Be interesting to see the 21 man squad. It may be a chance for some fringe players to lay down a marker and try and challenge for a spot in the team.

Quite a daunting prospect, especially if our non jabbed players are forwards ?

On the plus side, really, it's a free hit.
Not too much expected so, lets try and have a good dig.

Hope any unvaccinated players aren’t getting paid this weekend. Am quite impressed with the French attitude on this and wish the British authorities had followed suit

I hope they are getting paid. At the time of signing contracts entry for unvaccinated players was possible so it’s not the players fault and you shouldn’t be able to bully them into being vaccinated or losing a wage. They were able to play until France changed their stance.

Any contracts going forward and agreed after that’s another matter and I would imagine will be taken into consideration.

Of course it doesn’t help them trinity on the pitch this coming weekend but we just have to get on with it.

Stand by my original comments , players have had plenty of time to be vaccinated . Cannot understand why any rational healthy person wouldn’t have the vaccine.

Currently am self isolating and there is a decent probability I picked it up at the game if it’s correct that about a quarter of the staring squad are unvaccinated think I m probably safer watching on tv

I understand your sentiments.
However, if you sign a contract and the terms of that contract can be changed mid term, without any renegotiation, on point of principle, how can that be right.
Just as the NHS had to backtrack, this has to be an individual choice and I say this as someone who is vaccinated and boosted.

How do you know Gaskell won't be available?
