[QUOTE="Jashay, post: 947328, member: 78812"] The extended training squads are usually 40+; Ireland have named 44, Wales 42. England named 45 last time. Care and Wigglesworth are apparently not in contention; that's placing a lot on the shoulders of Youngs, especially as he's just had surgery on one of those shoulders! Willi Heinz has been mentioned; seems odd to call up an uncapped 32-yr old, but I hear he's done well this year. Shame it took all this to get Robson and Spencer into serious consideration. I'm not too surprised Robshaw didn't make the cut; there's suddenly a lot of good options for the flankers. Good on Dombrandt, there, but it would be nice to see Ben Curry get a look in too. EDIT: Wait, isn't Robson injured as well? He had a serious blood clotting problem. [/QUOTE]
