Seen a lot of these teams, none of which give a thought to Alex Dunbar. One of Scotland’s best players, touted as a future lion, ruptured his ACL before they played England in the Six Nations and hasn’t recovered in time.

Last I heard from Leicester he had returned to light training but wouldn’t be match fit til October? (So no)

Not that I want to infer any cynicism in SL’s decision to drop Manu from the wc, but is Manu even available for selection or is he still injured?

Beat me too it Jacob! Undoubtedly in the wrong, but no need to exaggerate. What is it with England stories, dwarf tossing never happened yet still repeated ad nauseum, how long before this incident becomes a full on rampage!

This team looks pretty good but I am not keen on either of your prop selections as both have been far from their best for over a year now

heres a selection of other props which could potentially fill the hole:
G.Cross (SCO)
S.Kishoff (SAF)
V.Koch (SAF)
J.Johnston (SAM) (injured)
J.Moody (NZL)
M.Diaz (ARG) (injured)
M.Moore (IRE)
T.Domingo (FRA)

Don’t think Tuilagi punched anyone did he? My understand is that he pushed away a police offers as they attempted to arrest for being drunk and disorderly? Still classed as assaulting a police offer of course so minor detail in the grand scheme of things.

Hell of a team. If they were to collect together now to make a team, reckon they’d have a pretty good chance of getting out of most groups!
