The argument that the RFU keeps on standing by is that we have to have our best players playing in the country.
Well
South Africa didn't say that, did they?
They sent their players all around the world along with their coaches, getting fantastic information, getting great experience, playing in all the best uh leagues in the world, uh, and brought all that information and experience back into the South African squad.
And that's Courtney Laws' argument, isn't it?
Jack Willis is now captain of Toulouse.
He's been ripping it up as the best forward in France for two seasons.
Why not use that experience and that talent in the England back row?
S his brother Tom has now gone to Bordeaux from Saracens because he made he was made a fantastic offer.
And yeah, he was immediately dumped by England, even though he was the best number eight in England by a country mile.
And yeah, it's not solving the problem, it's just highlighting that England
uh are not good enough to say we won't pick our best two back row forwards.
Remember, they're the worst ever six nations.
Uh they did beat uh Fiji and Argentina but got beaten by South Africa.
They're going to a World Cup with if you had the two Willis brothers in the back row and you added Pollock or any one of six or seven
lads who could play open side, you'd have a really, really good back row which would compete at the breakdown and would be fantastic at ball carrying.
Instead, they're gonna be mix and matching and playing uh sixes at eights, sevens at eights because their best players are not in the country and uh yeah.
For those of us who do not believe in the rule
It's really, really annoying every week to read about how brilliant the
The Willis brothers are playing uh in France, uh helping their players get better and better.
