@mikethesnow I see that James Botham isn't in the squad. Is he injured or has he been dropped?

Not sure
Injured my guess
Not playing for Cardiff

The interesting one in the squad is Christ Tshiunza who I think has played four games for Exeter. I know he is highly rated by Baxter and co but...

Giving him a sense of the step up
Don’t expect him to play
They’ve done it with a number of players

Yeah smacks of desperation calling someone up after 4 or 5 games at that level....

Yeah Eddie has done the same but then forgets about them for 5 years and once he is forced to play them they get called up for the Lions

Hallam Amos to retire. Sounds like he’s been given an ultimatum by Pivac?

Possibly
Or knows his own mind
Hasn’t been playing well so quite possibly distracted/conflicted

If that comes to pass, it’ll be the Second Coming of Christ
