Pointless debuting them if you’re not going to persist. It was just a case of timing, Yeamo was guilty of the same thing. Bring on the youth, well not in Yeamos case

If you are dropping anyone from last week based on performance it has to be Yeaman (I wouldn't drop any of those for this game though)

Difficult to name a 17 until the 19 is named, given rumours of more injuries. But if everyone bar Griffin is available from Sunday's team then I would go.

Yes its a very inexperienced and potentially vulnerable backline. But it's preferable to playing Yeaman again or Hadley out of position imo.

I do agree but think he will play Yeaman, Sanderson won't play imo

Taylor definitely out.

With no Taylor, Ellis becomes a real possibility this week.

Taylor out also apparently with a shoulder injury.
I agree with that backline.Give Sanderson a run.Yes vulnerable but Yeaman is hardly going to make a difference to the result.
I would also try one half with Miloudi and Harris at half back.
If Yeaman plays again it makes a nonsense of Radfords pledge to play youth when necessary.
Watching Yeaman play was embarrassing

Oddly, I found the criticism of Yeaman on this forum even more embarrassing.
He was helping the club out during an unprecedented injury crisis.
LR said playing some of the youngsters at this stage in their careers would have done more harm than good, so well done Kirk for having the courage to give it a go. Surely no one was expecting him to be a world beater?

There is definitely some logic to playing Harris and Miloudi in the halves to allow Connor to play centre. The back line suddenly looks much stronger if he is in it.

If Taylor is out then I would push Manu to prop, Hadley to start in the back row and Lane onto the bench. Maybe Radford is thinking of Gaz straight in at prop though? But again I don't think it's the right way to go really.
