Great news. Hopefully he'll be back for Leicester

If he’s ready to go, then he starts against Leicester in my
opinion. If Leicester don’t have any of their injured centres
back for the weekend, it could be a tough afternoon for Burns
and Gopperth facing a relatively fresh Andre.

I could see 11. Murley 12. Andre 13. Northmore 14. Marchant
22/23. Anyanwu giving them some serious problems even if they do
have Kelly or Porter back. Swapping Andre for Lennox at 55
minutes isn't quite like when England used to start with Carling
and de Glanville and only bring Guscott on when the defence was
suitably softened up, but it has a similar vibe and would
probably get the most out of both players.

Problem Anyanwu has is that he's not a great bench option. If we
have a scrum half and fly half on the bench, then we need
someone to cover back three. I suppose Andre can cover 10 which
would allow two utility back options on the bench, but I can't
see it happening.
Anyanwu realistically either starts or doesn't make the squad at
all

I agree on the last statement, I Anyanwu as a solid player but
lacks X factor - time might change my opinion but I agree start
him or drop him from the 23

Seems a bit harsh to drop the player who was MoM in the last
game.

I'm sure we'd do exactly that if Marcus was available after an
Edwards PotM performance.

I don't think we would in this situation.
We typically bring international players back to start from the
bench.
So, if Edwards had had a superb game, then we would probably
start Edwards and bring Marcus on at 60 minutes.

Without wishing to be too mean to any particular player or
pundit, having a superb game and being PotM are not necessarily
the same thing.
