No, I don't. I mean picked. You're desparately trying to turn
this into an Earl vs Dombrandt thing, but you're the idiot who
said Earl was "a good example of a player largely ignored
despite incredible club form". Being picked on a regular basis
is not "largely ignored", and it's absolutely comical you're
trying to lump him in with Spencer, who WAS ignored by England
like many talented 9s over the past decade.
Earl became more than just a bench player for Saracens in the
2018/19 season. He nailed down the starting shirt for Saracens
and then Bristol in the 19/20 season, and was rewarded with four
international appearances off the bench. The next season, 9 more
appearances off the bench. Nothing the season after, which
wasn't particularly unfair given his propensity for muckups, but
he worked hard and was rewarded the next season with a return to
the squad and eventually the starting shirt making 12
appearances (6 starts). That is most definitely not "largely
ignored".
Dombrandt was ignored for the 3 seasons he was tearing it up,
but when he finally got his chance he went from promising cameos
to very variable displays in the starting shirt. It was a
ludicrous decision to drop him at the last second from the world
cup squad for Billy, and that backfired in extremely obvious
ways, but aside from the timing of that decision his fate was
largely in his own hands. 64 starts for Quins and 35 tries
before he got a sniff for England, though. Earl was fast-tracked
in comparison, despite being in competition with 2 Currys, Jack
Willis, and Sam Underhill.

The only people who thought Dombrandt was 'tearing it up' in the
Premiership can be found at the Stoop wearing a Quins shirt.
Dombrandt was given a golden ticket to make the position his own
for England and he simply wasn't good enough. He blew it. We'll
see tomorrow how he fronts up but I wouldn't put any money on
him any more than I suspect you wouldn't either. He's unreliable
and the type of player who goes missing when things become
difficult.
It's just a pity that players as good as Earl and Spencer
weren't given the same opportunity that Dombrandt was.

Yeah, never mind. Let's see how Dombrandt does tomorrow. Wanna
bet?

You really are not as important as you think you are. Given your
disappearing act when Farrell repeatedly embarrassed himself
over the past few months after you'd tried to play the big man
on here, only an absolute fool would make any kind of bet with
you.
Besides, I fully expect him to go well. He's been brilliant so
far this season. He's usually the guy who we can really rely on
when the chips are down as well - many times he's been fighting
a lone battle in the pack. Frankly some of your comments on him
betray the fact that not only are you painfully obsessed with
baiting Harlequins fans, but you do not actually watch a lot of
rugby either. It's all very, very strange.

Ah, typical Toga. Maybe if you read the sentences rather than
just the occasional word you could follow along.
Here, I'll explain it to you.The last time you were on this
board you were giving it large over Farrell and baiting Quins
fans about Marcus Smith. You suddenly disappeared as soon as
things went south, hilariously. Dished it out and then ran away
when you know there'd be plenty of return fire.
It's really weird how obsessed you are with Quins and Quins
fans. Please stop begging for our attention. You're in your late
middle age and you really need to develop more healthy
interests.

Think you are confusing his age with his IQ.
