[QUOTE="stus768, post: 470721, member: 40475"] Still don't see any point in playing him if he is part of the EPS, send him back to his club if he needs game time. He has been an England member enough not to really need to hang around. the quality of opposition the saxons play isn't great so don't see Borthwick being the deciding factor in whether they beat a team like Canada. Also if he plays then u are keeping out another, younger player who will be sitting on the bench, not getting match experience. There may also be less likelihood of other leaders coming forward if a borthwick is there taking over. Only time I would play them is if they are coming back from injury. Also does anyone know who the saxons will play now that the Churchill cup is ended? I know they go on tour occasionally and with proper tours to the southern hemisphere squads will be larger.
