Easter in doubt for Ireland game

Easter is now in doubt for tomorrows game He has a calf strain and Fourie has been called in as cover in case Easter fails a fitness test on Saturday.
Its seems as though there are a lot of injuries appearing or being kept a bit quiet.

Where did you hear this?

With all these injury doubts, should we take a 31 man squad to the World Cup? Even though he isn't in the squad and won't be able to play, take Hendre Fourie down to New Zealand to train with the team and, should one of our back-row players be ruled out Fourie can slot seamlessly in.

It's only something I mention because Moody is a long-term doubt and now Wood and Easter have both picked up knocks. I still think Fourie should have gone instead of Shaw to cover for this!

If England get any more injries they might as well not bother going to the world cup.

Ireland v England just before the world cup isnt looking like the best of scheduling for both countries

England will have played the same number of games as everyone else. Not really a mistake.

Robbo, why would Sale agree to lose a player for the world cup when they didn't need to

EPS? RFU throw them a few quid? A sense of "the greater good"?

Oh dear. Do yourself a favour pal and wrap up!

Called Fourie up today who did well enough and yet you say that. It shows England can call people up and be fine enough. It can't be just me that sees how wrong you always are?

Fourie until his early exit! & Haskell both did well yesterday so I personally am happy with the cover in the back row.

What's the worst case scenario in the case Easter gets injured again and is out of the RWC? Then who is Haskell's cover?

We'd call someone in. Not sure who. Possibly Crane or Narraway. Maybe even Waldrum but he didn't get any game time. Not sure if he didn't impress in training or got injured. The problem would be if both Haskell and Easter had minor problems that ruled them out of one game. You can't call someone up without sending someone else home. Not sure what would happen then
