Team announcement came with an injury update:
Dave Attwood, Dan Bowden, Chris Cook, Kyle Eastmond, Max Lahiff, Francois Louw, Kane Palma-Newport (Senior Team)
Darren Atkins, Rory Jennings, Brett Herron, Max Northcote-Green, Tom Woolstencroft (Academy)

So our 35 man squad has managed to produce a 23 man team, with 7 injuries and 6 away on international duty.
Still no place on the bench for Catt though.

There may be trouble ahead.

Wuss must fancy their chances.

Wuss must fancy their chances.

I think they have to if they're going to stay up. They must be targetting games like this against weakened sides, at home.

Quite a test or young Hastings at 10. He looked a very tidy player last week for Scotland u20s. This is a step up though.

Bath do look very vulnerable.

He can't be any worse.

After that dirge in France looks like some good rugby in the AP.

Wuss ahead and Saints giving LI a going over.

Oh, and Quins in strife

[fivepointer]

Bath now ahead 16-14

Good win by Sale earlier.

How's Hastings v Heathcote?

[Which Tyler]

Neither really got into it properly; but Heathcote "won" that personal battle, though far less handicapped by his SH. His calm head was exactly what Wuss needed and had a hand in both Wuss tries (though more through seeing the bloody obvious, rather than anything he did specifically)

It was Matawalu that nearly lost us the match.

[Big D]

I was a bit worried for Hastings based on who the 9 was. Still, 1st start (?) and 1st win, even if he wasn't a stand out will do a young 10 good.

Wuss have just announced they have signed Springbok Francois Hougaard
Should hopefully be enough to make the difference in tight games

Here's hoping. Think it's a position of weakness for us currently

Also don't want to put it down to just not being good enough but something isn't quite clicking lately - we're playing well in very small patches, but we go missing for large parts of games
