I don’t think Austin will play - mind games maybe?

Not really his style though. He's been happy to name 19 man squads in previous weeks so maybe he did unexpectedly well in training. Fingers crossed.

It’s an odd one, maybe Austin has just put his hand up to play, but then playing unfit players doesn’t seem Smiths style either

I could be wrong but I feel like Rohan has all but ruled players out previously and then they have been named in the squad and played.

Yep. Suppose we have reached the point where there are no more next weeks and players will just want to play. Pleased to see Smith and Donaldson back in any case.

Think they've got a few missing.
No half backs. Richardson and Trueman out.
Watts suspended.
We really should not be losing this.

One of the strongest looking 17s (on paper) we've put out this year.

Agree. Stuck at home with Covid today and will be watching Channel 4, not that smug bunch of "pundits" on SKY.

Is Walter’s injured? Strong starting 13 but no props on the bench is a worry
