Really could do with Yeaman playing, be a big ask without him and Gleeson.

As others have said although Fitz is a loss, the form of our back three has meant that we are in a much better position to cope without him than last season.

If Yeaman plays i fancy us to win tonight.

He pay's on the left, doesn't he? Our youngun Gaskell has looked shakey when good centres have tried to take him on the outside.

If yeaman plays, we have manu, yeaman and briscoe on the left which is very strong if we actually give them the ball

Shenton is named in our 19 but we've been told he's highly unlikely to play. I think coaches probably want as many of their first choice players to play and will give them maximum opportunity to recover from whatever is bothering them.

We're without LMS and still without Clough so our bench will be light - again! Made worse if Soliola has to play at centre once more, to cover for Shenton.

Humberside saying that obst likely to be missing

At least we can fall back on the ever dependable combination of washy and horne in the halfs

Looks like being a lousy evening of sport - England fail at cricket, Murray failing at tennis, and now we get to play Saints without a scrum half.

Terrific.

Why's that lousy?

I'm a sucker for cheering for Brits in sports tournaments, no matter how Scottish they might be. And I'm one of the few people who don't like Nadal.

I'm the same but he hates the English, so him.

Agreed, scottish tw@

Does he? Thought most of that was media mischief making TBH.

Anyway - he's getting more Scottish by the minute with this performance.

My thoughts too, hopefully Haye will buck the trend tomorrow.

England Ladies beat New Zealand though
