Chessum, Martin and Itoje suggest one is playing at 6.

It will be interesting to see if the plan for Mitchell's recovery is now changed as Borthwick now gets the final say

And where the tensions could become apparent.

3 fly halves, 1 scrum half and no tight heads. Bizarre.

Which tight heads are currently be in position to be offered one.
And I don't think there's a clear second choice scrum half yet so who would you give it to?

With no Willis in the squad I'm predicting CCS gets at least one start at 8 this international period
Wouldn't be surprised if Borthwick is eyeing up a Chessum/Earl/CCS first choice backrow for the 6N

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

In the press articles I've read the contract lengths are quoted as varying between 1 and 3 years and there's no mention of any intention to hand out more, instead just saying that SB's concentrating on his 'core' players.

Begs all kind of questions.

As for Dan, he's lucky but George is running out of steam and rightly or wrongly SB has clearly identified him as the successor. So the logic's fine if not the judgement.

I thought it was supposed to be 25 central contracts? If so, 8 more to give out as players make a claim.
