Yes, this is a squad with great depth. It will be interesting to see what team Mitchell selects for the Italy game on Sunday. If he chooses to leave out all the Gloucester and Saracens players he could still put out an incredibly strong and talented 23 and just be short of s couple of replacement props. This would both make selection straightforward and give lots of fringe players their opportunity. 1. Botterman, 2. Atkin Davies, 3 Bern, 4. Ward, 5. Talling, 6 Feaunati, 7. Kabeya, 8. Burton, 9. Packer, 10. Aitchison, 11.MacDonald, 12. Rowland, 13. Jones, 14. Dow, Kildunne, 15. Kildunne Replacements: 2 Props, Cokayne, Ives Campion, Fray, Robinson, Scarratt, Sheckells

John Mitchell spoke at the 6N launch event about how he wants to see "different combinations"- that has got to mean that he won't pick the same back-line 4 games in a row. Not least of which, what would happen were 1 of his 1st choice get injured? Yes, Breach, Killdunne and Dow might be the 1st choice back three, but let's see Venner and Sing playing. As for the centres... Heard and Jones appear, on form, to be the 1st choices, but Rowland offers something different at inside as does Scarratt at outside; hopefully again we'll see those combinations playing together for extended periods. At least in the forwards there's more room for substitutions and switching, but competition is going to be so tough- it could all come down to how people are playing in camp

Thanks very much for your response, Wendy. Your contributions to American rugby are invaluable. My doubts remain: wouldn’t it have been more sensible to launch WER when it was fully structured, fully populated? Is it wise to start it off at half-bore like this?

Wendy Young. 15 Jan 2025

"Ideally the WER should include every Eagle now attached to an overseas club; many seem loath to return home." The launch of the WER is certainly exciting, but it’s unrealistic to assume Eagles currently playing overseas would rush back for it right away. In leagues like the PWR, they’re competing at the highest level alongside English, Welsh, Scottish, French, and Canadian internationals, which offers unparalleled development opportunities. While the WER has immense potential and will likely become a prime destination for future Eagles, expecting that level of draw in its first year feels overly ambitious. Growth takes time, and so will building its reputation as a global hub for top talent.

The French coaching team seem hellbent on taking les Blues backwards. Gaelle Hermet and Morgane Bourgeois (examples of much needed experience and guidance, and proven youth) left at home. The only the top team not consistently choosing its best players to start each match. One wonders what such a policy does for player morale, especially youngsters thrown in at the deep end.

Thanks. All a bit confusing with names 14 and 15 letters long.

If you compare them with the match sheet from their match against Kenya, some of the Malagasy seem to be nicknames. For example, Nandrianina gotta be Marie Bodonandrianina, and Jinah Kely is Tiana Jinah Razanamahefa

Rob Gorthy. 06 Sep 2024

Yes, it is a mystery why no Annaëlle Deshaye or Gaëlle Hermet, and you might add, Morgane Bourgeois, instrumental in helping Bordeaux to two elite championships.

Alas for the reintroduction of Drouin! I'm curious Okemba is listed among the Forwards. I'm not sure if she has played for Stade Francais, but back in the day she was in the Backs for Saracens. Moving from 7s to the pack vs the likes of England, Canada and NZ feels a tough assignment. In looking up Okemba I discover she's also a knight (of the Order of Merit, along with others of the Tokyo 7s team) and that she recently released a music album (can be found on youtube).
