Does the EPS still exist? I thought that was in place so that England had to nominate 40 - 50 players once every 6 months and the EPS was the limit as to what players England could have access to and this allowed the clubs to plan ahead.
EJ picking and choosing players on a week by week basis to have a couple of days with the wider squad doesn't seem equitable to the clubs based on the RFU/PRL agreement especially seeing as clubs are trying to manage training and playing bubbles and limited resources
