Interesting that both props have been dropped/rotated?
I can see how Louis silver has been selected as he did play well on weds, I wonder wether matt j still isn't match fit, and to be fair to will, I think he has earned his place.
Some interesting decisions
Lewis B has been consistantly one of our best and most tenacious players and tacklers?
Danny Wright scoring regularly and interesting to see if Morgan is match fit???
I haven't seen enough of the props to comment
But on the flip side strong bench although no back row replacement (Tom P switch?)
I am so looking forward to this my first game of the season. I think we'll beat Henley adequately and will get the bonus point fourth try.
Do I need to warn everyone that Old Statler is coming down? Beware!
Fordy, I agree to a certain extent regarding squad rotation, and I accept you know more about rugby than I do, but I also remember the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Tim, didn't say i liked it did i? I merely made a statement, (maybe you haven't got those reading glasses on again? There must be confidence in the squad to make as many changes to a proven side, don't you think? It's probably for the best, anyways see you in The Engine 1 to half past
