Why no Heyes? He played well again today. I suspect that van Wyk and Leatigaga might not be fit hence Whitcombe on the bench today.
I'd like to see Kelly get a game off to refresh.

With two wins already and Borthwick having shown he often likes to rotate for Away European games (and prioritise the league)
So I think the focus will be giving some of the guys who look tired some time off, Wells especially has put in some shifts recently and looks like he may need a breather.
I expect a much changed team, but even so I expect Borthwick to pick a team he thinks can go there and produce the goods

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

I guess there's two ways to look at this fixture, either we go all guns blazing to return to winning ways or we rotate players to give others a chance of game time, either will do for me. Some players probably need a rest or perhaps on the bench, some players have played a lot of minutes and will be needed during the 6 Nations period. Connacht are a tough side at home, depends on our priorities, not done the maths on what results we need to progress to the knockouts.

Having shown us his versatility I think we should maybe reward Kini with a start at 15? He's only started the prem cup games for us this season so think he could do with a run out in his preferred position.

Being selected at 15 in mid-January - at the wildest, windiest pro rugby ground on the planet?

Agreed! Binding on to a warm, sweaty scrum may be favouritechris111 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 8:54 pmBeing selected at 15 in mid-January - at the wildest, windiest pro rugby ground on the planet?

I quite like the look of Raging Bull's selection, maybe JVP who I thought showed signs of needing more game time in the squad instead of either Youngs or Wiggy.

Going to be interesting. We’ve got plenty of forwards in need of a rest like Wells and Reffell. On the flipside we’ve plenty of backs in need of game time. I’d go for.
