England Saxons vs Ireland A

[Off the Top]

If they want Wallace to have some game time at 10 - maybe ROG won't make the match 22 against Italy

That will make ROG concentrate in training!

Wallace/D'Arcy at centre and how the emergency use of Wallace at 10 enables a different selection of replacements including potentially another forward.

Maybe as we don't have a prop who can cover both sides of the scrum to any great degree - DK is thinking of having two props on the bench against Italy.

We dont have ANY THPs at all.

Is there not a requirement for 2 bench props this year ? or was that HEC only ??

not to jank your chain, but click here...

It's a 23 man squad for the 6N
We need 3 flyhalfs for the RWC...Paddy is number 3 and DK wants to see if he can do a job or not.

Snipe does not seem to be around Rooster. You can take his input

It's a 23 man squad for the 6N

OR you can take mine
It's a 22 man squad for ALL International matches.

[Snipe Watson]

Thought the IRB had amended rule 3...possibly not.

[cables]

Law 3 was amended.

The manner in which it was amended was as an 'enabling' variation, applicable only "below international level".

3.14 UNION SPECIFIC VARIATIONS
(a) A Union having jurisdiction (or where a match or competition is played between teams
from two or more Unions those Unions by agreement between them) may implement
variations to Law 3 .4 for matches below international level as set out in 3(b) and/or 3 (c)
below .

i could be wrong, but the definitive voice of reason may have just put this thread on its Brennan for a while...
might need a team announcement to get things going again
