Announced at 1.30pm. Rumoured in the press to have no Quins in
the matchday 23.

Not overly surprised.
Perhaps a Spencer/Furbank bench if Steward starts, as Furbank
could cover 10/15.

Would have preferred Ojomah or Atkinson over Dingwall at 12, as
I think both of those players have higher ceilings. Fisilau
would have been also my pick at 8, with Earl at 7...but time
will tell how well it goes. Shame to read the reason for Itoje
being on the bench as I wasn't aware his mother had passed

Ah cheers - I was wondering why he was benched. I saw he missed
the 6N launch to go to his mum's funeral in Nigeria. Very
touching that George stands in (both at the launch and as
Captain) given he was in the same boat a couple of years ago.

I'll grumble about Arundel and I'm not 100% convinced that
Dingwall is a better option than Ojomoh. But this is against
Wales, and we could probably have put out any 23 from the squad.
We'll have to see if this still stays the same for tougher
games.

Not sure about Fisilau leapfrogging Pollock tbh.
Fun that we have 3 12s we could genuinely make the case for.
Been a while!

Defo not as a bench option as pollock has that sown up. I think
though for debuts, against wales at home when you are in good
form is probably the more ideal scenario to cut your teeth

Feels like too much of a freebie, though? Could easily also cut
his teeth off the bench while allowing Pollock to do his thing
as a starter (he's certainly got the engine for it!)
