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

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?

Hasn’t been playing well so quite possibly distracted/conflicted

Squads have mostly been announced for 6N 2022. The unvaxxed can't play in Italy or France, so you might see some swapping and changing within the 23, esp for England (Slade)
-
Bit of a hit for France!
Romain Ntamack, Antoine Dupont, François Cros, Gaëtan Barlot, Anthony Jelonch, Cyril Baille, and Bernard Le Roux have all been removed due to positive Covid-19 results.
Added to this, back row Cameron Woki and giant tighthead Uini Atonio have also been removed due to injury

Whereas England has improved with Farrell out and Ford back. Lawes is injured tho, he was stand in captain last time

@daffy-jaffy suprised they found 6 minutes of highlights in a 2 penalty kick game
However watching the Italians celebrate at the end was priceless..probably should have won by more -
Posting this here, because Japan is hosting. This is a great opportunity for Uruguay.

You have to laugh at the Scottish Broadcasting Corporation or BBC as it is more usually known.
Headline on the women’s international being played:- Scotland Strike Back against England. Actual score? 5-31 after 30 minutes.
