@Rapido Don't know. All I know is that some of the proceeds go to local/regional clubs and player development. Sometimes the games serve as fundraisers for charities. If I understand it correctly, Barbarians players don't get paid for playing for the team and only receive reimbursement of travel and accomodation costs and the likes.

Lambie at 10 won't be pretty for the Boks. England by 10+ I reckon.

@MiketheSnow Howley didn't just drop Roberts though did he Mike? More like he threw him under the bus. Public criticism of a senior player is a new(ish) one ins't it?

Howley hasn't worked out that Biggar is not compatible with a more expansive game plan.
G Davies, Biggar, Roberts works for one style of play
G Davies, S Davies and S Williams offers far more variety and more opportunity to play what's in front of you.

@MiketheSnow For sure Mike I can see the rationale for dropping Roberts, I just thought it was a bit of a shit thing to publicly criticise him when he dropped him.
On The Sam Davis thing, I'm not sure I could take too much away from his cameo but he sure as hell wasn't fazed by international rugby.

Itoje? Injured?

@booboo Yeah as @Sapetyvi said, he's out, as is Kruis, so we are down to the lock pairing that a year ago we thought would be the England boiler room for the next 6 years. Launchbury and Lawes with Atwood on the bench. We're lucky to have that depth, we saw what losing two locks like Whitelock and Retallick can mean. We've also lost a host of back rowers, although a good few of them were Eddie's surprise picks. Front liners were Haskell and Clifford. Both previous first choice wingers are gone too.
