No AJ Lam is a travesty. Especially when you look at the other midfield selections.

Dave.

lol.

lmao, even.

Bit bloody conservative for a development team. I don't see Havili, MacLeod as being development players, so guess they worrid about results, and mixing in experience etc. So guess it more a straight 'B' team. Certainly no bolters that Robertson talked of yesterday.

Refs have been appointed:

"Italian Andrea Piardi will referee the Test against England at Twickenham on 15 November.

Good to see him being rewarded for his sterling work this year

In no way shape or form is this building or developing towards any sort of a future.

An utterly, utterly obvious and brazen jobs-for-da-boyz backroom deal.

Mack Hansen, Joe McCarthy & Hugo Keenan definitely out; Bundee Aki, Robbie Henshaw & Caelen Doris in doubt for Chicago.

Oh no, poor Ireland are going to have to choose some actual Irish people to play for them.

What a pickle.

Lots of people (but not players or staff) talking up the Scouts which is a bit like the "Wales will beat you, boyo" AB used to get back in the day (again, not from the Welsh players or staff). Most likely outcomes are (a) AB turn it on a la Oirland RWC QF & (b) Ringinland lay low & ambush us a la Soldier Field 2016.

@waiopehu oldboy ,I think the Scots are being talked up a bit on back of their backline, especially if Finn Russell goes as he can. But like you I bit worried about England, they will have a couple of tests under belt by then, and so will maybe humming a bit?
