Under normal circumstances he would have been rightly dropped from the EPS for the 6 Nations and given a strong message about future off field behavior. However the RFU/England management clearly want to show players and the public what will happen is players get involved in serious off-pitch incidents. Therefore not only was Care dropped but he is now having to battle his way back into the starting XV despite being the form English scum half both domestically and internationally.There is of course also the issue that he had to play a full 80mins yesterday, perhaps if that hadn't happened Lancaster would have put him on the bench this weekend.</blockquote>
