20. Earl *a different role

Given that we're playing a 10 man game and Swollen Bunting is likely to keep with Farrell @ FH (meaning the backs won't see the ball very often) - maybe Earls could play on the wing? It's not like he's going to mess up all of our silky running rugby. He's quite quick and it effectively gives us an extra forward...

He's off to France and he and Borthwick have fallen out. Plus he has a chronic bad back and can't train much.

Where has that come from?

Suppose Soapy Bubble adhering to his win selection thing with Manu over Lawrence (just), but the latter needs a run to build his confidence if nowt else.

I should think Martin was a bit battered.

Martin has a knee injury according to the Leicester website.
