Team v Quins?

[Shugs]

Isn't that fairly standard? They'll then spend the week working on systems, set piece, general tactics etc as a team.

[hookender]

Might have an idea in your head as to squad ,but considering these interesting times just seemed a bit early. Do we train on a Monday? I know they go in to be tested , but would have thought they might wait for results back before training.

Our new recruit from Georgia could prove to be a very useful acquisition. I would hope that he gets his opportunity to showcase his talents, sooner rather than later.

Even without those injured/ international duty players, I still fancy us to do better than average across the next six matches.

Do we still have the Cornish Pirate Caulfield?

Injury update

So reading that I'd say De Jongh carries on at 13 with Jimmy at 12. Kibirige for Odogwu.

[Bloke in North Dorset]

I like this:

Better news for Wasps comes in the form of winger Zach Kibirige, who has missed the last two games after being knocked out away at Sale Sharks.

"The two-week break came at a good time for him," said Blackett. "He passed everything a long time ago but it just didn't sit right with everyone at the club to just put him back two weeks after that injury.

"Now he is a few more weeks down the line and he is absolutely fine. He is back in full training now for the past four weeks."

The way he was laid out its hard to believe he would have been safe to play after 2 weeks no matter what the protocols say.

Lasha flew to England before the end of last year. I believe he finished quarantine on the day his signing was announced.

Cheers, 8th January I think that was announced (on a quick google search), so he'll have been with us 3 weeks by the game. Could be enough if he's training out of his skin, but I guess more likely that he'll have to wait another couple of weeks.

I was going to correct you, but I stand corrected. He is actually an immediate signing, I had absolutely no idea and assumed he was for next season, well spotted.

[Peej]

Think we're light at second row, and until Fekitoa is back we have lost a bit of game breaking. Juan won't let us down, but he won't have that same danger factor to maybe created space outside

[Heathen]

So potentially it could who plays at lock with Jamma as the only ?

Big Mac, Cruse, Brookes, Jamma, ?, Willis, Young, Shields

Porter, Umaga

Bassett, Gopperth, de Jong, Kibirige

Sopaga

Harris, Taylor, JTA, ?, Willis Vellacott, Atkinson, MLB

[Shugs]

I think it will be Cardall starting with Douglas on the bench.

[Neils]

Jack now gone for two months. More upheaval.

[Shugs]

What's been good about this squad since lockdown is that in adversity people have stood up and made their mark when needed. Hopefully this will be the same. Any team is going to miss Launchbury, Rowlands, West, Willis, Robson and Odogwu but the guys likely to come in look good enough to take their chance.

Yes you hope they can keep it going. Praying for no more injuries

[Shugs]

Yes, that's the key isn't it. Injuries in a couple of key positions (lock, 12, and we're struggling.
