Well if we don't play Lilley, he'll definitely be recalled as the whole point of him being here is to improve his game with minutes on the pitch and keep him match fit. I think we pick the best available each week based on performances. Which leaves a dilemma as both Keyes and Lilley have performed well at 7.

How about Lilley 6, Keyes 7, Leon 4

That would be ironic. Wasn't one of the reasons Leon left originally was because we played him in the centres instead of halves?

I think its was one of the reasons but that was then and this is now. Elder statesman doing whatever is needed for the cause without any personal considerations.

Far from sure that's true. I definitely think we'll go better on a drier track and Toulouse will have a couple missing anyway (allegedly).

In any case, Odsal dries pretty well if it's given a few hours, and it's not necessarily going to be like last week when it just never stopped - even then, it was only the top surface which seemed to cut up.

Its meant too lash it down all night then again come kick off time.

May have been some light rain overnight (where I live, around 3 miles from Odsal) though nothing substantial. Hopefully the promised rain for kick off will be delayed.. or

No rain where I live 92 miles from Odsal.

I have this weird feeling around me today, optimism. Not felt that for some time, hope its not misplaced.
