Half the players have burns. Totally ridiculous that these pitches are used.

[Shugs]

Agreed. It’s outrageous. What state must those who have it as there home ground be in.

I've been wondering about the team to face Sale. After 2 very intense games with only 6 day turn arounds would there be a need to rest some players or do the coaches just need to throw the best team in as its a must win game?

I suppose some of those injuries will now be part of that thinking. From what Lee says they might not be able to play even though they're not the usual types of injuries.

Lee says in that article "it won't affect selection"

It has to be as strong a team as possible because we are unlikely to get too many points in Leicester.

Hmm, senior moment while reading.

London Irish had to play last night in a Cup Final.
High intensity.
The conceded a converted try in the 84th minute (normal time).
They had to play extra-time.
And they lost by missing 4 consecutive kicks at goal to win it in extra-time.
They must be feeling it.

They play their final game away at Bath on Saturday, who will be desperately keen to put in a winning performance in front of their home crowd.
Anthony Watson and Max Ojomoh may return.
And who knows, you might have older Joseph against younger Joseph. 

But I really hope Bath can do us a favour on Saturday. Irish will surely be feeling it a bit in their legs.

And possibly also mentally down as they lost, when they could have won.

I’d like to see Hougaard off the wing for Odogwu and T Willis at 8. Can’t see there being that many changes. Big calls at 12 and 13.

Personally would like to see Mills at 12 and Fekitoa for the first 45ish minutes then Spink.

I just can't see its a good idea not to play Alfie but again would like Tom getting about 30 minutes, not 10.

Paolo worries me as he hasn't played well for a while, so not sure how it would play out.

No idea at 15, maybe Alfie
