And apparently BV has been rejected "never to return" because of attitude and negativity around camp.....which given his club form and England's failings, ball in hand, is rather a shame.....

He's no longer worried about what Mental eddie will say or do if he doesn't toe the line, and is back to just being a talented rugby player.I'd also like to propose that the converse is true of Dobby. He is playing the way we hate to watch Youngs play for England, because the unhinged one has told him "what he needs to work on"...
... what an old hooker would know about playing 9 is anyone's guess.

BV's club stats from Opta are right back were they were when England won games assertively. Last time seen vs France last 6Ns....and Dan seems lost - and what an old hooker would know about playing 9 is anyone's guess.

Tweet from Bobby Bridge:The Times has reported that Itoje is a 'late doubt' for England. If he doesn't feature v Ireland, one suspects that Launchbury will start with Chessum promoted to the bench. OR Dombrandt could be a lock option (Cardiff Met days) with Barbeary added to bench...
