If there is no-one to play 6 (moore, lomax, eastmond) then wilkin has to move to 6. we then have two choices. Bring in another forward that didn’t play against hudds (ashurst, fa’asavlu, fozzard) or bring in gardner and move flannery back into the back row. It has to be the 2nd option as none of the other forwards at our disposal are match fit.

Therefore, assuming no lomax, moore or eastmond….

Wello, foster, gidley, meli, gardner, wilkin, smith, graham, cunningham, hargreaves, soliola, flannery, puletua. Bench: roby, clough, emitt, Dixon.

I might be tempted to start with clough or Dixon and have TP on the bench for impact.

If lomax or moore is fit they just come in for eastmond and its otherwise the same as hudds.

Possibly, although it's a big risk tom play someone who hasn't played first team rugby since April and has played in just two under 21 games.

Well, to be fair, we have been doing that with Kyle. He hasn't played a full game since June. What's the difference, really? Two months at most?

We're more desperate at half back than we are in the pack?

Good point!
