Wonder if Fisilau's injured?

Puja

Fisilau must be injured. Far too valuable a player to be dropped. Woodburn pressed into service at 13. He'll find it a lot tougher to defend there against Saints.
The IFW/BPP double act on the wing could be worth watching.

This is a few days old, but no mention of Fisilau:

Could just be illness with Fisilau. This time of year plenty of viruses going round.

Don't know why Ramm is starting over Sleightholme, but both back 3s going at it should hopefully be a good watch. Pack should go better with two locks and Augustus at 8.

Weird on the wings
