Isgro out of favour, or perhaps just a casualty of the 6:2 bench
split strategy? I must say, until last weekend, I would have
much preferred him to David, because of the latter's generally
poor defence, but he did very well (attack and defence).
Deserves not to be dropped, as they all do from last Sunday's
showing.

That's really quite astonishing. Prove us all wrong, Joe.

And, it seems (no mention of any injury) Riley is preferred over
Turner. Personally, I'm not surprised, but one would think
(given that he's not only a past Scottish international but a
current one) that Turner would have got the nod.

Riley doesn't offer anything that Turner doesn't do at least as
well. Very odd.
Launchbury I think is more about unleashing Treadwell off the
bench in the 2nd half. That's when the La Rochelle power game
will really come to the fore.

I'd have gone with Turner over Riley on form & talent.
That being said, if Turner has signed with Red Bulls and we need
to see what we've got with Riley against very decent opposition,
then this would be the game to do it.
If it were a league game where we are trying to get as high as
possible (like Leicester) then I'd probably quibble a lot more.

Riley's played 82 matches for us, I think they know what they
have by now. Far too many matches left in the season to be
benching one of our higher profile signings because of where
he'll be next season...

Turner's contribution last week was losing scrums and throwing a
line out skew.

In the context of the season this game is huge for Quins - win
it and we guaranteed a home last 16 which is probably worth
c£0.5m to the club.
Have La Rochelle gone with a weakened team or their big names
missing through injury?

If have both Riley and turner ahead of walker, but it is a shame
that Riley hasn't really progressed
