England Squad for 6 Nations

[Neils]

Ealing signing 12x3 and Jordy Reid for next season.

You think they have been told they can be promoted at the end of this season....?

Yep - the EAs approved them.

[RogerE]

We've been going there since Wasps demise and there is no way that ground will be approved.

They have to win it 1st, only 5 points ahead of Jersey.

Just watched Borthwick’s squad announcement press conference. So refreshing after the dark years of EJ which saw me lose almost all interest in England. Same for Sinfield as well.

Still not interested.  If Fazlet is given the elbow I maybe might perhaps possibly be 0.1 per cent interested.  Or not.

Yup

[Neils]

And Slade gets his red card dismissed.

[DGP Wasp]

Rightly so. Ridiculous decision. Yellow at worst. Arguably penalty only.

[Bloke in North Dorset]

Agreed, but after the OF decision it doesn't help with the perception of the integrity of the game.

 Video here if anyone hasn't seen it.

Seatbelt tackles should never be any more than a yellow.

What about handoffs? Quite often they hit the shoulder/head area, but as they are usually done by the player attacking they seem to go unpunished, unless of course if it is a Wasps player doing it on a French player in which case it goes to the French courts and damages awarded against. the English Player (That's a reference to Phil Greening's hand off against Rougerie back in 2002 when Rougerie took out a civil action following throat injury and ended up with Greening being ordered to pay about £30k compensation)

Back in my playing days, we used to play against a club with a winger who had only one hand. Believe me, a stump off made your eyes water! His ball handling was a bit flakey tho'😁
