Gigena is unavailable for the next few weeks due to visa issues according to Adam Whitty on Twitter.

Not great timing if so. Facundo has been in good form and would have been pushing Bateman for the starting shirt this weekend.

I expect we will see Leatigaga covering LH on the bench.

Or the immediate introduction of young Capps.

When the fringe pros at Glasgow and Edinburgh got drafted to Super 6 sides Sam Grahamslaw was in more demand than Capps. I rate Grahamslaw very highly and was frustrated when Glasgow got him so that's not meant to be knocking Capps but he's not played much top tier rugby so isn't that far through his development.

I'd rather Keston Lines or James Whitecombe get the opportunity to be honest. Whitecombe is the same age that Heyes was when he came off the bench against Saints in the Prem.

It would be nice if we picked a balanced back row this week. ( Kali, Taufua, Reffell)

Leibenberg to wear the 19 shirt, Lewis 20.

Anyone else wondering if the weather forecast may see this fixture postponed? We have our ST's but we have friends who are wondering if they should come to the game given the forecasts...its not looking at all good.

Come hell or high water (most likely to be high water from what I hear!), I'll be on the terrace!!

I'm taking a snorkel to breath with and an anchor to stay put, but I'll be there. With a big southerly forecast, I reckon the terrace will still get wet from the eddying wind and the front rows on the members stand (and, yes, I still call it that) may have to put in some catching practice!
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….

I know nothing about the others but Karl Dickson is a good referee and will have a tier one Test match before long( he’ll be an assistant ref at Cardiff next week for the Wales v France game).
