Facebook just told me Tom Court has been called up!!?!?!

Is there any truth in this?

Twitter agrees, for Corbs

Loosehead cover? I would have gone for Paul James. The best scrummaging loosehead Wales has had for 10 years.

Disaster. Corbiserio had an excellent match on Saturday bar the missed covering tackle for the second Ozzie try. I really don't get the Court call up in truth. He was excellent for us until February time but his form dropped rapidly. Maybe there is no one else left. I doubt he'll not get a minute of play anyway. POC leaving is a massive, massive blow.

Today is a disaster :/

Whoever it is won't play, Mako will start and Grant bench

Tom Court is already in Australia, that is the main reason why he has been called up. Corbs should be fine for later games Poc is a bigger concern

I get the feeling that James is one of the players Gats doesn't rate

Court was already in Brisbane. Straight on to the bench for Tuesday.

Makes sense when you learn he was already in Oz.

Why was court there? A bit of inspired holiday thinking, seeing what happened to Shane Williams? If so, kudos to him!

he is australian. visiting family after Irish tour in Americs

Court is from Australia he may have went to visit relatives but good timing I guess, won't matter he is unlikely to play in tests but good for Tom it will be an experiance for him, that he would not otherwise have got.

Qantas' website is about to crash soon as every player books a holiday to Oz for next week and New Zealand in 2017.....

I'm surprised all the flyhalves in Britain and Ireland didn't travel out there just in case.
