@crucial that's a non-story if ever I've read one. "coach tells senior players to remain competitive to keep getting selected"
You say it's a non story but I can think of plenty of players this hasn't applied to as they got on. Most notable of recent times being Kieran Read.

They've got that number one ranking back, time to sit on it in safety for another year 😜
'It will break the players': Boks could axe Northern tour
The Springboks could pull the pin on their end-of year-tour if another MIQ Is faced.

Disagree, being able to drink, play, and party your way around the world is totally different to being stuck in hotels with training and playing the only thing on the agenda

@mikethesnow I see that James Botham isn't in the squad. Is he injured or has he been dropped?

Not sure
Injured my guess
Not playing for Cardiff

The interesting one in the squad is Christ Tshiunza who I think has played four games for Exeter. I know he is highly rated by Baxter and co but...

Giving him a sense of the step up
Don’t expect him to play
They’ve done it with a number of players

Yeah smacks of desperation calling someone up after 4 or 5 games at that level.... 😜

Yeah Eddie has done the same but then forgets about them for 5 years and once he is forced to play them they get called up for the Lions 😀
