I reckon the summer might see a pretty significant influx of Bath players. Will Butt, Guy Pepper, Max Ojomoh, and Beno Obano were all pretty unlucky not to be involved in the 6N, and I think quite a few of the PRC team could be bolters if they get minutes in the prem over the next weeks. Ewan Richards has been excellent and England really need depth at lock. Ciaran Donoghue and/or Orlando Bailey might get a look in too if any of England’s fly halves are unavailable. Arthur Green and Tom Carr-Smith are playing in more competitive positions but could spring a surprise.

Trusting the same core group of ‘experience’ that’s been there for over five years now will just see the same results, and the same 70% win ratio come years end. If you ignore history, you’re doomed to repeat it.
