GOB rested or NB seeing how we do without him with a wire recall coming?

Most likely just giving Lance some game time considering GOB won't be able to play against Wire next week.

Soliola in for Richards, otherwise, same as London for me.

Is the departure of O'Brien going to mark a return to us being terrible?

Not that he was amazing for us, but he at least provided some structure and sense to our play. Without him there and with no academy halfbacks either, I think we might see a return to the clueless rugby we saw during the majority of the season.
