Ealing have posted their entire senior / first team squad on the website . It shows 51 players !. I was under the impression that it had been vastly reduced for the forth coming season . There are going to be a lot of players who will get minimum game time , unless they are loaned out to other clubs.

I am a great believer in tried and tested combinations over many matches to enable players to understand and work with players around them.

Scrum half and fly half.

Centre partnerships

Front row

Etc

One of the key ones is a hooker throwing in to lineout jumpers. The timing, accuracy and knowledge of multiple calls.

Donny have a full time squad size of 30 plus 4 academy players. We are looking to bring in two more players.

Since the Blues forum has disappeared it is hard to work out the Blues squad but I believe we have announced half an Ealing Squad of 26 so far. I think there are a couple more to be announced before some Saints DRs.

Friday is the first friendly so we’ll find out a bit more on Thursday.

Saints have a squad of 57 and one of the players I just spotted is Sonny Tonga ‘uiha, wonder if we will see the son play for the club his dad started to make a name for himself!
