Re: Team for Tonga
I just think it’s a terrible message to send out, and it’s been the same for this whole pandemic.
One rule for the rich and famous, another for you and I.
If he’s had a positive test, he needs to quarantine, and so does Slade. And anyone else who is unvaccinated. If they don’t, it just sends out another mixed message to people that is frankly disgusting.
I’ve had enough of it

Don't apologise to me. I just think it's another example of why Jones is the wrong man for the job.p/d wrote:Apologies for outburst….. it just really stinks of self importance.

Re: Team for Tonga
Wasn’t there something recently where Lawes talked about how he likes being in the leadership group but doesn’t really see himself as a captain?
Surely this is a time to give Mario a go?

Re: Team for Tonga
I know this is just Tonga and Eddie probably wants Smith to “Earn his stripes” off the bench, but we’ve still decided to choose the third choice northampton 10 over the on-from 10 in europe.

Re: Team for Tonga
It does seem odd unless Smith has blotted his copybook in camp. If he is fit enough to be in the 23 he should start.padprop wrote:I know this is just Tonga and Eddie probably wants Smith to “Earn his stripes” off the bench, but we’ve still decided to choose the third choice northampton 10 over the on-from 10 in europe.

Re: Team for Tonga
If he hasn't had a chance to train, he won't have suddenly had more time to train just because Farrell is sick.
Testing out your emergency backup 10, who should have been running through at 10 already, doesn't seem too daft.

Re: Team for Tonga
How much time would Furbank have spent doing FH routines? Could Smith not catch up quickly? He may not have been physically participating but I presume he would have been around to watch/listen.Raggs wrote:If he hasn't had a chance to train, he won't have suddenly had more time to train just because Farrell is sick.

Furbank early injury, then Slade to 10, Manu shifts out and big A comes on at 12

The whole effing team should be quarantining. Now they can pass it on to Tonga who take it home where they have had their first ever case last week.

I suppose if you're thinking about a world cup squad, Tonga is the sort of team your third choice fly half might end up playing against any way.Raggs wrote:If he hasn't had a chance to train, he won't have suddenly had more time to train just because Farrell is sick.
