Back to back starts for Spencer is good. I hope he can perform and keep his spot once Wigglesworthless is back.

Interesting that Fazlet's captain ahead of Itoje. Wouldn't've picked that. I thought Kruis was supposed to be out for longer, so it's good to see him back too.

Glad that Charnley's getting game time again - I'm very much interested in whether he can transfer his skills across, but I think this is the make-or-break season.

Limping, looked like knee. Not usually great news if thats the case but who knows

[Mellsblue]

Should've stretched.

Just seen it, doesn't look great. Would put money on him being out for a while.
