« Last post by TomBuckQuin on Today at 09:17 am »Dombrandt isn't the next cab off the rank in some ways, taking a non Quins view out of it many have thought he's had a chance and not taken his opportunity (Only quins fans seem to argue the points above as a defence for including him). If the change in approach with SB etc is deemed to benefit Alex then he should be in the England 6n squad rather than the A team also, as I'm not sure what's gained from playing him with players he in theory won't be really lining up with, or have the same Borthwick mentality applied.
I suppose I was defining "next cab off the rank" as any player who is waiting in the wings for an injury or suspension to grant them an opportunity to step up into the main England squad. Clearly this A team is a bunch of players Borthwick would look to bring in if and when required - or if their form demands that they break into the main squad. In that sense, we can assume that Dombrandt has not been exiled entirely as a result of his previous international form and is still on the periphery of Borthwick's plans.
