England EPS 2016/17 season.

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Just a point on Manu he is looking very lean prob the slimmest he has looked since 2012/13 nearly.

Cockers I think was saying he has dropped 10kg and it looks like it is the truth.

Fingers crossed he gets some form between now and 6N's hoping that weight drop will help him with his speed and injuries.

I still live in hope of a fit, rampaging Tuilagi back in an England shirt ...

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Agreed, but isn't it great that we've got 2 excellent alternatives now. Assuming you are talking about him playing at 13?

Interesting to see Corbisiero is coaching with the u20s

Good to hear. I don't think he'll return to play if his last interview is anything to go by. Coaching and commentating for US TV look like his future career.

As well as Louis Deacon.

So basically Hartley's going to get some kind of ban now and it could hurt his England chances.

Good. It's about time George took over as first-choice.

I haven't seen the incident, is it old school Dylan or an of the moment thing?

Dismissed for a swinging arm according to the Beeb report. I don't think I'm going to get me hopes up on him missing England game time just yet.

SOB is on his way down; and it might have been legal had he not been (would have just been a swinging arm to the torso - technically naughty, but usually let go).
However, doing something illegal that would have been legal if things were different has never really been an excuse - I'd also suggest from that clip that Dylan knew SOB was on his way down before committing.
Probably a mid-range ban (6 weeks), increased for being the offence du jour; and increased again for his record (I'd double it personally). So 7-14 weeks depending on the increase for his poor record - probably 7 weeks then, which would conveniently release him in time for the 6N.

Missed the rumours before they were squashed. Kids these days.

Anyone actually see the articles he's on about floating around?
I've not, and I follow a couple of rugby pages on there.

Stinks of advertising his channel, to me - that video's gonna be shared everywhere.
He's just started vlogging so probably wants more people aware of his channel than just the fitness crowd he's got atm.

On a side note he originally called his vlogs Life of James until everyone called him a **** from ripping off Mujati's vlogs and he changed it to diary of a rugby player :lol:

Yep all seems like attention seeking.

Can't see his vlogs being anywhere near Mujati's quality though.

 

[j'nuh]

Aren't we all a bunch of cynics.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I'm surprised he's allowed around a camera,to be fair.
Gotta start really worrying if doran jones turns up one day...

 

[Which Tyler]

I'm just a little surprised that there's an England rugby player, talking to camera - and it's not Tom Wood!
