@Higgins Is Tuitavuki not injured? I assumed he must be considering Sapsford's appearances on the wing.

Also, do you know what the words and initials mean? I assume area from Tonga they're from?

[Higgins]

@Nepia The initials relate to the island the boys' village/s is/are in. TT stands for the main island of Tongatapu, Eu for Eua, VV for Vava'U, HP for Ha'apai but not sure what NTT represents but suspect that it refers to Niautoputapu. Maybe @NZZP might be able to provide a bit more clarity here?

Yeah, but maybe he's glad to be out. The coaches have all gone off to do something else, all 485 of them, doesn't mean Eddie is not a great push factor

RFU and WRU must have done the lottery last night

[Dan54]

@MiketheSnow Certainly WRU, who are struggling with finances a bit aren't they? Not sure about RFU who I always thought had a few $s, but that just guesswork.
Be interested to see if Gatland packing up any gear in preparation for move back that way.
