I do. Cheers for that, Simon.

Heard he's been going well but have only seen the odd clip. Last Saturday's game shows just how much we've upgraded!
Think he's had some concussion issues. Did see some brief highlights of him playing against Northampton recently. Seem to recall one of his trademark bursts through the Northampton defence to score a try but I'd had a few by that stage so could easily be wrong.

How could we face him? His club is not in the Euro cup I thought?

I was being cefatious ;)

I wasn't certain last year it would be the case but, seeing Henshaw's form since coming back from injury, I honestly believe we have gotten an upgrade. I haven't seen Te'o this season though, so maybe he is a more intelligent player now?

He's batter at thirteen, where's he lining out for Wuss?

He's batter alright; like a marsbar from the Sea Shell on Sandwidth Street...if that still exists.
I actually think Henshaw is possibly better at 13 than at 12 but he is a cracking player wherever we play him. Was worried he wouldn't be the same player after the injury...but he seems stronger. Would like to see a bit more of the skill he definitely has.

T'eo got 10 minutes for England v Saffers so he's lost to us for ever!

Not sure we'll miss him all the same.

I don't think we'll miss him at all. For all the line breaks he made defences soon worked him out to the point that he was nearly the creative black hole that is Bastrenaud. I watched him carefully from his early starts and he never really saw the pass as an option (off loads do not count). Essentially the defence could double team him knowing that his passing skill set was average to poor. I think this was partly the reason that Madigan threw the pass out in the Heino semi-final againt Toulon, he had no faith that T'eo could make the pass that was necessary to put the winger clear.

My comment was more that I prefer to see Ringrose and Henshaw together. I quite like him as a player but I think we are better off the way things have gone.

So I guess Ben’s English odyssey has not worked out too good with his training ground scuffle and subsequent omission from Eddie’s squad. Is this the end or will he undergo a Cipriani type journey of redemption.
The odds are good but the goods are odd.

He is said to be looking at relocating to France where his International caps will probably add a few quid to his paycheck. (as he will be free during intl windows)

Still waiting for Cipriani to undergo a Cipriani type journey of redemption
I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.
