Dan Cole...Genuine question!

With Dan Cole starting for us on Saturday I just wondered how
many South Africans would have to die for him to START for the
Saffers......10/20/30? Just a genuine thought as I am STUNNED he
is the BEST we have!

TH is a real area of concern
Sinkler has been poor since he left us
Stuart went backwards after the Australia tour
Heyes - Not seen enough of him to sack him off completly but
unsure if he's going to be what we need
I think theres a lot of hopes being pinned on
Fasognbun/Opuku-Fordjour to be the next ones to come through.
So in short, there isn't really anyone massively better and we
are probably going to see Sinkler/Stuart/Heyes after the RWC,
probably for another 2 years or so whilst we see how the 19/20
year olds progress.

Be interesting to see where Asher ends up. We still have him
down as a 3 but he played 1 in the U20s world cup and partnered
with Fasogbon.

Shame Collier hasn't been able to maintain his fitness/place in
the squad as he is great defensively in the scrum as well as
attack. Plus the guaranteed tries!!!

I was wondering if Davison might have another shot now he's at a
team which should perform better. Hadn't realised he's 31
🤯.
Sent me down a rabbit hole of Ford-Robinson, Collier, Schonert.
They're all over 30.

Ford-Robinson is over 30? I didn't realise he'd been around that
long!

Jamal's only cap came in a Barbarians match in 2017, when
several other props were unavailable due to the premiership
Final the day before.
He was at Cambridge from 2012, then a season at Pirates in 2014,
and has been with Premiership sides since 2015.
I sort of feel if he was going to press on, he would have done
so by now.
Lovely chap though.

With the age of the props already featured by England in recent
squads, they will see things out as the others mentioned are the
same age. Sadly there's not many props in the 23-24 age range
really making a case so we will probably have another few years
of the same. Back row rise I quite fancy 6. Hill, 7 Earl 8
Mercer. Curry IMO needs to get back to form as so far has been
lucky to get the starts he has
