@sandgroper it was bad in bordeax last night it all kicked off the centre were we was having a meal it was that bad all public transport was taken off and we had to walk back to our accommodation.
Public transport was suspended after 9pm in several cities last time including Toulouse. Didn’t see any trouble myself - was in the centre from 7 to about 10pm.
A few of the players named in the squad haven’t travelled.
Think we’ve only brought 18 fit players out here
Everyone who has travelled keep safe & I hope you all have a great safe time.
Getting back to the game & team I have never understood why coaches pick players out of position & have rarely if ever seen it work including at international level. So I am dead against it unless there is no option as we have been finding at prop for far too long.
So Lawton in the second row running out wide at centres. Edge must be brought back unless injured. Eckersley at centre. Walker to be in 17 as from what I have seen this season when we have won he has usually been playing. I think he is very underrated by fans. I do wish he could play more minutes though.
Take captaincy off Jack & give it to Grady, Fozard or Gilmore. It definitely affects Jack's game.
@geoffw Don’t think Eckersley travelled, presume centres will be Roberts and Edge
STAY SAFE everyone who travelled to watch this game.
Meantime, does anyone know if the game is to be on Radio Merseyside - or any other radio station.
I have rung radio merseyside several times but keep getting either an ansaphone or a recorded message, no real live people there!
Thanks.
@sunny not on radio and no updates from the club on the game either so best bet is on here..
I’ll try and post a few updates - don’t shoot the messenger!
They’ve gone with

subs: field fozzard Lawton tilleke
Jones at LF is a good shout, also gives tilleke a chance off the bench
Owens not warming up. Looks like Dixon at full back and Brookes on the wing
Edge full back. Brookes in the centres
Edge at fullback, Brookes centre and wingers as you were.
6-0 down. Walker missed one on one tackle and they strolled in.
