    I know there are some injuries, people playing in France etc.. is this basically full strength? Any of the new players worth keeping an eye on?

    Yep this is full strength, no one is being rested. Forwards pretty settled, some good loosies and better locks than we currently have available. Backs a bit more newbies about, newish tens and finally ditching the old nines

    Crucially they will have a warm up against Japan, whereas we will have a grand total of two weeks to embed an entire new set up. Bizarre choice by Razor, as normally they have camps and the team is name after the quarters getting the losers time to get the ball rolling for the other teams members coming in.

    @Duluth George Martin and Alex Mitchell are developing into excellent players. Sam Underhill is back in form. Cunningham-South is a big unit. Feyi-Waboso is fast.

    Of the new caps, Ollie Sleightholme is worth keeping an eye on.

    The same Cunningham-South that learned all his rugby in NZ?

    I’m a bit concerned about the front row, particularly thp. Little depth after Old King Cole. Apart from that though we have the makings of a good side. Let’s see if that good side gets on the park.

    Aside from the amusement of the forwards getting the good seats, and backs into economy. How the fuck do you make a fifteen million euro loss in a rwc hosting year?

    What a disaster for France on their tour of Argentina! First their fullback posts a selfie video saying I’ll smack the next Arab I see then 2 players arrested for sexual assault.

    Especially after they proved their amazing rugby depth, with it basically being the France XV rather than the full team

    I thought it had been posted by others? Either way, bizarre thing to say while touring Argentina I would've thought.

    Possibly a reaction to events at home

    Future Six Nations may not involve Friday or Sunday games, only Super Saturdays.
