Yeah I read your original comment and thought fair enough - then looked a bit closer and had a 'hang on' sort of moment.
Very odd that a player would be pulled into a team that has so much history and staure behind it for a one off - It is normal practice to always include an uncapped test player and one from the team they are playing - Odd they have gone with Tompkins. Wish him well though, be interesting to see where he lines up.
