Unless he's decided to totally pull the plug on the whole M Smith at 15 thing or there's an injury that just wouldn't make sense.

I wish we had Will Carling out there now

 

[Which Tyler]

I suspect he's lost a yard of pace...

he looks like he's lost a lot more than a yard !!

Is the party line celebrating Marcus Smith's struggles then? Because that's what one paragraph comes across as what it is doing.

The party line is justifying Borthwick's decisions.

He swapped it for a yard of waist

Oh bless him

TBF, I've done much the same.

It sounds like he has not been impressed by Smith at 15.

Article has updated to say
'Centre Henry Slade and lock Ollie Chessum did not join team training on Tuesday, but are not believed to be fitness concerns.'

to Say Charles Richardson's pieces are s**t would be an understatement

Fly half playing at full back in not resembling Christian Cullen shock.

If they ain't training they ain't playing

If the rumours are true then it's pretty funny that we're in a position where there's actually a few 15s knocking about, finally

We'll have gone Steward (utilised poorly and dropped) to Smith (not a 15, and scapegoated because of that despite giving it a fair whack) to finally land on.....Daly

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

If they ain't training they ain't playing

Seeing how SB starts players after they've played little or no rugby I wouldn't discount them not training all week and then being picked.

Who none of us really liked there in the first place.

12. M Smith, 15. Slade. Numbers on shirts don't matter. You heard it here first.

Huge left boot though...

I think the Telegraph is suggesting Slade and Chessum have been dropped from the 23.
