The RFU and Steve Borthwick must be pretty annoyed

Oh well, some might say there's a karmic justice in that if they are. I think that's a great choice for J Willis, fair play. He has an opportunity and he's taken it, beautiful part of the world and place to be.

Young, probably more money, sun and sea, near family. A nice place to be living. Can't blame him.

I'd personally have preferred playing for England, but i long ago stopped expecting my priorities to be the same as others
 
Seb Atkinson out for at least 2 months aswell.

So does Willis stay in the squad or get removed?

Does Callum Chick come back in to the equation?
Ted Hill at 8?
Does the Exeter lad (Finau is it?) get a look in or is he too similar to Pollock and Earl?

I say get Dombrandt back to solve the problem..
 
Is Hill gonna be fit? Looked a nasty injury

It'll probably be Earl, realistically - maybe a start for Pollock? But considering he's not getting starts for his club I'm not sure whether England will do?

They have told the press Willis is getting removed so I can’t see them u turning even with injury issues cussing further shortages.

Not keen on England keep trying to get Dombrandt to perform in an England shirt.
 
I'll be disappointed if Joe Batley doesn't get a call up. He also has experience playing 8 and a bit of 6. Great form still.

Could also argue the case for James Dun and Joe Owen. Bristol stacked with quality locks who all offer something a bit different. I can't see Fitz Harding getting in to the England back row as the depth there, especially 7, is nutty. Suits the club though so not complaining.
 


‘In addition, as part of a development agreement with Saracens, Noah Caluori, will join the squad for training.

Rehabilitation: Tom Curry (Sale Sharks), Elliot Daly (Saracens), Jack van Poortvliet (Leicester Tigers).’
