Assuming Greenwood is actually fit I'd be tempted to go like this and aim to smash them in the forwards.

Both teams name their squads and the sold out signs go up.

Id go with that. I'm not sure if Wello will play as I think he needs surgery. Maybe he's put that off until we get players back.

Bowen missing is as big a blow TO US as Burns being out is. A huge blow. If Hampshire is half as good as they say, he'll have a field day against us. Bowen would have been worth 10 points to us.

Hopefully he's missing entirely as playing with 12 men in a derby when we've got many key players out would be a tough ask. Having Wello hobbling around injured would benefit no one.

Hampshire is a halfback , Wilkin should be putting him under as much pressure as possible and hope he has a bit of a 'Bowen'. Regardless of who's playing fullback for them our best chance of a win will come from our forwards, if we dominate the middle of the park our makeshift halves will have the extra time and space they need to try and get us over the line.
