Dear Eddie
Thanks for the squad announcement. Some comments if I may:
Cockanasiga, Daly, May, McConnochie and Watson? Okay. I like seeing new blood tried, and with the question-mark over Nowell, and with Thorley injured for most of the end of last season, McConnochie is as good a pick as any. Thanks for sending Brown home.
Francis, Joseph, Marchant, Slade and Tuilagi? You couldn’t have tried Marchant before now? Well, maybe that I can forgive, but Piers Francis? WTF? I can see why Te’o had been there but Piers Francis! Really?
Farrell and Ford? You and I both know who you’re missing there.
Heinz and Youngs? Did you say, “Heinz and Youngs”? Did you mean to say, “Robson and Spencer”, or even, “Robson and Youngs”, and it came out wrong? Heinz and Youngs. Fcuk!
Genge, Marler and Sinkler? Yep. Well done, but tell Rapava Ruskin to stay fit will you?
Cowan-Dickie, George and Singleton? Okay.
Cole, Vunipola and Williams? As good as pretty-much any other group of three English-qualified tight heads that includes Vunipola.
Ewels, Itoje, Kruis, Launch’ and Lawes? I wish I could trust you to know who to send home on Sunday.
Curry, Ludlam, Underhill, Vunipola and Wilson? You’ve surprised me keeping Ludlam over Dombrandt but you’re there and I’m here. Not that that’s prevented you from making worse decisions than me in the past. Keep remembering Brad.
Don't break them please.
Hugs & kisses
Chilham
