Yeah, course it has. Like when he cried off against the best packs in the world playing for England. Oh, hang on. He didn't, he played well.
I don't have a lot of time for Eastmond, but your constant regurgitation of the "oh he bottled it in the under 16's" story is a little tiresome.
If KE takes to the pitch this weekend he has my full support. If he takes the p*ss out of the fans and his team-mates again through lack of commitment on it, he loses that support instantly and can rot on the sidelines until his contract is out. No excuses about his ankle injury now, that's long gone.
Take the line on, marker tackles, enthusiastic defence, encouraging team-mates. It's very easy to prove he has what it takes to get back in the side - it's just a question of whether he's got the bottle to take on the detractors head-on. I have a feeling he'll fail the test, but I hope he comes through it.
