England EPS 2017/18 edition.

[Scotty]

Has anyone got a full list of training camp injuries during EJs time incharge? Not on field but off field numbers seem v high.

Especially effects young players such as genge as players at his level where he is playing well, proving himself, first choice for tigers and a strong contender for an england spot. Being out till jan means he has a month to prove himself before the 6N and thats a month if there are no complications.

Injuries will happen but its getting too far from the odd one.

Eddy to announce training squad next week
For august get together
So who's in and who's not fit?

 

[RedruthRFC]

You mean who's not fir and who's about to be not fit!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

You'd hope almost no one who toured in the summer,
Lads need a proper rest not a couple of weeks then straight into eddies borderline lethal training sessions

So RFU chief has been talking to BBC about backing EJ and all that. Did mention the defence coach. Said RFU is in discussions with various people and it's EJ call. I guess bit that interest me is he said looking at hiring an attacks coach. I would guess full time. Both to be done before the autumn internationals. Be interesting to see if all this happens before the training squad.

This comment seems familiar over the last 12 months.

First choice players it will be then...

We should have a little sweep stake for who we think will be injured in each set of training session.s

Read this on the BBC site. Wasn’t quite a vote of confidence, but he basically said that things had to improve both on and off the pitch. Fallout could be interesting if the AIs don’t go to plan.

Except that the calendar permits, doesn’t feel like there’s a great deal of point to an Aug get together - players don’t need bashing up and the key coaches aren’t in place.

Hot young LHP #4
Anyone who looks like they might challenge Farrell for the 12 shirt
Any SH who looks international standard, but isn't Youngs/Care (actually, I'm not I needed that "but" in there, Youngs and Care have only ever looked international standard when the other one is starting)

As if a player like that will get into the squad in the first place.

I dont think watson will be our FB, more likly daly will move to 15 perminantly and keep watson wing, watson didnt fill me with confidence at 15 for england. Manu needs real strong start to prem to have a chance, an epic start to push out ford.

Vunipola signed on at Sarries for 4 more years. Guess he isn’t keen on NFL anymore

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Nice looking squad actually. Ash has returned

Ashton will do great there this season i think, hes know for making breaks and running strong lines, with faf and solomona ect running support lines they could be a very dangerous back line.
