Bradbury was not charged, remember that...?
Yes and the Bradbury suspension was a number of things; he injured himself, had recently been appointed captain and a new coach was looking to establish a new culture within the club.
From reports the players were interviewed as witnesses rather than suspects and have been banned for boozing.
Reading the French press, it appears that Brunel didn't want his players to be seen out on the town celebrating a defeat, hence them being dropped.

Some of the best drinking i ever did was when we got beaten, beer tastes better when you win but self loathing definetly makes yagger bombs go down better

So I'm guessing from the weekend team selections we can assume that Fagerson and Dunbar will not be back for England. Du Preez is nowhere near the 23.

Dunbar still listed as injured
Possibly WP Nel is back

He's not in the Edinburgh 23. They aren't going to chuck him straight into international rugby.

I heard it on some pod, i doubted it but out of WP and Welsh one of them could play 20 mins and do something in the loose and the other one cant
Berghan cant play 80 mins against England

He also scrummages on his knees and Owens may decide to penalize that as lavey didnt bother last week

I was expecting him to do it a bit v France and saw him do it once at the start, but he didn’t get pinged for it. Can’t remember when else he did it, but stand to be corrected.
Anyway, Fagerson and Nel back in training...

Yes. Seems to have taken the brunt of the coaching staff ire for Fiji.
Toony and Macfarlane know him well so definitely know what he can and can't do.

Confirmation that Toony did indeed reach out to Graham.
Can't stand a turncoat. I truly hope he does get his debut and we smash them so he can look back on his 1-2 caps with fond memories...
Hope it's worth betraying your heritage for, Gary

Nice bit of bulk added there. Wonder what Toony has up his sleeve.

I was in hysterics that he and his poor old Dad don't even realise he's just a 1 cap pawn in Eddie's game to wind us up. Must be a bit dim as well. He has no England future.

He hasn't even made the 29 man squad for next Saturday. Looks like he'll have to wait to shove it in our faces.

Looks like he is more angry with the SRU than the scottish fans.
Anyway, if he feels English, fair game to him, he grew up there after all. I don't believe we specially need him.

Steady on Greg.
Speaking of sounding bitter. Have a word with yourself.

What parts do you disagree with?
As an aside... anyone know if Doddie will do the match ball in the Calcutta? I truly hope so. Not sure what the precedent is for having it done by the same person in quick succession?
