Lots of proper young talent on display in this one! Prem debut for Forsythe in the offing!

Atkinson looked pretty good last week. Pleasing to see the youngster retained.

Disappointed not to see Pearson continue. He's looked real quality.

Anyone on here know how long Hatherall and Shillcock are out for? Two big losses for Wuss.

What has happened to LI FB Parton? He was looking good in the early part of the season. I think he had an England squad call up at one stage. Injured/dropped/transferred ? Meantime, Stokes has been playing well too.

Likewise Loader - a lovely runner on the wing. Is he just not getting selected?

PCokanasiga is back on the bench for Irish after a very long time out. Hope he goes well!

Parton and Loader both injured. Loader made a comeback and then got injured again.

Was just going to ask about him. Hadn’t seen his name in a while and forgot he had at one point been on the long list of potentials with Williams and Lawrence to offer some Manu-lite power in midfield.

What sort of injury was it?

I think it was a mixture of injuries and family issues, including the government being shitehawks to his father: https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/19145 ... dads-visa/

DVDM gets a three week ban, out of the 6N. Definitely on the harsh side
