Abdull will be a bench player spelling the back row and Pryce's understudy. He gives us an option as most weeks we'll go with DH playing 80 minutes.

Maybe it's his age? washbrook is 30 but I bet he gets a bench spot every week

Where's rangi fit into all this!

Or maybe, Abdul will be our starting 13 as his shirt number suggests and will be his to lose! Time will tell I guess

Can't see Frank only getting in through injury though, can you?

He's the new host of Homes Under the Hammer, just bought a 3 bed semi on Kingswood.

Doubt it, we'll flog Houghton for 80 as often as possible.

Frank , Ellis start
Mini, Manu , bench
Not unthinkable , and makes our bench look very strong
Look what a strong bench did for England against nz on Saturday, the bench is as important as the starting 13

I was just commenting that you was predicting Abdull playing LF based on his squad numbers. I was continuing that train of thought in to Pritchard's number.

In other words, numbers mean nothing. 13 was available.

Pritchard is a. Massive David beckham fan, he asked for it
