Doggy presumably being Odogwu?

Hats off to Hislop.  He looked injured for a while before he finally went off on Sunday, and hung in there to protect Nearchou as long as possible.  Potentially played 20-30 minutes with a MCL injury.  That would've been sore!  Just hope he's not done too much longer term damage as a result of his courage.

If Paolo has been training for 3-4 weeks, I'd not be surprised to see him go straight into the side. Question is, where? Hougaard has been fantastic on the wing, Spink has looked solid at 13. Umaga also back.

We've reached a point where selection in the backs starts getting tricky again!

Right at the end of the game, I think Hougaard pulled up, as though he had a hamstring pull?

I'd put Paolo in at 13 outside Mills, with Spink covering from the bench.

No comment about Robson, surprised as he was out on the pitch prior to the team warm up running drills and taking box kicks on Sunday.

I think I’d start Mills and Spink. Odogwu to arrive off the bench amongst tired French juggernauts.

We can look forward to having arguments about who to select for games rather than lamenting the fact that so many people are still injured.

Sure West will be good to go for a long shift and then Zac gets a crack at another massive front row and pack.

What a trooper Hislop is for going so long with that injury but wonder if the coaches now regret asking him to do so.

I’m not sure Umaga comes straight back in, it’s his fault he was unavailable and Charlie has been growing better again so deserves to keep the place for me.
Sure everyone will want to play this one but I fear this might be one game too far for Barbeary and Spink and don’t want them getting injured again against a very physical side

Providing no more injuries in the HC matches, the squad for the EAs game will possibly the strongest one that we could put out, so far, this season.

Looking forward to watching this weekend's match. (and seeing a possible reunion with our old boy).

No Antoine Dupont, Julien Marchand, Charlie Faumuina or Rory Arnold for Toulouse (https://twitter.com/pauleddison/status/1481609845371506692?t=GkDlZ7QVJGT_PbkpJDKu8w&s=08)

Would like to hear a date soon about Jack, next month will be a year. Can’t help being slightly negative on his return.
