Harry Randall withdrawn from England squad
By Ian Cameron
Bristol Bears scrumhalf Harry Randall has been withdrawn from the England squad after sustaining an ankle injury that appears to have ended his Six Nations early.
The uncapped halfback was missing from yesterday's training session in Twickenham and will now have to wait to earn his first England cap.
An England Rugby statement reads: "Harry Randall has withdrawn from the England squad for the Guinness Six Nations with an ankle injury.
"Alex Mitchell has been called-up to Eddie Jones’ 28-player squad. England are preparing for their next match, against Wales, at their training base – The Lensbury in Teddington.
Randall's withdrawal is a blow for England as they preparing for their next Guinness Six Nations at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff this Saturday. He will now return to Bristol Bears where he will be assessed by the club's medical staff.
England will then face France at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday 13 March before traveling to Dublin to play Ireland on Saturday 20 March.

Nah, that just needs some more variation. Chip kicks, grubber stabs, all those. Will Jordan showed a pretty good reason why the rush was bad for his link up with BB.
If you have an overlap on a rush defense, they naturally cover out and out and leave a huge gap near the ruck.
It also helps if both teams play the same rules. ARs set the offside line 1m past where the last mans feet were😅

It could be achieved by outsourcing all your IP and players to New Zealand, Japan, and America, with a big Super competition between those countries raking it in with all of Australia's best talent to help them at a club level. When there is enough of a following and players coming through internally, and from other international countries (starting out like Australia/without a pro scene), for these high profile clubs to compete without a heavy australian base, then RA could use all the money they'd saved over the decades to turn things around at home and fund 4 super sides of their own that would be good enough to compete.
That sounds like a great model to reset the game in Aus. Take a couple of decades to invest in youth and community networks before trying to become professional again. I just suggest most aussies would be a bit more optimistic they can make it work without the two decades without any pro club rugby bit.
