Arundell has been playing top level rugby and is eligible so I'm all in for him to get a shot in a training squad, I can't think of anyone's place he's taking? Who isn't in the prem final obv.
Let SB get a look at him. He and Quirke are similar in the fact they had all for form and highlight reel stuff but just for various reasons dropped off. The raw talent is there so when there's a chance to give them a shot to step up like an England XVs game from the bench I don't really mind especially with so many lions away.
Seen PBBs name alot but the guy is 2 seasons away at least IMO, great when he gets the ball but can be quiet, strong defender and at defensive reads but has struggled with positioning and whilst much improved his arial game needs work. Him an IFW will both push. I hope IFW is ready and fit given his long lay off but honestly a great talent and if he is ready, then again in a XVs game give him a chance.
I'd go
Baxter Dan Fasogbon
Itoje Coles
CCS Willis BCurry
Quirke Ford
Atkinson Dingwall
IFW Steward Roebuck
Langdon
Iyogun/Rodd
Davidson(not sure who we have here to cover.)
Clarke
Kenningham
Porter
Slade
Arundell
Dan needs gametime and a chance same as Langdon but he's ahead in the England set up.
Fasogbon give him a shot in a nothing game we dont have huge THP reserves
Slade emergency 10
Itoje Coles has no 'TH lock' so CCS and Willis in the back line add some power and don't lack Balance in that Back row. Kenningham from the bench he's earned a shot.
Quirke is most likely of the props in camp and needs a chance in a XV game to show he's worth keeping.
Slade to cover 10 12 13.
IFW needs gametime and is rather start him and take him off when needed as game fitness could be an issue.
Arundell why not, maybe comes of for Steward if IFW going well but raw talent and playing at a good level in France but not set the world on fire. Needs to prove himself. Same boat as Quite in the too talented to ignore, too many people playing better than them to be considered for a proper game.
Zero Bath/Tigers players in the team. Let them rest/prepare for the bigger games.
