‘Illness’ not injury

Missed that, cheers!

Not sure how serious the Van Wyk injury is, but it further hits our depleted prop ranks.

Whilst not the side of our shortage, Richardson may have been the next LH, fortunately both Van Der Flier & Miell seem to be looking pretty good so not terrible news but certainly want Van Wyk back by the return of the league.

personally I think Whitcombe is better anyway

Good news. A pack with Genge, Martin, and Roots is getting back to where we need to be.

Targeting the Scotland game for Martin

He's not in the squad for the Wales game so training only this week. As you say, hopefully back for the Scotland game. Based on the game Vs Italy we are lacking a little bit of physicality up front.

Simmons' IG account suggests he had eye surgery last week.

Saw that, massive shame for him

Does anyone know the latest on where Watson is at, could he possibly play v Ealing?

Does anyone know the latest on where Watson is at, could he possibly play v Ealing?

Probably not eligible given he wasn't a Tigers player during the group stages so would need an exemption to be allowed to play even if he was back fit.

[GB72]

As they are not in the squad v Scotland, I suspect that the next hint we will see as to where Watson and JVP are is if they are recruited in to the England A side for some game time next week. I suspect not and there have not even been any rumours of when Watson may return.

Reffell fit to start for Wales.

Reffell fit to start for Wales.

He’s been quality this Six Nations, best 7 in the tournament. Always thought he was purely a defensive player but he’s got a great offloading game now too.

Quotes from McKellar on fitness

Simmons:

He's progressing but at this point, we're just making sure he's getting the best care available.

Dolly:

Dolly should be back available for
selection shortly.

Porter:

Porter is coming back from concussion, so hopefully he'll be able to do some contact work today.
