i would expect washbrook to interchange with houghton, prob go with same starting line up apart from obst for long, bring in radford for westerman and keep dowes in as we need to muscle up against a strong wire pack

I'd have Washy as the back row interchange, letting him play the traditional loose man role from the second row, as Westerman does for us, and then move to hooker for 10 minutes to give Houghton a short rest.

Would also start Dowes or Radders instead of Moa, as I feel we'd be a bit light off the bench starting both Ogre and Moa with those two coming off the bench.

Would rather have rested a few more and brought a couple of young lads in Green/Cunningham/Kent/Aldous

Me too.

I would have expected more changes but the 19 man squad doesn't seem to mean much these days so I would expect further changes. Lynn and Sharp to come in, Turner at 6 with Obst. I wouldn't have thought they wanted Gleeson to play back to back, especially after taking some knocks yesterday.

play your best team that you have available.

Me three. Gutted Westerman is out, didn't really want Fitz backing up.
Not sure if Gleeson is going to be up for it either, hopefully with it being a former club he'll get by.
I just hope the likes of O'Meley and Moa are rehabilitated properly today and tomorrow, both played big minutes yesterday and could risk muscular injuries.

same team for me, turner on bench aswell for dowes

no point playing the best if they are bust though and risk losing the Saints game too
