Trump was previously ordered to pay Carroll $5 mill...

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
OHC has only just come back from injury, tbf. Borthwick brought him to Leicester, so clearly he likes him. Yeah that’s fair. But will he be given another go then if he shows the form he did? I doubt it. He moves off certain players so quick. Or in the case of Murley/Radwan - never even gives them a...

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
I think Steward and Muir are the only 100kg+ backs in the squad, aren't they? Am I missing anyone? Freeman Great shout. I'd forgotten about him. It’s not just a size thing. I’d happily have the different threat of a player like Radwan in the back line that can pull something out of nothing.

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
There's absolutely zero evidence to suggest that Scabbers is going to drop 6 new players into his backline. He's just not that guy, and that's not test rugby. He has, however, got to make a minimum of 5 changes from the backline he fielded in the last WC game - (4 from the SF). Which is why he's se...
