25 Players in that squad ECT,

Dog? For backing himself and respecting the integrity of international sport?

I absolutely agree players should be able to play for 2nd tier nations if they wish but don't bag someone for not doing it ffs

He broke three vertebrae’s this season and wants to make sure he gets to full fitness. I’m not sure you can call him a dog for not going.

Didn't notice that. Probably some sort of cock up. It would be a shame if a bloke was named and shouldn't have been. Maybe back to two locals then. No progress after all, unless they get a run this time.

Just proves Italy doesnt mean much to him if hes gonna concentrate on club rugby. This is the world f**king cup, show some goddam desire.

 

[adamkungl]

He was pretty clear about wanting to represent England

He isn't Jarryd Hayne he hasn't been talking about his dream to play for Italy. He has been very clear England is his desire and that will only happen if he ups his club game.

Scotland naming their team soon?

Just because a player is eligible for a country doesn’t mean he wants to play for them.

“I pulled out of playing for Fiji and had my holidays all booked and ready to go,” Campbell-Gillard said.

“When I found out I was in the team (Aus), I virtually just cancelled every bloody holiday I’d booked.

Let's hope he never gets a chance to play for Fiji again...

 

[Evil Homer]

Scotland missing a ton of players. Coote, Wallace, Hood, Linnett, Wardle, Aitken, Walker all out.

[Rhino_NQ]

what was the story behind coote and linnet?

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Surely now all the people charmed by Scotland's 4N efforts can see they are long odds of winning a game this time (not that they did then either).

 

[Burns]

The Northern Hemisphere is in for a very rough tournament.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Italy is "its" second best side and Lebanon might be "its" third.

 

[Evil Homer]

The Northern Hemisphere is in for a very rough tournament.

Ireland and Italy are a good shot of winning their groups IMO. The rest will get flogged.

 

[morningstar]

Only two Scottish born in the final 24 in Scott & Russell. Disappointing they didn't pick the two lads playing park footy over in Aus, Clarke & Plumridge.

Not happy they have tier 2 swappers in the Bentley brothers either.

Most likely their international swan song anyway unless a miracle happens domestically next year.
