Is he fit? If Will Evans is fit then there must be a temptation to bring him onto the bench against Wasps who are so competitive at the breakdown.
We don't know what the state of play is at training. He could be pulling up trees this week for all we know. Reffell played plenty of preseason and played pretty well, I'd quite like to see him involved.

Re: Wasps Vs Tigers
To be honest, not EXPECTING a win but if we persist with "we're gonna score one more than you" rugby, who knows?
Stingray rugby the old man calls it "Anything could happen in the next half hour".
Remy poised. Fingers crossed.

Re: Wasps Vs Tigers
Good XV, pity Eastmond couldn’t make it. Both teams don’t have the best of benches with injuries so should be interesting.
Guessing Reffell is injured as would have thought he would have made the bench over Lewis which is a shame. Never know Lewis could be pulling up trees in training.

Re: Wasps Vs Tigers
I respect Murphy's trust in the younger players something other coaches have not really had.
Big test for some but it can make a player.

Re: Wasps Vs Tigers
Interesting that Murphy is showing the faith in the development squad again, 7/8 bench players are Academy graduates !

Regardless of anything else, a decisive break with MOC by Smurf. Building his team for the future.

Re: Wasps Vs Tigers
If Simmons is fit I'm amazed that White has been preferred ahead of him . Equally puzzled that Hardwick has not been given another go at 12 - did well last week and at least his pairing with tuilagi had a bit of practice . Still , if Owen lasts as long as usual he'll be on fairly soon in the game .

Re: Wasps Vs Tigers
Pleased to see the academy guys get a shout.
We have injuries and the second row is a worry for me as the line out has been frail, and we've no genuine 7. I'm sure Mike can heave in a scrum.
What can't be helped must be endured.
Remy still poised. Finger still crossed.
