He didn't trip over his laces running onto the pitch, tbf to him

A bit of a problem v NZ in second row.
Ewels obviously will cop a decent ban .
Maro only a few mins of playing time left.
Guess management on phone for a call up.
Martin and Coles only ones left unless CCS or Dombrant going to play 2nd row.

I can guarantee that isn't going to factor into selection at all.

After the preliminary squads I'd guess (and hope) that Rusi's getting a call up.

Think we'll see:
4. Itoje
5. Martin
19. Coles
for the remaining tests. Which is a very a strong set of locks IMO.

Underhill only getting 7 is more scandalous.

Maro only has 40 odd minutes of playing time before he hits 2400 mins and has to be stood down.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Has to or "has" to?

I'd be very surprised if he doesn't start both ABs tests

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

If the England management had any intention of adhering to the 2400 minute rule then there's no way they'd have played Itoje against Japan.

Define "has to be stood down" - it's not the impressions we've been given at any point.

There's negotiation between RFU and PRL about players who exceed; circumstances around, extra rest after going over, that sort of thing.

Agreed, all would have been thrashed out and agreed before leaving England.

Just thought it was a set in stone protocol as ,the rest periods.

I think Martin and Cole's actually compliment each other really well. Cole's is in brilliant form as well.

With him offering 80mins today I'd be almost as surprised if he didn't start and finish both tests.

I'd have thought at most he'd have gone off at half time this game, it's stupid to use minutes he doesn't have on a team that are already beat.

Realisticly he should have been on the bench this game at most, surely would have made more of an impact than Ewels haha.

 

[West Country Wail]

They are blatantly going to ignore this Maro minutes factor

Jamie George: England players split with RPA for independence

England hooker Jamie George insists that the internationals team’s split from the Rugby Players Association (RPA) was about independence.

Forgot about the reports about this happening - do the RPA even have any say in what England players do anymore?

That factor would have been negotiated out before they left England.
