England 6N 2016 - General Chit Chat

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Nah he's the guy that beat Napoleon Dynamite.

Actually he is the guy who adopted Paddington bear.

Not a big fan of Tom May but this was quite interesting and I can't say I disagree with much of it

You mean Billy twelvetrees.

I always thought 36 looked more like Tom Baker.

A very young Tom Baker I suppose but he's the spit of Napoleon Dynamite

 

[YoungScud]

Napoleon Dynamite was in The Man from U.N.C.L.E., right?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wonder how interesting the open training session will be.

 

[The Jones Boy]

So we're a week out from Scotland getting humbled by England at Murrayfield....

Unless you are Andy Nicol and are convinced that Scotland are going to secure yet another grand slam, just like they have the past few years and after their world cup victory.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Manu out for a couple weeks

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He has no luck.

He's also not in the EPS atm, so not technically relevant

But couldn't he have been brought back in as he was originally in the squad.

He IMO shouldn't have been in anyway, summer tour am should have been target for England.

Manu out for a couple weeks

Why's he out? Concussion protocols or recurrence of the injury he's just back from or...?

Hamstring injury couple of weeks which could mean anything.

Lawes sat out of training today, but should be good for next week according to Gustard

Does not this mean to most people that, realistically, he should be forgotten about completely until at least the summer tour and only then considered if he has a real number of matches in succession under his belt?

Yep and I'm sure Leicester would have wanted him to have a break over the next week of 2 in any event.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

So that makes 12 only between Farrell and Devoto then. I hope Devoto performs better for England than he does for Bath. Not saying he is bad for us but nothing that suggests he should have an England space, apart from all the other options being poor for England too. I feel he will do well at Exeter though.

How long has it been since Tuilagi was properly part of the England setup? 3 years now?

I don't want him near an England shirt this year. I want him to have a whole pre season off otherwise I fear he won't be over his injury.

5 matches all at 12, even off the bench, would arguably be the closest thing he's ever had to a run in one position
