f%~k? hope it's nothing too serious for Doris, we're down to bare bones at 8.

Happy for Murphy though, his performances this year deserve a Euro start. Does unbalance the backrow a bit will give our lineout and maul a bit more.

Possibly second thoughts also about the original 6:2 split given the Saints selection & our own limitations in covering all positions. Hope Doris has nothing serious but Murphy really desearves a run.

Yep agree with that! He'll be buzzing and won't let anyone down. Delighted for him

Excited to see how much quick ball that backrow can give the backline. Between JGP, HB, Ringer and JOB we've playmakers galore now.

Weather looks ok too, hopefully we'll get some space to play.

Didn't look great, innocuous enough thing, hitting a tackle bag.

Ah for f%~k sake.

That's a sickener.

Assume we have someone else on the bench?

My word, we are carving them open at will right now. They can’t deal with our ruck speed and offloading at the moment.

No the wind is really bad in SoCoDu. Think we’re coping quite well with it though.

I can only think that they thought they could win a penalty? Stupid anyway.

No HB, no JOB and looks like no Ringrose. Now a try for Northampton. Yeah this has the feeling of a banana skin alright
