@RugbyInsideLine Smith has been training at 12 for Saints and played there when Belleau came on in a recent game. Something he's been working on to help with bench versatility.
@WheresTommyV Agreed Tom. Exactly my thoughts.
I think Hendy not being included will baffle a lot of people, not just Saints fans, on his current form.
@thepaulwilliams ......... and he isn't....
On form he surely gets in ahead of Murley or Daly.
Don't think there's much more he could be doing to get tin then training squad at least.
@WheresTommyV Great for the lads selected. Not sure Hendy could have done much more and covers multiple positions compared to Murley.
Pearson is unlucky too but England are blessed with back row options.
What is happening at Northampton School for Boys is a remarkable, feel-good story for English rugby union and the sport as a whole. Get stuck in:

@CharlieFelix I think the Saints conversations with Belleau will play a part in this too. He comfortably slotted in at 15 earlier in the season. If Furbs decides to go it would allow Saints to offer Belleau and probably Hendy more than currently on the table. However, I hope he stays a Saint.
@WheresTommyV Nice blend of experience and youth. Great to see Tom James back. Still no ASY and not on unavailable list π€ thought we might have seen James Martin too.
