Who’s in? Waiting for that phone Call – Ashton!
O’Sullivans concern will be to get O’Driscoll and Stringer fit for a week today. Brian Ashton however will be sat next to his telephone tonight, willing it not to ring as 15 of his match squad of 22 are in Premiership action this weekend.
Here’s the status of the players:
- Tindall,
OUT – Not recovered from dead leg. - Wilkinson,
OUT – Reported unfit by Newcastle - Vickery,
OUT – Part of his management programme due to his back operations. - Ellis,
IN, On the Bench (Howard says this is rotational rather then bowing to Ashton, Murphy and two other internationals for other countries are on the bench for Leicester as well). - Grewcock,
IN, Will play for Bath against London Irish. - Farrell & Morgan,
IN, against each other as Saracens take on Gloucester. - Lewsey, Worsley, Robinson, Lund,
IN, will feature in the Wasps’ game with Sale.
