Can't get enough of Dowesy at the moment

I think we should go with 2 props on the bench, all respect to Celtic, I think it's a differnt ball game asking Dowes to work overtime against Catalan, could do him more harm than good.
Having Maloney on in 10/15 min spells wont hurt him and would be a good test for him and I think he'll give it a good go.

Bench
Thacks
Manu
Maloney
Houghton

I think we need to play a forward heavey bench against a big Catalan side. Just one spot for someone to cover hooker and in the backs. With Whiting still out I would have to go with Tommy Lee because of his versatility.

Play him 80 mins if he keeps the recent performances up. He's done it before!

with dowes being more fitter he can play longer so we might only need one prop but i would put king or maloney just in case

Agree with you danny but I think Lee will be a bit of insurance for agar in case Hall doesn't work out as he can cover more positions (hooker / 6 or 7 etc) if the team needs to be changed round

Lee could cover 13 to move tickle into the second row and radford to prop if needed.
