If Pryce isn't fit, I'd really like us to go with Wheeler at 6. Playing people in there natural positions is important to me. Roby at 6 is a bit of a non starter for me (even if he moves later on).

As I have said on RedVee, what do we do when GlassJaw gets injured?

Assuming he's goign to get injured is a little harsh, but yeah, then we just don't have a choice. TBH i'd go with Wilkin at 6 over Robes.

Mmm, not sure. I suppose if our halves defend the centre channels we won't have to worry about his opposite number catching him out for pace, but I'm not sure whether it would work in attack.

I wouldn't. He appeared to spend a lot of time there last week, we didn't look any better than we did when Roby was there.
