According to the doc

pop !

If true, then for one of the first times ever I will encourage Hull to play a very dull, up the middle forwards game.

Saints pack isn't what it was, and sadly without Obst I can't see us playing free flowing rugby.

If true, then I hope he's been out all week - to train up until gameday with Obst then for him to pull up on the day of the game would make all our attacking training useless.

Not sure who I'd move TBH. Washy/Horne in halves is an extremely depressing thought. I personally thought Turner had a few decent games in the halves at the beginning of the year but if Yeamo is out and even with Gleeson out it might not be an option. Do the U20's use the same set plays as the first team? Could Williams be called up?

Yeamo's playing

i like williams, i think he is a really good up and comer, him and nicklas, both have done well enough to have a crack at the 1st team in my opinion (before nicklas injury). dont think there gunna get a look in next season either with ellis and seymour coming in, id rather we promote our own youth before recruiting else where other wise whats the point of the u20s

Good news. Even still, I think i'd play Westerman at 6, Horne at 7 and Washy at 13.

Westerman is at 6

Dowes
Radford
Lauaki
Lyne

Just a disclaimer, I most certainly am not Richard Agar . Right selection in these circumstances. Although I'm guessing Washy will play second row and Tickle loose forward and that the team sheet is just mindgames? .

Got a bad feeling about this one now

out

obst
fitz
long
gleeson

A lot of talent missing there.

Gutted I couldn't go now

Anyone know why he's out? - need to text a mate in Portugal!

He's flown to Tonga for a new passport

Now why would an Englishman need to do that?
