From what I’ve read/remember. Mako is ahead of schedule and will there or thereabouts for first match. Slade has been days away from recovering for weeks. Nowell aggravated his injury the last time they were in Treviso and then had an appendectomy. He was touch and go for the opening two matches before the set backs. Mitchell has said they will give him as long as possible as he is so important. No idea on Joseph.

So they hold Nowell in place, yet have no 3rd scrum half or tighthead. Methinks someone needs to have a chat on priorities.

Yep. You can only gather from that that Cokanasiga’s lack of scrappiness and work over the ball is more of a worry than having any cover at all for SH/TH.

Prince Ludwig: Forgive me, Herr Blackadder... I have been neglecting my duties as a host. Please accept my apple-ogies.
Blackadder: I accept nothing from a man who imprisons his guests in a commode.
Prince Ludwig: I hope this scum has not inconweenienced you.
Edmund: It takes more than a maniac trying to cut off my goolies to inconweenience me.
Prince Ludwig: Good. If he had inconweenienced you, I was going to offer you his tongue.
Blackadder: Believe me, sir: if he had inconweeniened me, you would not have a tongue with which to make such an offer.
Prince Ludwig: Let me assure you, Herr Blackadder: if I no longer had a tongue with which to make such an offer, you would no longer have a tongue with which to tell me that, if I had inconweenienced you, I would no longer have a tongue with which to offer you his tongue.
Edmund: Yes, well, enough of this banter. Who the hell are you, sausage breath?

JJ is (allegedly) just muscle soreness; could have played if necessary

Haha. Tuned in just in time for that hilarious bit of skill from Faz. Has this game been as shit as the score would suggest? Every time I've flicked it on everyone has just been stood around a collapsed scrum.

Nice that Barnes mentioned Watson failing to take a difficult high ball in contact rather than Faz kicking out on the full

Wilson gained several extra yards of pace by wearing that 7 jersey.

Very undecided on Wilson Curry or Curry Underhill as our best flankers
