Yeah 100% Genge will play. Bristol are only in the Challenge cup, their priority will 100% be on the league. He'll probably miss one of the European games.GB72 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 9:33 amI strongly suspect he will play.

Freddie free to play!!!
Might still be a bench semi-rest situation.

Genge moved his rest games at the start of the season so some of European group games instead of the league games. They had to get RFU consent to do that.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 9:58 amYeah 100% Genge will play. Bristol are only in the Challenge cup, their priority will 100% be on the league.

If Genge is playing. Remember he needs a rest week at some point and Bears have Clermont after us.
Clermont is also a home game and this is an away game for them so it might be a case of putting your best show on at home. Which is what Steve did when he was in charge here.
I'm sure a coach under as much pressure as Lam will a) want to keep the fans happy at home and b) get some silverware in. The recent good run of form has put them back in playoff contention though so you might be right.

Not sure that there is any requirement for rest periods between the end of the Six Nations and end of season. Most of the England players have had two weeks rest and some have played a limited amount of game time.
They belong to the Clubs and should be available for selection for all matches between now and the end of the season with workloads managed accordingly.

I believe he said in an interview he was gone soon but it would be stupid if they weren’t trying to keep him until the end of the season, even if so, it’s still harsh to drop him when he’s been this good for steward, in my opinionScott1 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 4:41 pmThought Brown was gone after the 6N?

Especially if we’re looking to keep brown on for another year, it would not help that if we dropped him even when he’s arguably been our best player throughout the 6 nations period

He gave an interview to the Times where he said he was contracted to the end of the 6N period of games. I imagine he's signed an extension since then.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 1:53 pmAll the rumours I've heard is we signed him initially till the Edinburgh game.Richardfje wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 1:36 pmI believe he said in an interview he was gone soon but it would be stupid if they weren’t trying to keep him until the end of the season, even if so, it’s still harsh to drop him when he’s been this good for steward, in my opinion

I think this is the article you mean, as I read it it says "after the 6 Nations" the only bit where it says two more weeks is the author's words not Brown's, when I read it (and I may be interpreting it wrong) I read it that it was ending soon after the 6N, but that the author didn't know exactly when, which fits with rumours of it being Edinburgh game.
Either way I hope he's extended, but until something is announced or he is playing in a prem final I'm taking nothing for granted about when we have him till.

Would love to see Browny and Freddie in the same back 3. Some serious back field coverage there!
Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Saturday 25th March 2023 - KO 12:30pm
Reading Wiggy’s recent press release regarding his recognition of the extended squad, I think he will keep the faith with the lads who have got us into this potentially great position over recent weeks, they will be inspired by such trust, he should rest the fringe players and use them in the extra games and bench the returning internationals. Personally I would also rest Freddie and let the lad have some time to himself after his stressful week! Brown is on fire regardless
