So who are the seven catching a plane home on Wednesday? Is Genia going to be on it? There are now four hookers in the squad, one of them surely has to go home. There are also five second-rowers, possibly two too many.

I would prefer if Brown was cut but with McCalman and Brown both favoured there's no need for Higginbotham...

Simmons was the stand out against Leicester I think. Would prefer him to stay over Van. I guess it will depend on the game tomorrow...

On current form, Davies the only certainty, to go at this stage.

Will it be six sent home and JOC (James O'Connor) not to return. That would make sense.

I thought both Simmons and Van had good games against Leicester, I couldn't say one was better than the other. I'd like to keep both and play Mumm and Van with Simmons on the bench against Italy. Sharpie badly needs a rest to freshen up for the Frogs. I'd put Chisholm on the plane. Won't happen though, Dingo is a "play till you're f**ked" sort of coach.

Cooper dropped, does tackling practice all week. Backrow rotated, McCalman and Brown take a turn to watch from the stands. Robinson rested to do a shitload of aerobic work, Genia on the physio's bench. Best performers picked against France.
