England squad

England head coach Eddie Jones has recalled 25 players for a three-day training camp in central London beginning today.

Maro Itoje and Dylan Hartley also join up with the squad to continue their rehabilitation.

Exeter Chiefs’ Ben Moon and Leicester’s Ellis Genge provide cover at prop for the injured Mako Vunipola.

Ollie Devoto also comes into the squad having only played five minutes for England back in 2016, coming off the bench against Wales.

The biggest win over France since 1911 has cranked up expectation surrounding the showdown in Cardiff, as England look to continue their stunning start to World Cup year.

Wales now the only other Six Nations team with a 100 per cent record after posting wins against France and Italy.

Who is telling the truth about France's tour of New Zealand?

Unfortunately that is true. Unless the French lose their licence, not much can be done about it except to boycott them. No one go there and no one allow tours to their countries. I don't see that happening, so it will always be the same narrative every year.

Nick, you have to know that in statistics people can reach all sorts of conclusions as long as they ignore the base of analysis. Just change the base and voilà another interpretation or conclusion is reached.

Who is telling the truth about France's tour of New Zealand?

Exactly my point. Send the weakest team you can, or else just refuse to play against them in future. Freeze them out. If one country start doing that, others will follow. Most people are tired of this arrangement. Start by leaving them out of the 6N and take it from there. Even the French players would leave France if that happens. However, the weakest world organisation is World Rugby. Pathetic, bending to blackmail, screwing up old and new laws, screwing up the game of rugby trying to change it into League rugby where the weak men dwell. It's either that, or shut up, accept it as it is and move on. The end of this year is the WC seedings. This is the last season to make an impact on the rankings and thus improve your chances of being in the best possible rank to assist in the WC grouping stages to enhance the teams chances of being able to ensure an easier route to the quarters. NZ fans should be happy for the weaker team that's sent. 3 easy games, easy points on the rankings. Not so much for the Boks who will get nothing playing against Italy and Georgia, so NZ will creep closer to the Boks in the rankings. One slip up by the Boks and NZ is first.

The only way to “starve them out” is to set up more competitive club leagues then. But in the current ecosystem, I only see japanese league or maybe MLR in the long term future having the economical power to become a threat.

Who is telling the truth about France's tour of New Zealand?

That is exactly my point. There is many other leagues who would accommodate them. Part of the French clubs scene allure is that they attract the best of the best of other countries to play in France. Starve them of that, starve them out, and they will be forced to change to comply or they will have to go it alone. How many rugby players would end their careers early to earn massive salaries in France, which would eventually dwindle down due to no interest from the rest of the world of rugby if they aren't part of it? I can guarantee you that all those players currently playing in France, with that over their heads, would quickly seek employment with other clubs, even with salary demotions

I haven't heard a single one of them, they must have been whispering very quietly then!

More seriously what you are saying is really not pound for pound at all. If you want to do the same, then the AB should send a less experienced team to play the French in autumn.

Man, after posting such truncated stats, meaningless comparisons and concluding that it’s all lies from some French cabale… I would have kept “your conclusions are nonsense” for myself.

You obviously didn’t follow those players this season enough in order to tell Galthié who should have been on this plane (or not) regardless of what their actual employer may think about it.

What a waste of space and time.

They have reason to complain. Others complain too, just not as loudly. It's time people start treating the French the same way they treat them. Pound for pound.
