England EPS 2017/18 edition.

[Which Tyler]

Wales have tried to get Clark for the last two summers. They may get him at some point, but it's hardly news.

All this talk about 10's and the best one is playing in super rugby...

He'd still do a job for any team in the Prem.. playing 10 or lock haha

Ssssh. Don't give Eddie ideas. We know how loves a lock and lurks on here seeking our wisdom.

If he did that then he would stop letting Mallinder near a training ground

Eddie if your reading this... I am prop who used to run fantastic ambling across-the-field running lines and would then promptly lose the ball.. therefore i'm more than capable of doing a better job than whoever coached England's attack in the 6 Nations.

On our previous topic of Matthews... I'd rather have Geoff than Matthews haha

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Trinder and Yarde have been called into the squad to face the Barbarians in place of Loader and Redpath.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Redpath was never gonna play tbh, it clashes with his A levels
Presume loader is the same?

Loader picked up an ankle injury vs the South Africa U20s so is staying with the England U20s for treatment. Plus he's 19 so A Levels wouldn't have played a part. Redpath apparently also has a knock so isn't training this week.

It is mad that there are players in the England squad who are also doing A Levels though.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aye apparently Redpath injured his knee

Wtf is Eddie doing to these guys

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Ah, but we judge Mallinder as a back. All Eddie sees is 6' 5", and assumes he's a lock making a bloody good fist of 10, 12 and 15.

Just re: Shields and the supposed difficulty in comparing him with English, England based players...

[TRF_Olyy]

Worse than Haskell on defence?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Saw this on twitter
https://www.worldrugby.org/u20/teams/2756

England U20 squad on the JRWC website either it is very wrong or something odd is going on.
1. Sevillie, Trinder
2. Walker, Oghre, Cutting
3. Street, Heyes, Painter,
4. Isiewke!!!!, Scott
5. Lamb, Basham,
6. Earl
7. Curry, Curry
8. Willis,
9. White, Brand
10. Smith!!!!!, Grayson,
11. Ibiotye,
12. Redpath, Hardwick,
13. Dingwall,
14. Loader, Olowofela
15. Parton, Crossdale

That would be a flipping amazing U20's team.

1. Trinder, 2. Walker, 3. Street
4. Isiewke, 5. Lamb
6. Curry, 7. Curry, 8. Earl
9. White, 10. Smith
12. Repath, 13. Dingwall
11. Ibitoye, 14. Loader, 15. Parton

16. Cutting, 17. Sevillie, 18. Painter
19. Scott, 20. Willis
21. Brand, 22. Hardwick, 23. Olowofela.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Kinda want it to be right cause that team will ******* cruise the tournament,

Kinda hope it's wrong cause some of those lads deserve a shot at a senior cap.
Isiekwe still being u20s is ludicrous

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Looking at around 120 prem caps in that lot.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

The NZ team of last year looked very good, recon this lot could have taken them on?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

IMO yes.

I suspect it's incorrect anyway.
