Watson, Gaby, JdJ all involved

Hardly a surprise, but the latest youtube video seems to strongly suggest they're all involved in the 23.  Doesn't actually make the 12 shirt any clearer though, as it could easily be the two new centres on the bench if Gopps starts at 12.

As a surprise, we may see WLR in at 15, with Wade and Watson as the back three.

I am expecting to see Robson, Cipriani and Lovobalavu as 9, 10 and 12. No Daly, so 13 I am uncertain of. My heart says Macken, my brain says Juan de Jongh. 3 backs replacements, being Simpson to cover 9, Gopperth to cover 10 and 12 and maybe Miller to cover FB. That would give enough players on the pitch who are capable of being utility backs to shuffle the deck with if needed.

That means no place for Basset or Macken. If WLR doesn't start, then Miller would. If WLR can't be on the bench, that slot might go to Macken.

Watson covered 15 for a bit against Connacht I believe. So maybe Bassett on the bench.

Good point.
