It's always said that having too many good players available is a problem everyone would like. I'm not sure.
While I would normally put Bateman in the centres and have Faz and Greenwood at second-row, it would be a bit harsh on Sarginson, who is having his best spell for us.
Tautai is definitely not required but I fear it may be Morgan who misses out. I guess a lot will depend on exactly how fit Ben Flower is. If he is 100%, he plays but maybe if not, then it's an unnecessary risk.
Personally, I'd have Morgan on the bench to freshen things up if required and to give players a break and sadly, Sutton could miss out. Clubb, Flower, Navarette and Hamlin are better and given that Faz and Greenwood are fit, then they must play. The same goes for SOL.
It's a bugger, isn't it?

I wonder if Flower is fully fit he certainly won’t be match fit that’s for sure for this game I’m not sure I’d risk him,Lockers plays purely for his almost supernatural presence on the team,Morgan should as well he offers far more coming off the bench than at fullback and looks a real handful so it’s between Faz and Hamlin who misses out on the 17 for me if Flower isn’t fully fit

Why would Sutton miss out?

Flower has not been fit for months but he is integral to our success.
