Horwill added to the BaaBaas squad

For the Quilter cup next week: Link.

It'd be great if he can get a run out to end his career in the black & white hoops. Plus, good for us to have two players in the squad!

That is a cracking Baa Baas squad.  I really enjoy these games.  Shame the Saxons do not play more

I mean, this essentially is the Saxons, isn't it? I didn't think the Saxons were an official thing any more?

Still think Marchant is a potential wildcard for RWC and this is a final look at him. Here's hoping for his sake - he deserves it.

Ah, gotcha. I agree from a fan's perspective - although with the rugby calendar as congested as it is you can see why regular international A team games were first to go. That and the fact that I'm sure it didn't bring in enough viewers for Sky et al to keep supporting it.

Not a great England squad imo. I know it's a Saxons squad but even so

sorry but Eddie is not involved in this at all meaningless for World Cup in my opinion it is just who is fit and available and wants to play

You say that, but the likely first XV (give or take a few picks) is quite exciting given that this squad is essentially a squad full of players not expected to go to RWC - with maybe 1 or 2 RWC bolters/wildcards...

1 Harrison
2 Taylor
3 Hill
4 Spencer
5 Stooke
6 Harrison (c?)
7 Curry
8 Dombrandt

9 Mitchell
10 Sheedy
11 Bassett
12 Williams
13 Marchant
14 Loader
15 Hammersley

Which, if I'm right, makes the bench...

16 Dunn
17 Obano
18 Painter
19 Beaumont
20 Ellis
21 White
22 Smith
23 O'Connor

Perfect lineup for a Baa Baas game - loads of tries in that lot.

On a specific point - Saxons no longer exist and haven’t since 2016.

U20 is now the capture squad.

According to Mail theme for BaaBaas party this week is Victorian 1890s Joe says he takes fancy dress very seriously and is looking forward to it. Also says if England has an injury crisis in Japan and 3 props are injured he will go.

I wouldn't put it past Eddie to up the intensity of the looseheads' training...

Really? I hadn't heard that. Do you have a link? Mind you, I can understand that somewhat as they were struggling to find opposition to play...
