Same team as last week, Blythe out, Woody in.

I agree, I think that team picks itself really. Strong side with only Louis and Joel missing.



Grix started at second-row last week but I much prefer him at 13



One of Cooper / Solomona will probably play interchange back-row.

I'd go with that, good strong side.

When the team comes out, i always look for the comments regarding the 2 that miss out, it's usually Clarke and -



Seems not this week

Clarke and Blythe





In all seriousness, I'm sure Clarke will get a game one week when one of Higham / Monaghan gets injured or rested.

Grix had a blinder last week in the second row, I'd leave him there and play Harrison at loose. To be honest I reckon TS will do that as he seems intent on using BenH as an extra prop at 13.

But knowing Royston, he might throw Armstrong on the bench in place of Magennis. All depends on whether Scott Moore has been a good boy this week, I really don't know what the deal is with him.

Only Pryce, Shenton, Gardner, Clough and Wheeler missing this week. Probably the closest we've come to a first choice team all season.
