We're unbelievably screwed if we don't get a number of injuries back

Think, as it stands, between England and Injury, we're without:
Rodd, McIntyre, Harrison, LCD, Wiese, JLdP, Hill, Ellis, EvR, B.Curry, T.Curry, DdP, Ford, Roebuck, Tuilagi, Doherty, L.James, O'Flaherty, Carpenter

Borthwick takes Genge, and no-one else.
Gives Genge back.


Borthwick takes Obano and Stuart and Underhill and Spencer and Lawrence.
Breaks Lawrence, and takes Ojomoh and Muir as compensation.


And I wish them all the very best, and look forward to seeing what the understudies can do.

Tigers without our 3 senior TH by the looks of it

Heyes and Cole with England and Hurd out injured

Do you know what would solve this? Having a squad cap.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Oh bother

Never heard of your 3, and Hatherell at 5 is sketchy, but other than that that's pretty good isn't it? Considering it's international season

Plus while Hatherell at 5 seems sketchy at first glance they must be fairly confident about him playing there since they're starting him over Carter.

3 is our 4th choice Loosehead lol

Asher vibes, maybe he'll follow the same trajectory

Errrr he's 27 years old that we signed as LH depth a few ago


Hoyt prob would have gotten a start if not for him just coming back from a year long injury pretty much

LH at TH

10 at 15

15 at 14.

If Youngs wasn't on the bench I'd have thought Eddie Jones had joined the coaching staff on the quiet.

Saw the other day that Hoyt has been playing pretty exclusively at 6 and 8 for the Champ team he's been turning out for (forgotten which). Can't be great for his tighthead development.

Harsh - he's still more of a FB than FH

Pretty sure different player.

He only came back last week and was playing nat 1 Leicester lions

Fair play, I'll stand corrected.

I couldn't recall seeing him play anywhere other than 10, but I was pretty indifferent to Warriors and seldom watched their matches. Didn't actively dislike them or anything, just felt they existed to no particular purpose or ambition. That will also sound harsh but just how I felt.

Standing my corner a bit though he has played 10 every time I've seen him live. I think a sample size of one is pretty reasonable?

 

[Al Bangor]

over Sale. Am I insane? Quite possibly.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wasn't expecting so many injury returnees, very happy with that

Sale Sharks Starting XV:

15. Joe Carpenter, 14. Telusa Veainu, 13. Sam James, 12. Sam Bedlow, 11. Arron Reed, 10. Rob du Preez, 9. Gus Warr, 1. Si McIntyre, 2. Agustin Creevy, 3. James Harper, 4. Cobus Wiese, 5. Josh Beaumont, 6. Ernst van Rhyn, 7. Sam Dugdale, 8. Dan du Preez.

Replacements:

16. Tommy Taylor, 17. Tumy Onasanya, 18. Asher Opoku-Fordjour, 19. Ben Bamber, 20. Rouban Birch, 21. Nye Thomas, 22. Tom Curtis, 23. Rekeiti Ma'asi-White.


Edit: Keeping with tradition Sale initially posted the wrong team sheet - Schonert actually starts with Harper on the bench. Asher with the u20s, maybe?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Whitcombe on the bench and Van Wyk out for tigers

 

[Reiser99]

Whiteley's passing has been a bit shocking so far.
