For the first time since DP's been in charge the 17 won't be decided until this evening. But it's looking Williams & Wrench won't pass fitness tests.

The plan is to have either Walker or Whitehead at #6, Minikin on the wing with Matautia & Ratchford in the centres.

Originally I thought having Walker or Whitehead in the halves would be a disaster, but how much worse can they be than Matautia ? At least Walker has a kicking game !

Oh well, I take heart from the fact that we have won trophies with seemingly leftfield selections at No.6, so you never know. Less than ideal, but so it was last week and we still put in a good performance. Chin up, and all that.

It’s effectively two classic 7s in the halves then, with no running threat. Lots of kicking to touch is my guess.
