6 Nations 2014 - Other Nations.
Italian Squad Named.
Mirco Bergamasco recalled to Italian squad
http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/six-natio ... lian-fold/
Fit-again centre Mirco Bergamasco could play for Italy for the first time in more than a year after being included in the squad for next month's Six Nations Championship.
Coach Jacques Brunel has named him in a 30-man selection for their opening two matches against champions Wales in Cardiff on 1 February and France in Paris eight days later.
Bergamasco, 30, fractured a kneecap when he last played for Italy against Australia in Florence in November 2012.
Brunel has also brought in Zebre Rugby fullback Giuglielmo Palazzani for the first time while Benetton Treviso winger Angelo Esposito is awaiting his first start.
Palazzani's Zebre team mate Marco Bortolami will reach 100 caps should he start either of the two games in the second row.
Italy Six Nations squad:
Martin Castrogiovanni, Lorenzo Cittadini, Alberto De Marchi, Michele Rizzo, Leonardo Ghiraldini, Davide Giazzon, Marco Bortolami, Marco Fuser, Quintin Geldenhuys, Antonio Pavanello, Robert Barbieri, Mauro Bergamasco, Paul Derbyshire, Joshua Furno, Sergio Parisse (captain), Alessandro Zanni. Backs: Edoardo Gori, Tobias Botes, Tommaso Allan, Luciano Orquera, Tommaso Benvenuti, Michele Campagnaro, Gonzalo Garcia, Alberto Sgarbi, Mirco Bergamasco, Angelo Esposito, Tommaso Iannone, Luke McLean, Guglielmo Palazzani, Leonardo Sarto.

Re: 6 Nations 2014 - Other Nations.
England Squad named.
http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/six-natio ... ons-squad/
Flood left out of England Six Nations squad
Toby Flood's England career looks officially over after George Ford was confirmed as his replacement in Stuart Lancaster's Elite Player Squad.
Former Leicester playmaker Ford is the only change to Lancaster's EPS, with Freddie Burns keeping his place alongside first-choice fly-half Owen Farrell.
England head coach Lancaster said: "We have kept changes to a minimum because we believe this squad can take us forward into 2015.
"I am delighted for George, who is rewarded for his form for Bath and we are excited about including him in the senior Elite Player Squad."
Leicester fly-half Flood will join Toulouse in the summer, and England do not select overseas-based players.
So Lancaster has chosen to jettison the former Newcastle man now rather than in the summer.
Flood's England career therefore appears to be over after winning 60 caps, while former Leicester man Ford steps into the squad on a full-time basis.
Lancaster has made only one official change to his EPS, but eight England Saxons stars are set to make senior England appearances during the RBS 6 Nations.
With injury concerns surrounding a host of senior England men, Lancaster has taken the option to promote a host of second-string men on a short-term basis.
Northampton's Luther Burrell, Exeter duo Tom Johnson and Jack Nowell, Jonny May from Gloucester and Matt Mullan from Wasps are all among that eight.
Leicester's Ed Slater, Sale prop Henry Thomas and Bath's young wing Anthony Watson complete the set.
Props Mullan and Thomas step up to cover tighthead David Wilson's calf injury which could sideline him for a month, the majority of the Six Nations tournament.
Lancaster has promoted these eight Saxons as cover for Manu Tuilagi, Tom Croft, Marland Yarde, Alex Corbisierio, Christian Wade, Geoff Parling and Ben Foden, as well as the doubt over Wilson.
Northampton's Stephen Myler, Bath hooker Rob Webber and Saracens scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth will also train with the senior squad.
Lancaster confirmed he has retained his injured crew of players with a hope he can take them on England's summer tour to New Zealand.
The England boss admitted he could not reasonably select Flood, despite pleading with the 28-year-old not to move to France in the summer.
Lancaster said: "We are hopeful that some of those injured may be available before the end of the Six Nations and certainly for the (summer) New Zealand tour.
"I have met Toby Flood several times and told him I really wanted him to stay at Leicester and play for England.
"He has made a lifestyle choice and we respect that, but given the RFU's policy of not selecting players based overseas save for exceptional circumstances it was important that we allow others such as George Ford to progress.
"Stephen Myler has a chance to lay down a marker when he trains with us while we have decided that Freddie Burns should get more international game time with the Saxons against the O2 Ireland Wolfhounds at Kingsholm on January 25, while Rob Webber and Richard Wigglesworth will give us some depth to our training."
England RBS Six Nations squad:
Forwards: Attwood (Bath), Cole (Leicester), Hartley (Northampton), Kvesic (Gloucester), Johnson (Exeter), Launchbury (Wasps), Lawes (Northampton), Marler (Harlequins), Morgan (Gloucester), Mullan (Wasps), Robshaw (Harlequins), Slater (Leicester), Thomas (Sale Sharks), B Vunipola (Saracens), M Vunipola (Saracens), Webber (Bath), Wood (Northampton), Youngs (Leicester).
Backs: Ashton (Saracens), Barritt (Saracens), Brown (Harlequins), Burrell (Northampton), Care (Harlequins), Dickson (Northampton), Eastmond (Bath), Farrell (Saracens), Ford (Bath), Goode (Saracens), May (Gloucester), Myler (Northampton), Nowell (Exeter), Twelvetrees (Gloucester), Youngs (Leicester), Watson (Bath), Wigglesworth (Saracens).

Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Re: 6 Nations 2014 - Other Nations.
Take Burrell away and that English back line is really lacking in size and power. If the French and Welsh packs can get 50% of the ball their backs will fancy their chances of them running all over them.
Re: 6 Nations 2014 - Other Nations.
Careless of Leicester to lose 2 talented outhalves so quickly. Ford to Bath, Flood to Toulouse.
Re: 6 Nations 2014 - Other Nations.
I think Flood was as much about his England prospects. They couldn't match the money on offer in France(I'm not sure who their marquee player is but I don't think it would make a difference) and he's been 2nd fiddle to Farrell for sometime now. It also looked like if 1 of them was to be dropped for a challenger it would be him. His aim now is to make as much as he can. I think this could start to happen with more English players of his age who are second fiddle or on the fringes of the EPS given that the English team now seems so settled before the world cup. Also there could be an exodus after 2015. Care seems to have fallen out of favour so my money would be on him. Also one of Brown, Foden and Goode.ronk wrote:Careless of Leicester to lose 2 talented outhalves so quickly. Ford to Bath, Flood to Toulouse.
I'd agree re Ford. Cockerill was pissed off at that one! His Dads the coach at Bath isn't he?
Wonder who they'll sign as a replacement. James O'Connor is only signed to the Not Nots until the end of the season.

I'd have selected the scrum half Davies from the Scarlets and Dollman The centre at Exeter other than it's a v solid squad.
Injuries are my main concern but if everyone is fit the team pretty much picks itself with only the 10 and lock position up for debate

Six Nations 2014: Chris Robshaw reappointed England captain
England have named Chris Robshaw as captain for the Six Nations.
The Harlequins flanker, 27, first led his country for the 2012 tournament, and has captained the side in 19 of their last 22 Tests.
"Chris is in the team on merit as a player but he has also shown himself to be an outstanding leader," said England head coach Stuart Lancaster.
