Thomas Young's nose? 15 stitches? Bah, I had 21 in mine. It was split in twain

We're currently getting by with 2 Lh's and from the article it doesn't look like ZuZu will be back soon.. and who knows with Si Mac 

Wasn't he due to see a specialist?

[Neils]

Yep and agree I think he is nearing the end unfortunately. Better news at lock though.

From the injury news, it would be a huge bonus if Will Rowlands, James Gaskell and Brad Shields were at least possible for the next Premiership game. Would up the leader count too

Perhaps we can put a lot of 2019 behind us?

No mention of Tibo? Is that because he's not part of the senior squad? He wasn't part of the A team squad either?

[W2APS]

If he's got what Lima had then he shouldn't be long.

I don't think illness comes into the injury update.

It did in Sopoaga’s case.

I thought Tibo was initially ruled out (3 or 4 games ago) due to concussion?

Is he still suffering from that?

No concussion reported as cleared. Pick for Bristol game but fallen ill. Probably the infection rolling around the club just now.

Would you pick Shields over Willis, Sione, Young and Nemo? Let alone Ash. I wouldn't

Not at the moment but it would be very nice to have him fit and at least available for benching plus Jack probably going to be Eddied.

It's hard to work out the back row pecking order, and No8 may vary depending on the opposition.

For me, it's something like

6. J.Willis, Shields, Johnson
7. Young, J.Willis, Carr
8. Carr, Vailanu, T.Willis

There's also Morris and probably some others I can't think of

It's hard to believe that Ash is 3rd choice and likely doesn't feature on the bench when all are fit

Rossm: perhaps you just have a bigger nose than Thomas?!

[Raggs]

Shields was looking very good before he was injured.
