Post by Latecomer »

Just announced on the BBC website. Bad news. Time for Ghiraldini and Thacker to step up.

Really bad news with the run in we have.
Bateman returning from injury this week too, so the hooker situation eases slightly. Would have liked to see more VanVuren.

Strange one. He pulled out at first with a back spasm before the game. It must be more than that - I'm prone to them and they pass in a day or two. I do hope it's nothing that requires surgery.

Where is it on the BBC website? I cannot find it in any of the logical places.

I bumped into Tom after the Chiefs game and asked him about his back. He said he'd trained all week, that it was just a tweak and that he would be fit for Wasps. Plainly it's now a bit more than a tweak. At least he's got five months to get himself fit now. I doubt he would have been touring with England this summer.

Seems he's had the surgery (disc problem).

For whatever reason they've clearly decided to hush that up and keep it a secret. Take pressure off Thacker?

Any surgery must have been very recent. He spent most of the Chiefs game standing on the balcony outside the hospitality suites watching the game and chatting cheerfully to those around, refreshment in hand, and apparently told a fellow spectator he'd be back the following week.
