Hock pulls out of the England squad for personal reasons, Liam Farrell called up as a replacement.

Clubs are not keen on players playing internationally, the players are because the payments have increased :wink:

Enough said, should professional sportspeople be payed for playing for their country? Debate?

No. As long as there is some compensation available if they receive a career threatening injury when representing their country.

That said, as this match is not a true representative match, they should receive payment as I am sure the Exiles wouldn't do it for free as they are representing no-one.

These matches are an absolute joke - they've already cost us one star player and could have a serious impact on our season - and for what? So 20 people can watch 34 players going through the motions?

I am just thankful that Sam won't be playing in this one.

Surely the fact that John Wilkin is captain should be a perfectly good reason to pull out.
