The idea of Wilkin at hooker is a good one and resist putting Scott Moore back there. Moore is playing well as a back rower who can jump in at dummy half from time to time rather than a full time 9. With us getting more forwards back from injury we could do this and not miss Wilkins running while keeping him in the middle of the park for his defence and organisation.

Eastmond may also be on option as cover for hooker in the short term.

Point I'm making, is 3 losses on the trot would be a disaster. We need to win 2 out 3 to keep our top 3 hopes alive.

Did Roby break his cheekbone a couple of seasons back and then played after about 2 weeks off.

He'll play a similar role at full back as he does at stand off, it'd no major change really.
