pity IMO is Watson not released, however with Brown having signed and Atkinson having done well at FB, that is important
