Possibly Zac Nearchou?

Isn't he with Benetton still?

[Peej]

It's the only loan I can think of. I suppose it could be Alo or Owlett to get them match fitness? But would you really send them out on loan for weeks and rely on a loan player yourself to make up a 23?

Edit - just seen Owlett is in the squad for Bristol tomorrow, so it won't be him

Owlett is already on the bench for Wasps this week. Can't put both Owlett and Alo on the bench, so I guess one goes on loan for a few weeks?

[Mellsblue]

Bedford have signed a Wasps tight head as injury cover for x number of weeks. Any ideas who it might be?

Didn't realise we had any to spare!

Maybe Alo coming back to fitness?

Fitness is surely the wrong word! Could definitely be as he’s been at the club before and is only needed for a couple of weeks. Could be the perfect solution for all parties.

Nah, he lost a lot of weight when he came to Wasps, put a lot of time in conditioning etc. I mean he's still enormous, but he can get around a bit more now (at least before injury).

[Peej]

A hand injury shouldn't have affected his cardio too much though

[Mikey Brown]

[Mellsblue]

Blah, blah, blah...... what’s his kick chase like?

[twitchy]

Rhyming names.

Can anyone ID the few extra players that seem to be training with england in The Next Level and general training footage that aren't in the EPS? I'd assume they're some under 20 players to make up the numbers and so that Eddie can have a closer look but there has been no announcement and I'd have assumed things would have been open and transparent due to COVID.

* After doing some digging one of them seems to be Max Ojomoh, no idea on the others though

[Banquo]

Eddie called him up before injury, didn't he?

[Digby]

he did indeed call up Alfie, just to prove he will not look at other players

[Mikey Brown]

What?

[Epaminondas Pules]

Yep was called into the Autumn Nations squad towards the end.

[twitchy]

Pay wall is down for 24 hrs.

[twitchy]

If we want a big ball carrier in the backs.

[Digby]

Hopefully he's an option again soon. Not that I've any idea what the 23 would look like if both he and Nowell became available.

Having not especially been a Nowell fan, or more specifically not a fan of Nowell as a wing at test level simply down to top end pace, given the way we're now playing Nowell would be even more valuable than he was previously

[Raggs]

Watching the next level video, really like how Genge is interacting with Martin.

Kindly, or in a way that might make someone call the police?

[Mellsblue]

Meant to post this yesterday but...... Leanne Riley has a better pass (and bottom) than Ben Youngs and Emily Scarratt is utter class.

[Digby]

Scarratt is just playing at the wrong level

[twitchy]

[TheNomad]

Hmmm. Not seen much of him frankly. I see he was born in Scotland?
