Christian Day is in the England squad so won't feature. He was never going to, either, as he was originally in the Saxons squad.

Fisher has been injured for circa 3 months.

"I wouldn’t entirely discount Toulon bound ex Brumbie and Western Force Wallaby Ma’afu being involved."

Ma'afu was motionless on the floor for five minutes or so in the second half last Saturday and had to be helped off the pitch. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's rested this week under the concussion protocols.

Thanks for the time and effort in producing the preview Chris! I'm sure all our visitors meant to add that to their corrections...

And thanks from me too, Chris. And here's hoping we can field a side with both brains and brawn enough to do the job on Saturday.

A good one to win (as with every other game from here on in!). Many thanks Chris.

As ever your kind comments are much appreciated.

These things do take some effort to produce every single week (well when I'm in the UK anyway)so acknowledgement of that is gratefully received.

As for visitors. <shrugs> I guess that I don't know as much about their team as they do but I do my best to research although quite how I'd have known about Fisher I can't work out. Day? Yup should have remembered he was in the Saxons.

Heigh ho! <shrugs>

I wasn't point scoring, Chris, sorry if you took it that way.

Fisher had a great start at FG, then got injured playing in the LV at Scarlets, and hasn't been seen since. Had a brief chat with him after the EM derby in December, he's had metal pins put in his foot and said he was still a few months away from a return.

Hope he mends fully

Indeed so and thanks for that GR.

Ross McMillan now plies his trade with Brizzle.

Oh really! Thanks.

The website(s) I use for my research don't yet show that move.

One of the issues I have is that when it comes to the more fringe players that get used in the LV= it's quite tricky to know what's happening as some go out on loan and so can show up as having moved clubs as their first appearance triggers their presence.

I could try and drill down through newspapers etc but I really have neither the time nor inclination.

Maybe I shouldn't bother when it comes to the LV= as it's pretty pointless producing inaccurate stuff.

Or you could say "producing mostly accurate stuff" ?
And very good it is too, even with the very rare inaccuracy !!

Well yes that's true I suppose.

You're not one of those "glass half full" chappies that I read so much about are you Steve?

Grand read as ever - I always like the extended metaphor. My only complaint is that it's a little light on fart gags. Now there's a challenge for the next AP preview...

Some folk do comment "what's all the stuff about the computer (or theme of the week) got to do with it"

And I am tempted to point out that it's allegoric or as you say an extended metaphor but it somehow seems patronising to do so.

Anyway glad you (and I'm sure most other readers)"get it".

Ta.

Fart gags. Like the real thing need to be used sparingly but I'll see what I can do!

Thanks Chris - and of course you are right - it's difficult.

I'm not sure I agree with you on Mele - I think he's had numerous brain farts this season despite having had chances well after the point at which I'd have canned him.

...

I guess he's a more sparky/risk taking #9 than Sam. A bit like Burns vs Williams perhaps.

But not to even get even a bench spot since his start against Wasps seems harsh.

But you and I have never really agreed on Mele iirc?

Perhaps not.

I don'y dislike the bloke - he's a decent player with a good attitude it seems but I don't think him an improvement on Harrison - though as you say maybe more risk taking.

I see that Saints have signed Tom Ryder just in time for Saturday !
