Praying - no!

Let every other team lose players to Eddie please. We need a little advantage in our next few matches.

100% need Alfie with Wasps. Eddie has too much history when it comes to breaking our players.

England if they used their resources could be a better and more consistent team. Alfie could easily be another including Lawrence, Martin and Isiekwe who needed managing in different ways and would grace most 6Ns squads....Hell I bet Nick wishes he has a Scottish uncle.....terrific player out on loan and a leader. Not even in the squad...And Martin seemingly picked too early and rejected, and as for Lawrence....seemingly blamed for appalling 6Ns performances by senior players last 6Ns...when England could really do with some muscle outside Smith....

Agreed with all of the above!
Just a few  months with us in the back row, please. There will be plenty of time for him to play for England.

Only just back from injury. Despite his instant impact for us he really needs to get quality game time under his belt. I'd worry that if Eddie picks him he'll end up carrying the bags round for several weeks like Paolo did. That won't be good for us or Alfie.

Presumably there will be less of a Covid bubble for the squad to operate in this time so leaving to play for clubs will be easier for players not selected for games

Well he's in.  No surprise at all.  Underhill dropped, so maybe he will be involved beyond holding tackle bags all week.
