Ah lads.
What the hell is wrong with calling players in your matchday squad that are not starting – your replacements or your substitutes? Seriously like? It’s how it’s always been and there’s no need to change it.
Eddie Jones was the first up with his ‘finishers’. Then came Harlequins (interestingly coached by former England Defence Coach Paul Gustard) with their ‘game changers’.
And now we have the Bristol Bears with their ‘Impact players’. For feck sake lads. Will you cop on and cut this crap out.
