Apologies for 'Spoiler and (Show)'.   Dunno how I did that!

The French might be buggers, but they are our buggers.
I once had a lab partner from France in the late 90s. Once England played France in the 5n first up. He said to me, in a room full of Welsh,  in a strongly accented French voice, 'tis a pity that ze 5n starts with ze final'. Priceless.

No massive surprise really looking particularly at the losing semi players coming in, back to the beach or Budapest for the lads.

I'm going to change my opinion from a week ago.
Yes, that training week might motivate a player or two.
But getting discarded after only one week is pretty poor. I thought they would have been retained until at least the BaBa's game.
Apparently not.

At least he's gone for Danny Care. That guy should never have been that far away from the England team.
But it seals Dan Robson's England future once and for all. In other words...he doesn't have one.

Good to see Radwan and Arundell retained. Would like to see them get some game time...just in case they are a duck to water at international level.

So that's 19 Wasps players called up by Eddie since he took over as England coach. Eight still waiting for a cap and two on just the one cap.

Ha. Got 11 but didn't realised it was timed.

Jones really is a special man manager isn’t he. Still, an extra week of training for nothing at all for those released. The likes of Robson have the added pleasure of being kicked in the teeth on their way out. I wonder if next time he’s asked Robson might be tempted to refuse? Still, it’s all been worthwhile.

There's no way Chick, Jeffries or Ludlam are better players than Tom Willis

Oh, and 15 on the quiz. Cracking bit of fun that
