[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 1018555, member: 53057"] Coombes was never 'officially' in the squad. Him and Baird were both announced as 'training' with the squad. Weirdly Ed Byrne also trained with the squad last week but wasn't announced. Now according to Kinsella's update Byrne and Baird are being announced as training with the squad while Conan is officially a call up and seems to be considered a swap for POM more than Coombes. I'm an unabashed Conan fan so I'm not massively disappointed. I think Coombes is a future international but I don't see it right now against the likes of France. Conan has had a long road back but he has the dynamism so many of us want. If they had no plans of involving Coombes in the 23 then I don't really care, tbh this decision isn't likely to be the making or breaking of anything. I'd rather Coombes gets involved against Edinburgh than be a reserve for France. (I know it's technically possible he could do both but it doesn't seem to be the way things are operating at the moment). [/QUOTE]
