       Well, it's saying that it's not a reason to drop him from the
       squad.

       I’ve watched Cadan run rings round a lot of the current England
       squad in the league, if SB still thinks he is not good enough
       then does SB think other countries defences are better than
       Englands

       That's not the same thing, though. All top tier international
       defences should be better than any Premiership team's.

       Yeh I get that, Cadan is premiership top try scorer yet other
       players chosen in the squad seem to have grandad rights for
       their place in the squad, it doesn’t feel right that a player
       who has beaten the best players in the premiership not to get a
       chance to see what he can do against the best in the world. Who
       in the squad is better than him at the moment ? Malians I agree
       with, but Daly - is a has been but has experience, May -is a has
       been but has experience. Arundel - could be extraordinary, but
       there should be room for Murley. To me it looks like SB is still
       on the phone to Eddie.

       Cadan has done everything asked of him, and he can only show
       what he can do in the games he's given. OHC was given the 6
       nations and did absolutely nothing, Cadan at the very least
       deserved to start in the warm up games. Being out at the expense
       of May/Big Joe C is just madness.
       It's not even rose tinted glasses either, the bulk of comments
       from rugby fans in general seem to support this.

       So what? How many rugby fans attended the training sessions. I'm
       surprised he hasn't had a chance but this isn't the first time
       he's not been given a chance. There will be a reason.
       If all the players whom punters think 'deserve a chance' were
       picked we'd be putting a different team out each match.

       I think that some players look great when playing with their own
       team mates for their club, but their club form doesn't translate
       when they need to play with 14 different players.
       Rugby is a team game - to get selected for the national team,
       they need to demonstrate that they are as good with unfamiliar
       players as they are with their own team mates.
       Maybe this is where Cadan lets himself down.

       Absolutely! But who knows what the issue is with Murley? He's
       certainly not the only player that coaches have been reluctant
       to pick. Sometimes players miss selection under successive
       coaches which suggests there may be some flaw that isn't obvious
       at club level.
       I wonder to what extent Murley has suffered due to the short
       time Borthwick has had to assemble his squad. If he'd had an
       autumn series or a summer tour maybe things would be different.

       The most likely answer around Murley is around kicking and kick
       chase: he's not the tallest winger, and he doesn't really kick
       for Quins. At international level, kicking is a bigger part of
       the game and the players who've been retained all have a better
       kicking game than he has.

       Or alternately if we played them all at the same time we might
       actually look like winning a game or two.
