Right then, Worcester first up. What kind of team are we expecting to see? The first half team against Connacht, or something slightly different? Given they didn't travel this weekend, I'm guessing van Rensburg, Mafi, Loader and Munga won't be available.
If I had to guess, I think we'll be unchanged, with a 23 something like:
15 Tom Parton, 14 Kyle Rowe, 13 Curtis Rona, 12 Terrence Hepetema , 11 Ollie Hassell-Collins, 10 Paddy Jackson, 9 Nick Phipps, 1 Will Goodrick-Clarke, 2 Agustin Creevy, 3 Marcel van der Merwe, 4 Rob Simmons, 5 Adam Coleman, 6 Matt Rogerson(c), 7 Ben Donnell, 8 Albert Tuisue.
Willemse, Dell, Hoskins, Nott, SOB, White, Jennings, Williams
There are some interesting calls though. In the back row and argument could definitely be made for Donnell at 6 and SOB at 7 (or indeed SOB just swapping places with Donnell). Centre as well. Whilst I think they'll stick with the tried and trusted pair (and you'd struggle to ever drop Rona), both Williams and Cokanasiga looked very sharp. Think Rowe will ge the nod on the right if Loader was out. He never really got away, but I really liked what I saw of him. Quick, agile, powerful for his size and a good all round skillset. Got a feeling he'll be a very shrewd signing.
