Do you have a Preseason game arranged for Weekend of 12th September (or 19th)? (12th is your Bye week for PRC R2)

The summer tourists aren’t available for PRC R1 & 2 as these are still during the PRB work load regulations ‘Rest’ period.
They can play in friendlies but not competitive games (PRC)! Regulation presumably written before PRC games got tangled up with Preseason.

So Friday might be the only opportunity for Martin before his return to MWWR!!
Also applies to Tomas, JG, Dan, Earl, Calouri.

Yes, playing up at Ampthill on the 12th, then Scarlets on the 18th

tigers simon you know better than me the rules and regs set out for rest periods

We should have a full squad for these games as they are friendlies. We play pirates on the28th, Ampthill on the 6th (I think?) and then Scarlets on the 19th September.

Ampthill is the 12th, Scarlets the 18th

thank you sarriebone, im lousy with dates

My guess is that we won't see any of the lads involved in the summer internationals until the league season starts.

Potentially a run out for the likes of JMG and AOC alongside some of the younger lads.

I am intrigued to see if Weilbach plays as he is someone I havent seen anything of before.

Thanks for the preview, very glad the season is now in view! Any chance that there will be livestream of this?

I believe the internationals are back in training today

All internationals listed as going to Cornwall. Judging by the size of the squad they may not get minutes!

Looks like every fit senior squad member (except Cinti who is still with Argentina I assume) and a few senior academy lads.

Not sure why Christie isn’t on the list, he seemed well on his way to recovery in the pre season videos

Difference in participating in Pre-Season Training Camp and a Pre-Season match!

Andy Christie got married not many days ago so likely on honeymoon duties.

Nice one, thanks!

A chance to see us playing against a team wearing what I'd have liked as our home kit.

Interesting to see which of the academy lads have been included not sure if this is due to injury but Fraser Rawlins(centre)seems like an option on the wing and looks like Keylock has the edge over Davidson as the third choice 10. Similarly Hammick is in and not Charlie west. Dehautuer also involved!
Exciting times ahead for our academy

Everyone is grouped with players in their position (front row, 9s etc) except Maro (listed first as captain) and Eoghan Clarke. Is Clarke potentially shifting to the back row?

Probably not, most likely just a formatting issue.
