"Right. The old rugby thread and the Rugby World Cup thread slipped off the radar ages ago so I'm starting a new one, which I'll keep updated with a \"latest\" sub-heading like with the football threads.First up, of course, has to be today's England squad announcement, and the news that after NINE SODDING YEARS we've finally got rid of everyone who played in the 2003 World Cup. Surprise exclusions are Nick Easter, Mark Cueto and Delon Armitage, while Joe Marler and Jordan Turner-Hall were quite unexpected inclusions. I'm chuffed to bits to see Owen Farrell and Mike Brown in there, and I think bringing Brad Barritt in will be great for settling Farrell's game - I've spoken at length before about the benefits of picking familiar club partnerships.Anyway. The squad in full: \nThoughts? And does anyone know when the other squads are being announced?"
