Question

Why isn't Pat Sanderson in the England squad for the 6 nations?

Answer 1

I haven't a clue! He was the only plater who returned from the summer tour in Oz with any dignity, for him to be left out of the England squad over Corry is a crime. At the very least he deserves a place on the bench.

Answer 2

Because he didn't get picked.
