Tbh, it's all logic when it comes to genes. It's just complicated (I work in genetics).mum may be tall?
Although my My cousin is 6 foot 3 or 4 and my auntie and uncle are both under 5 foot 3. And he's Chinese. These things can happen. No logic when it comes to genes.
Nowell out for another 5/6 weeks.
Sinks is banned for the first game though - Marler is his auxillary prop (despite not being really) so either Sinks comes in a week late (which i don't think is allowed) or he has to take 6...
That's a good point. Williams is as well for Wales. Not as bad for Wales as they should be able to get away with selecting Williams and having him unavailable, but it doesn't help matters. Sinckler is a more difficult issue as if you select him and he can't play you still need enough props. However as it's the first game I imagine they could get away with Genge & Vunipola and Stuart & Marler. Then Sinckler can come in after and free up Marler. It's a risk, especially as first game is against Scotland and it would mean Marler potentially against Sutherland who has been in ridiculous form.
Potentially select 5 and then Williams gets "injured in training" and sinks comes in?
I imagine any 'injured in training' would be monitored. Also just realised that I misread. This only affects England doesn't it. Let's stick to arrogant English stereotypes, we're just giving ourselves a handicap to give everyone else a chance.
Good idea ! Then he could play for Chiefs
Only Billy from the English contingent,
Jeez, didn't realise he was aging quite that much. Even so, when you consider that Matt Kvesic (who I'd consider to be a relatively similar playing ability/style) is supposedly on ~400k at Worcester you'd imagine that someone would be willing to pick up Thompson for more than he's on at Ealing.

No idea, but maybe it's an insight into the money that Mike Gooley is spending. It's not like he's an unknown quantity in the GP and his agent would have touted him around.
