Assistant Referees: Joe James and John Meredith

Hey! He's an international standard ref he is.

I forgot Davison as well, so that's 10 out of our first 15 missing.

I do think any team that wins the premiership (apart from when sarries cheated) is as much luck and skill with injuries.

It is, and usually the Prem winners will struggle the season after as their reward for doing well is missing a chunk to England

There is some talk that Marler may be allowed to play given how little rugby he's played recently. No idea how accurate that is.

Sanderson has said that Ford might be released to play for Sale if he comes through England training well this week/meets his fitness markers etc., so looks like it's something they're considering for players with minimal game time

England centre Henry Slade will play for Exeter this weekend in a bid to prove his fitness ahead of the autumn opener against New Zealand on 2 November.
