Title: Kyle Eastmond
Post by: Rossm on December 18, 2017, 11:20:58 AM
In his games after coming back from a long injury, he has really played well. He was close to my MoM yesterday. And, along with Launch, he is in The Telegraph's European team of the weekend. If there is the slightest doubt about Gopps fitness then I would be quite happy to see Kyle start against Glaws. In fact I would be tempted to start him anyway, however Elliot may be unfit and that would mean we are out another kicker. Gets on well with WLR.

He had an excellent game yesterday. As did many in the team.

I've noticed that everyone in the team seems to get on well with Willie.  Given his uneven performance and consequent relationship with the fans, it's good to see.

When Willie's smiling and enjoying his rugby, we are usually doing well.

Superb try saving tackle on the rampaging La Roch hooker yesterday. Just enough arms to keep it legal.

need to have Miller as backup kicker, might be fullback if we are without daly and bassett

Miller as the back up 10 more likely if Jimmy is not fit.

Meh, I think most of you know that I'm a very big Eastmond fan :D.  And I'd be much happier knowing that Gopps has been spending each week training to play at 10.

If anything Kyle is playing better now than he was pre-injury.  But I still don't know if I'd pick him ahead of Jimmy...

Latest injury update suggests Kyle will be getting plenty of game time. Daly was due a rest, but with Jimmy out its looking serious

I think too much is made of Cipriani's kicking.
It'll be fine

Re Jimmy, I meant more in terms of cover at 10. Cips kicks fine, but he will need to play every game?
