Is there any question marks over Flanders, what with him not getting any minutes last week?

Very true, hadn't considered that.

I mean, he was obviously close to 100% to be included last week, and he's had a week of extra receovery.......

I think they prefer Makinson.

Swift had a good crack of it when he got his chance and has had the experience now. He's put himself in with a great shout for the next time the opportunity arises but it's probably best he consolidates his performances now and keeps his confidence playing in the U20's. He shouldn't be thrown in at the deep end like Gaskell was and to a lesser extent, Lomax.

I'm glad Wilkin is back. I think he adds that bit of craft close to the ruck - the odd little insde ball (giving or receiving), clever support and running.
