The Glasgow match was a dead rubber as far as Leicester was concerned having already FTQ...

Mako put in a 70 minute shift on Friday at Wuzza and appears to have come through it unscathed. I'd be inclined to start with Marler with Mako on the bench.

Dom Barrow will be 24 next month. Bumface became England captain when he was only 22. If you're good enough, you're old enough.
