Harsh on Swift, I think he's been good.

Glad TP is back - I'd start him instead of LMS.

How long is Walker injured for - or is he just omitted?

Ant was still on crutches when I saw him Saturday

As I've said before, to the usual mockery, there isn't competition for places at Saints. Swift could have been the world's best winger last weekend, but if Gardner is fit, he will play.

If Swift isnt injured and has just been dropped thats another poor decision for me.

Walker out for another 7-8 weeks. Had plaster removed this week & returned to saints for rehab in week.

I don't see what the support for Swift as a winger is about? He's clearly not a winger and will never forge a career there, so why waste time pretending he is? Gardner has done well when he's played and if anything, his returns will be vital given how poor the pack is at the moment. He'll probably do 100m worth of hard work through the game which could be crucial. Swift won't do that.

Is swift a scrum half ?

Thought he started off as a stand off. Wonder if Brown will try him out in that position when the opportunity arises.
