my mistake on Wiese, thought that was last week not the week before, that said the man has played a lot of Rugby over the last 2 years so a week off won't hurt him

Heyes now confirmed as released by England. Pretty sure Heyes will be on the bench given our scrum troubles.
Definitely, we could see Leatigaga as bench LH then

Do we know if this may be Nadolo's last home match or will he be around for Clermont and Gloucester. All I remember was that he was leaving in December.

I thought I read that his contract in Australia starts December 3rd so have always had this down as potentially his last home game.
Of course we don’t know if he’ll be picked yet.
Need to give Montoya a rest, the guys been playing non stop for the last 18 months.

Montoya's played a reasonably higher amount of rugby than our other players, around 900 minutes ahead of around 560 for the other ever presents, but Wiese hasn't actually played much more than Liebenberg for instance, only 30 mins more.
Obviously training and travelling on top etc. but not sure Wiese needs more rest than our other players normal levels of rotation.
In terms of Montoya I'd rather rest him during Europe and get two more games out of him now then have 2 off in Europe first two rounds.

I do agree especially if Oghre can be brought up to speed quickly. Wiese is often the back row replaced by the Boks and hasn’t started every game.
