This behemoth Just named in the Japanese u19 squad - was thinking 'good luck lifting him in the lineouts' - then realised 'PR' likely means he is a Prop, so he should be able to throw your average Lock up a long way!

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.

@Daffy-Jaffy That's a really strong squad.

Ford is a big absence

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.

Steve Borthwick puts faith in Tom Curry in much-changed England tour squad
Steve Borthwick’s much-changed England squad to tour Japan and New Zealand provides a genuine sense of opportunity for numerous individuals

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?
France have taken drastic measures to save money on their tour to South America, where they will face Argentina and Uruguay.

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.
