I thought 1or 2 would be sat in the stands this week. Turns out you have one of your best players back!!

Should make an exciting game. 3rd spot the prize.

What about playing in a 6 Nations every year in front of packed stadiums of cheering fans in countries that he's never played in, playing in Argentina, South Africa, Japan in 2019 etc or going on the 2017 NZ tour with the British & Irish Lions? Or playing the same 2-3 countries every 2-3 years in RL?

Tough call...

Great to see Tommy back, shame KC doesn't have the courage of his convictions though and drop a few "big" names . Can only see this going one way unless there's a major change in effort

What is the point in KC saying he will use the big stick when he uses a feather duster to show his players that poor performances means you are dropped.

I'm prepared to give him and the two halves a last benefit of the doubt and hope I am eating my words at 10 pm on Thursday. TM will play.

I think he mentioned he would drop players if they were replaceable, he hasn,t got replacements if he dropped Walsh, Burns, Mose. Could be different once we have Vea and Wilkin back. For me it was just a shot across the bows from KC for the under performers to get there finger out.

He didn't, he said:

But we have got some people earning big money who just don’t want to do it. I am afraid you can earn your big money sat in the stand. Reputations are going to go out of the window, I have said it all year, but there are no false promises.

And just before that he said:

“It is tough. The trials and tribulations of coaching are here and it is my job to try and improve my halves. "
