[QUOTE="BPM, post: 848236, member: 59968"] Since the Saxons tour of SA, Ewels and Taylor have established themselves in the main EPS and Robson, Devoto, Haley and Roko have featured in the extended squad. Sam Jones probably would have too but for the judo sessions. There is definitely a place for the Saxons, but not in a season when a Lions tour will take 10-15 of our best players. It's not impossible, but with a couple of exceptions, I don't genuinely believe any of the Saxons squad Tigs named are going to force their way in to the EPS, let alone the match day 23 between now and 2019, so I'd question it's worth right now. The Lions tour and Argentina give us an opportunity to test our realistic depth. We're pretty much half way through the World Cup cycle, so I think we need to be focusing on circa 50 'likely candidates' rather than broadening further - basically our Lions tourists plus the squad for Argentina and a couple who may be injured.
