Robson is far superior to Heinz, what goes on in Jones mind? Dobby may be considered unfit of course?

[Trevs Big Tackle]

Cipriani is in. Delighted for him.

[Rossm]

Cipriani is in. Delighted for him.

Yes. But so is Farrell & Ford. Will there be a further cull?

[andermt]

There are currently 35 + 3 extras for a max of 31 squad, so some will go.

[baldpaul101]

This still only a training squad.
There will be further players cut & there may very well be others brought in, I assume the warm up games are before the final squad naming so there's plenty of time for injuries to be picked up etc.

Until he announces the final squad no one is definitely in.

[Raggs]

Heinz + Cips
Spencer + Farrell
Youngs + Ford

Club units in a unit that's very important to have good understanding. Not ridiculous, but still odn't like Heinz being there.

[Nigel Med]

Yes, having 9's and 10's used to playing together helps but how many times has Heinz played alongside Cips compared to Dobby???

[Neils]

Dan has probably not yet been cleared by the vets. If so it is worrying for Wasps moving forward with Vellacott our senior scrum half!

[egg shaped man]

Dobby may still be on his meds, has anyone actually seen him doing contact training yet?   

Although I agree he and Cips do play well, Cips has moved on and cemented a new playing partnership which has proven very successful and Dobby has not played for months.

[Neils]

Cips will be dropped from the final pick.

[Old Geezer]

Surprised to see that Ben T'eo is unattached.  Didn't know that.  Useful player.

[Trevs Big Tackle]

There were rumours he might head to France but presumably can't announce anything until after the world cup.
