Can't wait to see him hold tackle bags for the playing squad for 5 matches while Youngs and Heinz gain much needed experience.Daily Mail reckon Randall is in the squad

With 28players I can't see EJ having three scrumhalves (he only took two to a world cup!)Can't wait to see him hold tackle bags for the playing squad for 5 matches while Youngs and Heinz gain much needed experience.

Robson binned off?
Mail reporting all 3 are in. Watch us take
4 second rows, 5 back rowers, 7 front rowers, 3 SH, 2 fh, 5 back 3 and 2 centres I reckon.
Right, my final prediction -
Mako, Genge, Obano (unless Marler actually wants to go.
George, LCD
Sinks and Stuart (watch the rfu meddle with his ban)
Itoje, hill, launchbury, ewels
Curry, Underhill, Billy, earl, Willis
Youngs, Randall, Robson
Faz, Ford
Slade, Joseph,
Daly, May, Watson, Malins, Odogwu
Feel confident about that, which means I've missed something glaring!
Is odogwu acctually a thing? He's class there is no doubt but doesnt he have that classic problem you get from great attacking players? Weak in defence?.Mail reporting all 3 are in. Watch us take

As we're getting the hang of jackalling it can't be long before it gets banned on concussion grounds and real rucking - where the emphasis is on driving over the ball - gets brought back.Well seems the Jocks
If that's what he goes with, I'd be pretty happy. Personally I'd like to see how Willis goes at 8. Yeah I know I've whinged about playing players out of position but he seems he could do Vunipolas game and more. Plus the jackalling power of Curry, Underhill, Willis and Itoje all in the forwards at the same time is ridiculous, such a change from just 4 years ago.
I'd like to see JJ replaced at some point. I used to be a fan but just haven't seen him do much in games recently apart from the odd spark. Form fell off a while ago and doesn't seem to have returned. He's not bad and not someone we need to replace but he's just sort of "there" at the moment. Games go by and I wouldn't know if he played in them or not.
Aye, I imagine it was a compromise between RFU and PRL:Haven't followed it too closely but given the Sco and Wal squads I'm assuming 28 was our own choice and not imposed?
It makes logical sense if those 5 players are unlikely to see a game its better for them to be playing than having a 2 month rest then be in the tail end of the season.Aye, I imagine it was a compromise between RFU and PRL:
RFU saying they want to keep the entire team in a bubble at their training ground, and not release anyone back to their clubs, to minimise risk of infection - PRL says that's OK as long as you take the minimum number of players you can manage
Half 4What time is the announcement by the way?

Just imagine how bad that would be, haha - shades of when we shoehorned Ugo in there, and Cueto had to take over because he was so shocking.Cokanasiga at fullback
Maybe for Joseph or Malins? I'm not sure where he fits if Odogwu is inNo Lawrence? Pretty sure he'd be in there.
You're ruining my fantasy!Just imagine how bad that would be, haha - shades of when we shoehorned Ugo in there, and Cueto had to take over because he was so shocking.
Tuilagi will be gone to France or Japan at the end of the season, Sanderson has alluded to not offering him a new contract and I doubt anyone else in the Prem would be willing to pay as much as he wants, for as little as he plays.
I dunno, I wonder if Odogwu is just paper talk. Lawrence was starting at 13 in the ANC and was only dropped due to injury. If he's fit, I think Eddie sticks with him as his starting 13. He didn't set the world on fire, but he didn't do anything wrong and he has bags of potential. Eddie stuck with Slade in similar circumstances and he turned out alright.Maybe for Joseph or Malins? I'm not sure where he fits if Odogwu is in
