That reminds me of the 80s tale my RL-supporting mate told me about the England RU team going to a pre-match meal.Brian Barley (centre from Wakefield?) said to England fly-half Les Cusworth, "Pass t'salt, Les."So Cusworth kicked it off the table...
The choice to replace Willis in the squad may be the most bizarre selection decision I've ever seen. Instead of looking around the league at some of the exceptional back row talent (Simmonds, Dombrandt, Hill, other Willis, other Curry, Ludlow, Ludlam, Harrison and plenty more) they've called up a lock who's played 7 games (ever). I'm too confused to even be annoyed about it.

How many more players need to go down with the bug before France v Scotland gets called off
Scotland v Whateversleftofthefrancesquad is on
So, to avoid France being understrength, they are likely to postpone it to next week when Scotland will be without ten players? That sounds fair...
