Gloucester's Wood out for the season
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/17381991
He's had surgery after his injury against Leicester (pectoral muscle). Out for 3 months. Almost certainly rules him out of any involvement in the South Africa tour. Hopefully back for Gloucester's pre-season

Big loss for Glos! Don't have much strength in depth in the front row. Also a real shame that he won't get the chance to test himself against the SAs in their back garden. Plenty of our forwards will get a tough examination.

Real shame for him, why he hasnt been involved in an England squad so far is beyond me (mind you, so are many aspects of front row play!)

Lots of young LHs pushing for selection, but Corbs really come on this 6Ns, looks like he has secured that shirt for a while now, but might be rested for SA tour, who knows.

That's a real blow for Gloucester as Dan Murphy who is their back up loosehead is not very good.

Re: Gloucester's Wood out for the season
He is without doubt our player of the season by a country mile! He is a massive loss to us. The only saving grace is that his injury comes at a time when Glaws' next 5 games aren't against terrifying packs. I think Dan Murphy is a decent enough player, but he's no Woody!

HKC, you've got Exe at home in 8 days time and we're known for nothing if not for our pack?HongKongCherry wrote:He is without doubt our player of the season by a country mile!

I realised as soon as I wrote that it could sound derogatory, what I meant by that is that we've already faced the teams regarded as having the best packs, whilst no team is going to be a pushover, the loss of Woody will be felt less.

HKC
Murphy is one of the worst scrummaging props in the league. Pray for good weather and an open running game with few scrums if you are relying on him.

Asbo - we just need to get this 6N lark out of the way & get back to the proper stuff!
Ozzy - Murphy gets a lot of stick. Glaws' forum Shedweb is full of it! Personally I feel he is better than he is given credit for. His recent performances, albeit from the bench, have been far sturdier. Having said that the harder ground will come in handy!

Re: Gloucester's Wood out for the season
He often flattered to decieve when he was with us HKC. He is a big lad and should be more powerful than he actually is. His scrum technique is poor. On occasion he gets away with it, but I wouldn't want him as my starter for a long stretch of games.

I don't think Catt or Imolek are likely to get anywhere near the England squad unless there is a seriously big injury list. They both have potential but it is not recognised enough for them to be first or even second choice at their own clubs.

Re: Gloucester's Wood out for the season
Not yet, but plenty of time, both have been involved in the Saxons, but are certainly a way behind Mullan, Wood, Corbs and Marler

True, they do have time on their side.

Re: Gloucester's Wood out for the season
Big loss for Gloucester in finishing the season out, he's been in cracking form for them.
I suspect the only reason he hasn't had an England call up this season has been his penalty rate. Last I heard he was the most penalised player in the premiership and that's the sort of thing that gets magnified on the international stage.
