quick return for Ford!

[Mikey Brown]

I guess he’s only played about 10 minutes in the last few weeks.

[FKAS]

I suspect different clubs will have different approaches to player welfare. I see Skivington has said the world cup players will not be rushed back and Tigers have said theirs won't be back for this weekend (the semi finalists). Sarries have hinted some of theirs may return this weekend. Level of cover and minutes played likely to have an impact I'd have thought.

Good to see Ben Curry back.

Yep. The only bit of him that might ache is his arse from spending so long sitting on the bench.

[Gloskarlos]

Fear another men v boys result here. Good to see VRR back finally. Never a happy hunting ground for Glos, any kind of BP would be good.

Not playing:
Carreras
Evans
May
Thorley
S Atkinson
LRZ
Hastings
Varney
JFR
Vivas
McGuigan
Balmain
Clarke
Alemanno
Ackermann
Ludlow
Mercer

Some of these are injured, others returning from WC, but some just not selected. GS has stated he will be rotating the squad a lot this season, looks like that is what is happening here.

[Epaminondas Pules]

Really impressed by Arthur Clark. For a 21 year old he looks really good!

Well, he was born in 2001...

Just don't let him meet Hal.
