Long range view of Saints game

Saints had been hit by a Covid-19 outbreak, but Chris Boyd has confirmed that has now cleared up and, aside from long-term injury victim Danny Hobbs-Awoyemi, they could have a largely fully fit squad to call upon at Kingsholm on January 30.

Assume they’ll be missing the likes of Lawes and Biggar. Not sure what the situation is for shadow squad etc, as they could then also be without Furbank and Mitchell. Of course the same goes for us with our internationals.

My understanding is that the shadow squad stay with their clubs but are controlled/training/on call with England at all times.

Cheers mute, had been wondering.

I was wrong.

The shadow squad will be training and available for their clubs throughout
BUT RFU Covid tested and ready to join England whenever called-upon. Seems fair for clubs......and players and replicates the previous arrangements without disappointing plAyers and clubs dropping them laTe in match-week.
