Quite an interesting team, not many would have predicted it.

Great to see the return of Michael, he is a top, top player. Interesting that Dom seems to have beaten Bish and Delon to a wing berth, two selection casualties out of the Sarries disappointment.

The pairing of Riki and Catty is mouth-watering, which explains I guess why Willis plays, they want the playmaking in the midfield rather than at the base of the ruck/maul. Really tough on Dodge though, who I would have started.

Big test for Skuse, but glad to see Reutenbach on the bench, but where is Collins?

Is Awesome injured? as Danaher getting in a surprise. Legui is as unlucky as Dodge not to start after a superb game against Sarries. Gussie unlucky not to be on the bench for the same reason, but it's a sign of the growing depth of the squad.

Can you shed any light on Collins, Bishop and Dawson. Dropped or injured?

Oh, and Rob, spot on with the backs! - but could do better with the important guys ;)

I have not heard of any injuries, which of course does not mean that there have not been any.

However... Dec has been pressing Daws all season, so maybe he had an extra Mars Bar before training earlier in the week? No idea re the Bish/Feau'nati swap.

It has been my impression that despite the speed of Collins, Beefy may still be seen as our No 1 loose head techie in the tight. Since Saints now boast a pretty decent tight head, maybe we see it as important to counter him?

Not sure if we'll see Dom Feau'nati. According to Rugby Times, Irish haven't sorted out his work permit.

Dom has been with us since July, and no permit = no pay, so I rather think that may be an old story.

Just flounced on by.

Bish and Daws were dropped, simple as that. Straight from their own maaafs last night. I didn't explore it further, would have been impolite.
