McLean over Williams. Eff me. Granted, I haven’t seen Williams since the last time LI were in the Prem but unless one of his legs has fallen off I’ll stick by eff me.

Williams might be injured. If not, its eff me x2

[Puja]

Over Williams and TBC. Eff me x 3. At this rate, will Irish be missed when they're relegated again?

You can’t poach from your own B team.

See, that puts me in a quandry as to who I want to go down. From a health of English rugby basis, Irish are less stable with using a football ground, incur my inherent bias for bring an Exiles team and not being 100% focussed on England, and appear to be cobbled together out of spare and mostly foreign parts. On the other side, if Irish get relegate, Bath will hoover up the young players, whereas a Worcester relegation could bring Leicester into play. I wouldn't mind having Shillcock at Tigers.

As would most of the Premiership I reckon.
