I'd like to see Seb get a go in the A side though the number of young centres sticking their hands up currently is a breath of fresh air for England.

Re: New and Improved EPS Watch/Player Form Thread
Sorry to beat you to it twitchy
but this twatter post is worth it for the comments. One poster stating that Dingwall is stationed at 12 a lot even if wearing 13 but then says it’s in d when, in reality, it’s mostly in attack!- so close yet so far. One bloke opines that Furbank should play 12, lol, and then someone counters that it’s a ridiculous idea as he’s never played there - little does he know that Biggles played 12 at school so is more than qualified to play there at the lower level that is Borthwick’s England.
Ol’ Charlie nails it when stating that Furbank needs to be in the 23.

The irony being Sweaty Ballsack ignored the players playing 12 and then moaned about players not playing 12.

If you change the link text from "x dot com" to "twitter dot com" then the board will do it for you. The antique software running this place doesn't recognise twitter's stupid rebrand, one point where I utterly agree with it.

If we're talking personal preference - I prefer a copy/paste of the text at least - even twatter.com links don't embed on my devices (but does on the laptop); so I just see a link, and have to decide that I usually don't care enough to click the link now I've given up my account.

It's not the forum, it's Elon's fucking stupid 14 year old hurr durr x is a cool letter rebrand. If he was anywhere near as smart as he thinks he is, then embeds would have carried over with the URL. You have to swap x for twitter in a *lot* of places.Puja wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2024 8:58 amIf you change the link text from "x dot com" to "twitter dot com" then the board will do it for you.

Re questions of Feyi-Wabosom EQ and apols if already cleared up… The Times are reporting that he has ‘a paternal grandmother born in Gloucester’.

A grandmother born a 20 minute drive outside Wales then. F’in he’ll that’s tenuous isn’t it?

Were his great grandparents even living in England or just on a day trip and caught on the hop.

Re: New and Improved EPS Watch/Player Form Thread
While it can't be used for eligibility reasons because there was a gap, he did live here from 2016-2020 and from 2022 onwards, so he has lived in the country for 6 of his 21 years of life. Odd - the grandparent actually makes him available, but the "lived here for almost a third of his life" feels more like a sensible reason for him to have a connection to us, despite it meaning nothing to his qualification.

Really something to be announcing retirement 2 years after your last match, isn't it?
