Clifford out of Argentina tour with shoulder problem

England international Jack Clifford

Jack Clifford will miss England’s tour of Argentina at the end of the Premiership season after Harlequins confirmed he will undergo shoulder surgery.

Quins expect the 24-year-old to be absent for up to three months as he recovers from a problem that has been troubling him throughout the 2016-17 campaign.

“While it is hugely disappointing for Jack to miss the conclusion of our season, the issue needed addressing immediately,” Quins director of rugby John Kingston told the club’s official website.

“I have no doubt Jack will do all that he can to get himself back to fitness and return all the better and stronger for it.”

Since making his international debut in February 2016 the forward has made 10 appearances for Eddie Jones’ side, but only started twice.

With the British and Irish Lions expected to leave Jones without a number of his first-team regulars for the two-Test series against the Pumas, Clifford will miss out on the chance to impress.

The All Blacks strongest midfield partnership for the next World Cup is already clear

Great points.

Following on from your observation of the AB’s under the Razor regime, I totally agree and why Beauden would resort to a contestable kick after several unsuccessful phases to breach the gainline and wonder if that was philosophical in how that regime viewed ‘attack’ which to the fan looked dysfunctional and incoherent especially when resulting after all that - in a contestable?

Where do you think the reds and brums need to improve in their games brett? You alluded to the lack of gainline carries by the brums, what about the reds? Of course, an ugly win is better than nothing but I worry these ugly wins weren’t against any team in the top 5… Odd that both of these teams actually have decent records against the better teams this year (canes vs reds aside), but have both had uncharacteristic fades and losses against lower ranked teams.

Aussie Super Rugby takes: Wallabies lock’s statement, Brumbies must muscle up

Fair argument again, but my point is if the Brumbies want to be top two and title winners, they need a better gainline winning %. That is as simple as I can make my point.

Re the points for and against, as you point out, the Reds have scored almost 80 points less than the Brums.

Aussie Super Rugby takes: Wallabies lock’s statement, Brumbies must muscle up

Wallabies line speed only increased in the rate at which suaalii was back pedalling by the end of last year. Reds I’d argue are running a ‘connected’ rush D this year, I think connection is still more important than the rush, but they are coming up with more speed than they did, and the wallabies did last year imo. But, oppo teams have certainly found something out wide as the last 3 weeks at least, and even the drua, moved the ball their as often as possible.

Reds run a defence like the Wallabies. So yes, you are right, no rush, no umbrella. I would go further and say their linespeed is slower than the Wallabies, the Wallabies sped up in the back end of the year.

Swain is a quality player. That incident was ages ago and Quinn Tupaea is back playing well now. So time to move on.

I think Swain should’ve played way more last year for the Wallabies. Particularly when Frost was exhausted.

Adam Coleman last played for Tonga in a loss to Spain, July 2024. So he’s eligible again in July 2027.

Three overseas players that must be brought home for the Wallabies

Definitely good enough, as backup to Wright. Currently he’s the best Aussie fullback in the world, we don’t know how Wright will come back from his injury.

Who knows, maybe Banks will have family issues or whatever and want to return. Highly unlikely but if it’s based on ability and form he should be in the Wallabies squad in the middle of the year. The 3 tests they play in July are very important to them, the French will likely pick a stronger team than what was sent to New Zealand last year and having lost to Ireland as well as Italy last year 3 losses could potentially be on the cards if they don’t pick their absolute best.

Yeah the three OS picks will be locked in contractually, and a lot more that you would then have to try to bring back instead!

But I’m not sure Tupou will continue to be one, or obviously Big will for that matter either (past the WC).

The stage was all set for Ireland, so why did we witness such a poor performance?

Ireland? Poor performance? Were we watching the same game? This is the closest score between these two sides in a decade. That doesn’t just happen because a couple England players are taking time off. Obviously, Ireland wants to perform better and obviously it wasn’t a perfect performance, but this was the best performance we’ve seen anyone put in against England in years.

They’ll be eligible later in the year, so a good pick to get them back for 2027. But why stop at 3 players?

I think the purpose here is to actually improve them SB. Can’t sign him up? Can’t improve a side.

But that is a bugger because I think he is good enough to add depth, SR or Internationally?

They only played at the WC, and are eligible again I believe.
