Great stuff. If all of those players are fit and ready to go then there will be some selection headaches for KC. Past form tells us that if Walsh is fit then KC will probably ease him in from the bench, but once he's ready to start games then there will be some difficult choices to make in the back row. I reckon something like the following:
I'm taking nothing for granted. We're on a roll, but we've had some very tough games over the last few weekends and Cas away is almost never a straightforward fixture.
Is it really wise for two lads on return from injury to both start on the bench, especially if they're not totally over the injury. That combined with Masoe's limited minutes means we could effectively be running with a smaller squad.
Could be a close game for the first 60 mins, but if we play similar to last Friday we should have enough to get the points. Ref Thaler had a stinker for us against Salford but its better then Mr Child I suppose.
