If our training ground can be re-opened and two London-based clubs can actually get teams together (!) then we are scheduled this Sunday to actually play a game for the first time since Pau in the Challenge Cup.
Seems very much as we will be facing a rest v rust situation. Any niggles may have cleared up in some players but they've not trained together for 2 weeks. Could be almost pre-season in its feel.
However I wonder if we will see Simmons in the mix given this break allows him to recuperate from the Rugby Championship? Could we see starting the following?;
1 Dell
2 Creevy
3 Kepu
4 Nott
5 Mahu / Mafi
6 Rogerson
7 Cowan
8 Tuisue
9 Meehan
10 Jackson
11 Parton (assume Loader still out)
12 Meakes
13 Rona
14 Hassell-Collins
15 Homer
I'm assuming Coleman and or Simmons would bench rather than be thrown straight in.
