Uncapped XV/XXIII

[will311293]

So was listening to Greenwood podcast this morning and mentioned he was writing a piece on an uncapped youngsters to XV/XXIII to play in this 8 nations tournament if Eddie fancied trying something new.

So was having a think on the tube this morning and thought it would be fun to test you all, knowing how much you all love a challenge and a debate . So my ruling for it was that the player can't have been capped in an international, (not even 1) and must not be over age of 25. Obviously if anyone wants to offer any other rules then happy to extend /include but seemed easier to work off that. Just thinking about mine now but thought fun to get it up and see what we get.

Thibaud.  Stop him playing for France!

Uncapped, I presume you mean excluding age teams (U18 etc)?

[will311293]

Yes so, can't have been capped by the first team as England XV... however, you can include people like Moon, Redpath, Umaga, Mitchell etc who haven't been officially capped by England but have trained with them

 Probably got the rules wrong but how about Willis Bros and  Tom West?  Now shoot me down!

[Shugs]

A few spring to mind. Ollie Laurence, Alex Mitchell, Jack Willis, Jacob Umaga, Gabriel Oghre, Ted Hill, Ben Loader, Tom West, Ben Curry?

Ted Hill already has a cap I believe.

[St Bruno]

Ben Harris, Josh Bassett

I suspect that Ben and Josh are both over 25.

Ok, I'll give it a go, quite a few have been mentioned. Don't think any of these have caps but couldn't swear to it. Jonny Hill is 26 but I'd include him, if not, I've moved up Ribbans and put Kpoku on the bench (systems player/game changer - whatever nonsense you want).

That's not bad, Jac!
