What exactly is the injury to Ford? Also wondering when we will see Mamukusvilli make a match day squad

Re: Team vs Saints
With Mamukusvilli, think it was GM that said they were taking a super cautious approach with player fitness and availability, especially in the front row due to the various strains on the bodyJimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 2:02 pm is Hardwick injured?

Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Re: Team vs Saints
Tom Youngs , I believe, has played well since Re - Start.He will also bring fire ,drive and competitiveness to the side.I welcome his inclusion on this occasion.

Re: Team vs Saints
Cant fault OTY since the return, whether he should be the onfield captain is another matter, but in that XV probably the least worse option.
Never got this playing a lock at 6, but with Reffell & Brink not available Taufua on bench is the best option there for balance, but we loose on the run on XV.

To win is not as important as playing with style!
Re: Team vs Saints
Really excited to see Murimurivalu in the side, and Porter and Henry with the 1st team - they've both earned the opportunity. Taufua seems to sometimes have a bigger impact off the bench and has played quite a lot already. Tom Youngs has been really good and is clearly our best hooker at the moment. I think Liebenberg is at his best at 8.
Hoping for a win.

Re: Team vs Saints
Have a bad feeling about Sunday. Saints past form meanings nothing going into the derby. I do like the look of our XV, plus we have some power to come off the bench.

Re: Team vs Saints
There is also the fact this is the first time post restart saints are playing a ‘1st XV’ before they were the only side mixing it up.Leicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 11:24 pm Have a bad feeling about Sunday.

I’m a fan of Porter but think they will really look to target him in that 13 channel as can get out of position in defence - they would have targeted Taute for his lack of pace so probably right selection.
Particularly looking forward to seeing Murimurivalu play and hoping for a win but not expecting one.

Re: Team vs Saints
As with every game , hoping for the win ( although in terms of the season it matters very little) and carry with me a fair degree of optimism for Sunday.

Concerned about not having Ford at 10. I hope I am wrong.

Re: Team vs Saints
Agreed. I hold my hand up....I thought Kerr would come through and take the 2 jersey. He still might. Borthwick’s attention to detail seems to have paid dividends and you can’t fault Tom for effort and energy. We seem to be setting up and getting the ball in quicker. Green is also key to this.

Re: Team vs Saints
What is really pleasing to see is that in my eyes at least the coaching team really seem to be rewarding form more than previous years, even if they are playing in thrashings if they are showing potential in the games they will get game time.
