SB's going with Philbin over Crowther.

Starting props are Yates & Musgrove as it stands.

No decision has been made over whether Walker or Powell starts.

You have to play Philbin vs Saints, it's a no brainer. Seems weird to be in a position where there isn't space in the 17 for two excellent, in-form players in Lindop and Crowther.

Why do you feel it's a no brainer? Crowther has been excellent, Philbin has been injured.

Obviously depends on Philbin being fully fit. But all of his best ever performances have been against Saints and he really gives it the opposition - which needs to be our mindset tonight.

Philbin was exceptional against Saints.
