What changes to last Saturday's team do you think, if any there will be for this Saturday?

Freddie at 10 is most likely, I would like to see Tait back if fit and move Veainu to the wing along with Betham if also fit.

Betham on the wing or in the centre?, Is Owen Williams injured?

If Manu is fit enough I would put him in to replace Seremai Bai and hopefully have a back line of Veianu, Goneva, Manu, Smith, and Thompstone. That would be a pacey bunch. With George Catchpole & De Villiers if fit on the bench.

JDV and Manu definitely not fit.

Betham is back, so likely back at 13. Tait out for another week. Croft also back fit.
Matt Smith also took a knock as did Owen Williams, both to be assessed tomorrow with Owen looking unlikely.
upfront - Fitzgerald nursing a knock also - rated 50/50

suspect
9 - BY
10 - FB
11 - NG
12 - MS
13 - PB
14 - AT
15 - TV

up front
1- MA
2 - TY
3 - DC
4 - MF ?
5 - GK
6 - ES
7 - BoC
8 - LM

Suspect if MF is not fit, Slater to lock and Croft at 6

Woudl be my educated and semi informed guess

When I saw 14 AT and 15 TV I thought we had got Alesana Tuilagi back and Tom Varndell being played out of position at full back :smt001

Who in their right mind would even consider putting a player with no match fitness and no competitive game time for 14 months straight into a European match?

Even at 69 Bill(W) 2 I'd pit my wits against yours any day, incidentally what happened to Bill (W) 1? I've heard that Betham is back so I'd play him instead of Manu who has you correctly say will lack match fitness. So let's make Veianu, Goneva, Smith, Betham & Thompstone.

You will, if youd study the forum, discover that Bill W declared at 20000 posts and became Bill W (2). I am concerned for you that you wish to pit youw wits against someone considerably older (and wiser) than yourself. Why not chooses someone your own age!
