43 + another 3 or 4 from today’s game. Just outrageous.padprop wrote:I’d say that for most players, but to have 43 turnovers when the next best player is 19... I’d love to see if that translates to the international game straight away, instead of being pissed around by Eddie, getting an injury in a training camp and being forgotten about
In ‘spreading the load’ you also have to give players the right opportunity ie having a decent core of experience and capability around them. I hope that’s the case.fivepointer wrote:England have 6 games in 7 weeks. Willis, or anyone else, doesnt have to play in every game. This is a perfect opportunity to spread the load and look at a number of new players.
You could easily rotate on a game by game basis.
We dont have to make any long term decisions now.
Just get him in, give him a chance and lets see where we are at the end of the autumn.
He's always been a decent carrier... it's improved, I think he's added a bit of offloading, but he's always had that determination to make ground.Peej wrote:His carrying since the restart has been next level. Not something he really did in his breakthrough season, but now it is another strength, rather than something people asked questions of
They've cancelled training for the week so that should help mitigate exposure in the group. Hopefully for them it's an isolated outbreak and doesn't hit their chances too much. We want a competitive final after all.Puja wrote:I think the level of the Oh Dear depends on which players and how contained it is. If they found out yesterday, then they may not have had any significant group training sessions since the weekend and it could be that those 4 are all that there'll be.

They also don't have to have anyone isolating, suggesting it's at least not front row.jimKRFC wrote:Bristol have said their tests all came back clear. Fingers were ok to play Friday.
I'm sure it won't all end in Tiers.morepork wrote:You boys have yourselves a nice wee outbreak there. Kind of predictable.....no?
Or indeed Wasps if they are given the all clear bearing in mind they haven't trained in a week...jimKRFC wrote:4 more cases at Wasps - https://www.wasps.co.uk/news/update-fro ... 9-testing/
More tests tomorrow and decision to play made depending on the results. Not ideal for Exeter for preparaion or Bris if they have to step up.

Depends who the positive cases are. Rumour has it that the first four were academy players sharing a house and the entire squad has been in isolation since then. If that's the case and the four new cases this week are the only people it's spread to, I don't see why the rest of squad couldn't play if they continue to test negative.morepork wrote:Peej wrote:Or indeed Wasps if they are given the all clear bearing in mind they haven't trained in a week...jimKRFC wrote:4 more cases at Wasps - https://www.wasps.co.uk/news/update-fro ... 9-testing/

How could you conscionably give them the all clear when they have had multiple positive cases within the last week? Madness.
It's about the same quality of information that out world beating track and trace system uses.morepork wrote:Ahhh. Rumour. Excellent.
