Mentioned it in the challenge cup thread but Underhill banned for four weeks - meaning he'll miss one or two of the summer games (depending on if Bath make the final...so one!)

Would imagine he won't make the squad in that case considering it's only a three game tour and the third game is vs USA

Presume he wouldn't want to play against his home nation as well. :)

Sam will be in the bad books. Fancy rocking up to a disciplinary and arguing your case rather than completely falling on your sword as you’re supposed to.

Having only just seen the incident I have some sympathy for his argument that it didn’t warrant a red, although with the prevailing mood the ultimate outcome was inevitable. Given Underhill was where he was I’m not sure what else he could have realistically done.
 
The BBC say the A match is covered so it only be the first match in Argentina.

Still given the back row options is there any real reason to bring someone who will miss that first test?
Not like we are pushed for spots
6. CCS, Hill, Kenningham,
7. Curry, Pepper, Ilione
8. Willis, Alfie, Dombrandt

It's not like we are desperate for him
 
Even if the game v Fra is out of scope, if Bath made the final wouldn’t the ban cover R18, SF, F and Arg1? Presumably the RFU couldn’t make any assumptions around the likelihood of him being rested this weekend.

If he’s available for 2 tour matches I’d take him, but not otherwise.
