Taufete to start for me - Clare put in a massive shift yesterday and we could do with another carrier in the pack.
I’m hoping Burns will be back, even off the bench will be massive.
Think with the new HIA rules he needs a minimum of 8 days off after a failed HIA so there's no chance of playing.
Have you got a good link for those (I can't find one)? From what I can find its 12 days for concussion (diagnosed concussion I presume), but provisions are available for those who've failed HIA but with limited symptoms, history etc.

Found this.. there's a return to play guidelines download link.
There is a senario that says 7 days, but worth noting it all starts with "confirmed concussion"
Is a failed HIA a confirmed concussion?
I don't think so, as this was the issue surrounding Sexton in NZ, he failed one of the assessment's but then passed the others and played the following week.

That was prior to the new rules being in place
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Well a confirmed concussion can only really happen after a player has done the HIA3 (36-48 hours post-head impact event) so I would have surely thought that that would that be considered the time from which the rest period starts. Which would for sure mean that they will miss the next weekends game.

Borthwick has said we are observing the 10 week rest period and I'm glad he has. This bringing players back early smacks of desperation and shows a lack of care over the players. I'd much rather our England guys are given an extra week rather than rushed back for a game Vs Falcons. The season is long.
This weekend isn't rushing them back. They've been in full training for 5(?) weeks and the 10 week period will have expired. Why penalise yourself unnecessarily when you could only have the England players available for half the league matches anyway.
10 weeks makes the available for match week 3.
Ah yes. Apologies. I'd been thinking (all summer!) that the 10 weeks expired at lunchtime on the 17th September, but you're correct, it's lunchtime on the 24th. Back to school for me then!

I'm not sure an HIA is a confirmed concussion. All a failed HIA confirms is that you've failed the HIA, which isn't a medical diagnosis. Confirmed concussion surely can only be confirmed afterwards.
I'm wary of trusting the validity and currency of anything on the World Rugby site. Which is awkward, for them, as I can't be the only one!
We lacked go forward last week so it'd be brilliant to have a front row bench of Nephi, Taufete'e and Heyes to fire on.
Watson returning would be a big boost to balance in the back three.
Having Porter back in the midfield with Scott would be ideal but if he's seeing out the full 10 week rest period then I think Cokanasiga has impressed enough to deserve a shot there.
Steve Borthwick has named the Leicester Tigers matchday squad for the club’s first home game of the 2022/23 Gallagher Premiership season.
Tigers take on Newcastle Falcons at Mattioli Woods Welford Road on Saturday, September 17 in Round 2.
