That's a good question, isn't it? letting Sam leave doesn't look like a good idea ATM, but then, you can't predict injuries.

They will have refund on Anscombe's costs as he was injured playing for Wales. I forgot about Hooky. In fact Hooky is the type of player we could do with come to think of it over the first few months.

Well, not 'rubbish', but a SH journeyman... this goes to show how 'English' he feels... it'a always a bit tricky if guys from the SH move to the NH to look for a better contract - if they are good enough to get picked up by a national squad after qualifying, are they seriously committed, or just looking for a pay check? I have to respect guys like Ben Morgan, who probably could have had a hatful of Wales caps if he'd stayed with the Scarlets, but was - and felt - English and so refused to go down that route. But also, some of the 'imports' buy in to the identity in a way that others do not. No two cases are quite the same, and I suppose all pro sports people have the right to maximise their earning potential in whatever way they see fit - it's a short career. There's no single answer to this one.

I have to concur with your sentiments but I do feel for guys like Danny care when a 32 year old Kiwi suddenly becomes English in time for the World Cup.

Yes - Care is a dangerous runner, which as far as I know (not seen much of him) Heinz is not - he seems to have been selected for his box-kicking game!

Here's a novel idea - make playing for your country unpaid. That would save Wales a fair amount even at £5k a game. Pay the money saved to the regions in proportion to the players provided. I wonder how many of the current English Kiwis would view that if you took away their £15k match fees?

I’d say that’s peanuts for having to put up with Eddie Jones and his antics. The guy just doesn’t come across nicely in the press or media. I know that his demeanour may be his way of shielding his players from the flack, but I just don’t like it. He may be a very nice guy away from the cameras and media, I’ve never met him.
