Didn't realise he wasn't in the Tonga squad - a victim of the nation swapping rules
Think we should be relatively settled early season - we spent so long last season without Ford and are well accustomed to life without Manu. DdP is in preseason atm, not sure how fit he is atm but that's a positive sign for October
Not sure Hill makes the final England squad, and I don't think JLdP makes the final Bok RWC squad but if they do:
McIntyre, Taylor, Schonert
Ellis, Beaumont
Dugdale, B.Curry, Birch
Warr, RdP
Reed, Bedlow, James, Roebuck
Carpenter
Caine, Rodd, Harper, Groves, Woodman, Quirke, Curtis, Veainu/O'Flaherty
and the possibility of any of JLdP, DdP, Ernst van Rhyn, Hill and LCD being available which would all be a big as 2nd/backrow/hooker looks a little light
