Second 6 nations for Falateu to miss the start ... he has not a lot of luck .. but opportunities for others.

Dammit, was hoping to get away with the 2 months of the original estimate - scan must have shown it to be nastier than exam.

Bollocks. Opportunity for someone else, but still a bugger.

If Moriarty is fit then maybe we'll be ok. If he has another setback then we're really struggling.

Aye, the cupboard is beginning to look a bit bare, James King had his best game at 8 that I've seen for the Os last weekend, but he picked up an injury unfortunately.

Yes iI would wish he was available and it does show the cupboard is potentially lean at No 8 particilarly, but we do have some potential stand ins .
That said ... if we learnt anything from the last World Cup is that we need to have at least a third level choice of players who can be a qaulity substitute.
The possibilities are ..assuming that all these are fit.
Moriarty
Navidi
Griffiths
King
But if the last two are out we could still have two qaulity players.

I was reading a while ago that the rule changes have led to more injuries this season. It certainly looks like a lot of teams are carrying a lot of casualties.
