Is Lawrence injured again? I'd have him in the squad if he's available

Hows Odogwu going...?
 
Yeah, will probably be a squad for the Barbarians game with others added in later.

Minus the top 4, I'd go for (assuming we're going full strength?):

1. B. Rodd / B. Obano
2. G. McGuigan/ J. Blamire
3. W. Stuart / B. Alo
4. S. Robinson / E. Richards
5. J. Launchbury (c) / F. Clarke
6. T. Hill / T. Pearson
7. S. Underhill / J. Willis
8. A. Barbeary / T. Willis
9. H. Randall / B. Spencer
10. F. Smith / O. Bailey
11. O. Hassell-Collins / J. Cokanasiga
12. M. Atkinson / M. Ojomoh
13. W. Joseph / S. Spink
14. A. Radwan / J. Nowell
15. H. Arundell

Unlucky to miss out: Schonert, Ludlow, Harding, Thorley

Very tough picking locks and centres without the top 4. The players in Italics are the ones I'd only expect to be around for the Barbarians game.
Really wish i could make a case for more Chiefs players in there but i just cant. That baring the obvious but injured ones like Hill(not a Chief anymore i guess), LCD Slade.

Tom Curry?
 
No chance Curry plays vs Barbarians

EJ won't risk him, Ewels, Sinckler (is he fit? Heard conflicting reports) won't be risked in a BS moneyspinner
 
I forgot Ewels and it wasn't even deliberate.

I'm not sure what the story is with Sinckler? He definitely posted to say his season was over, but it wasn't clear whether that was a short term absence meaning he'd miss this weekend's game or whether it also puts him out of the tour. Either way, I doubt he'd play vs. The Barbarians.

I very much doubt Tom Curry will play in the Barbarians game either. Ben Curry looks like he'd probably miss out to Tom Pearson. I'm OK with that as Pearson looks like a good find.

Yeah I read somewhere he was resting/rehabbing so he was fit for the summer, but that might have just been wishful thinking/fan speculation
 
Calum Chick? Been in the squad a good player who's performing in our dire side...
 
I agree, but Barbeary seems to be seen as the chosen one
 
Random one, but I wonder if Gareth Simpson could be a left field shout for the Barbarians game? He does seem to have a lot of good qualities and has been individually good in a poor season for Worcester.

Might as well pick the entire falcons team tbh

I do want to see Hill at 8 in the barbarians game tbh
As a Falcon, under consideration would be Robinson, Radwan, Blamire, Mcguigan....possibly Chick but back row is flooded with competition.

But i agree, Ted Hill at 8 v the Baa Baas.
 
Well i was close....didnt think Davison would make it as theres some good looseheads around....disappointed Robinson is not there.
