There were some similar comments to this a few weeks ago.
Does anyone else think this might be a little disheartening to the current academy crop?

Willis, Porter and Umaga will surely come through but not sure where that leaves Langley, James, Thornton, Seabrook, Wilson etc? Are they realistically just not going to make the cut?
The ones who came up last year were from a very successful U18 team, like we have seen this year and will surely stand a good chance of becoming first team regulars one day but like Dai said this will be a few years off.

I would hope that most understand their likely future already, they wouldn't need to see an article in the local paper to tell them.....

Vellacott and Owlett have both represented Scotland at age group and/or U20 levels, leaving Daniels as the only English recruit from the seven.

[baldpaul101]

Vellacott has also trained with England he hasn't committed himself to either country as yet.

[Raggs]

Yep. No binding caps on either.

So Vellacott and Owlett are still EQP?

[baldpaul101]

in theory, yes, I think so
