Thought he might be, is Heinz out or will he stay away from the squad.

Big loss for Sarries, Wigglesworth is semi retired from playing now really

Heinz has hamstring injury, so presumably he's out? :smt017

I suspect they’ll assess it on Monday or Tuesday and make the decision then.

The other option is someone like Cockanasiga or McConnachie (or May perhaps) are ruled out due to “injury” and then Jones could keep his options open with all three 9s in the squad.

I’d appreciate any views on Calum Hunter Hill, on the bench for sarries tomorrow, if he’s on for any length of time.

According to the Press, the next two weeks are make or break for Leicester Tigers, the Board and the Coach. Lose them, and it seems the poo will really start to fly.

Is this just the press putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 or is there a valid source for this story

England’s latest release is confusing. It states Spencer is a replacement for Heinz but that Heinz still being assessed today.

If we can’t win today (what sort of shape is Wigglesworth in?) then at least a LBP please to get us off the bottom of the table. Given the team currently at the top, the table makes for TERRIBLE viewing... :smt011

I'd guess he's being flown out as injury cover with the expectation of Heinz failing to recover in time and giving Spencer as much time as possible to acclimatise, get over jet lag and learn the play book (as it were).

I'm surprised that they've not replaced Nowell (if he is crocked) - especially with May looking doubtful for next week with that hamstring injury.

Wigglesworth won't be a weakness - a fine kicking scrum half and fit as a fiddle - he won't let them down .

Me thinks we need a win or the mind set of last season will set in and we will be looking for excuses and good players will look poor.Performance is not the priority- the win is.
Agreed - Cherry Whites are a bid strong pack and look the real deal. Do not fancy our chances. They will be top 4. :smt007
