Maybe Emmett to play second row??? Built for a prop that kid.

Emmitt is definitely a prop - 3 caps for Wales there.

Are those squad numbers above now official does anyone know ?

I wouldn't read too much into it. We have some good props next near so pushing Jackson and Huby out of 8 and 10 would have been harsh. He will play prop.

The obvious conclusion to me is Widders is number 25 so we have a spare 2nd row squad number which have gave to Jake.

But why didn't he put Aspinwall at No.11???

I think he might be trying to make him into a second rower. We have plenty of cover at prop but not much in the back row. I may be totally wrong but I can see Matterson trying to do this to make extra cover.

I think Aspinwall has something to prove with all the injurys he has had. Not giving him a starting 13 shirt might be a good move and good motivation for him.

Has anyone noticed who has been named as number 18? Terry has named his squad and his 18th man is Cas Fan. I think it's a great shout and shows just how valued he regards us fans. Terry is hoping we're going to get behind our team like we used to do and naming us in his squad has got to be a first?
