The one rotation I'd be most tempeted by is Kata rested for Cokanasiga (unless one of Scott or Porter is close)
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

We've got three games before a good chunk of the squad can be rested if required. We might have to a bit easy on those that are likely to play a lot in the 6N otherwise we need to go pretty strong. Some good results here could benefit us considerably.

Mckellar has been quoted as saying that a number of the injured players should return this weekend

IMO that wouldn’t be wise up against Jonathan Dante

Agreed. Plus after this run of three games Kata can have plenty of time off to rest up whilst the 6N is on. We have a friendly and one (possibly two) PRC games and that's it for iirc nearly two months. For the PRC we might have a look at Woodward.

As it's my birthday on Sunday, I'm hoping for a little present from Tigers in the form of an away win. I had considered travelling over to La Rochelle, but the costs mounted up and so I'm opting to watch on TV. C'mon you Tigers!

I'm delighted to read that the match is being shown on France2, a terrestrial non paying channel, so I've booked my seat next to the fire and will have a couple of bottles of Pedigree!!
