Kinghorn looked to be an ankle, he playe on f or quite a while with it, so hopefully didn't do any more damage.

Graham. Not sure, he seemed to walk off looking ok, presumed it must have been an HIA. Not sure if it was failed or just no time to carry it out? If it was he will be tight to get back for England.

Hastings did look good, so did Mcguigan. But we are at the bottom of the barrel now.

Neither of them should play next week.

Graham took a knock to the throat, not sure about Kinghorn.

Hearing that Kinghorns season is over, due to have ankle surgery shortly.

SteveWalsh, that's bad news, could be bad for him re the world cup too. He should have been hooked much earlier than he was, he was really struggling when Wales got their second try.

Damn it.Pretty writes off our Heineken chances frankly as absolutely key to our attacking threat. I wonder if Tom Brown is a better option than Fife now at full-back?

That’s dreadful news for our run in for the seasons end, hoping he has a swift and successful recovery.

Agree that’s us struggling now.

With Holland fit, should we give Darcy a run at full back? He has risen to every other challenge and would give us that cutting edge again.

I might be living in la la land after seeing Hastings cover fullback, but we could play Hickey back there? Not a clue if he's do a better job over Fife/Brown though. Could even stick Darcy back there with Hoyland on a wing?

Always has been. But the no brainer option at 15 is Graham. Fife to wing. Hickey to first plane to NZ.

I’m sure when he arrived they said he could play full back. But by that measure Dell can play TH!

There is a player in there, it just hasn’t clicked for us yet.

That gave a bit of a gallows chuckle.

Kinghorn would be a loss but I don't think we need to be writing off our chances quite yet.

We may well have both Scott and Bennett back in midfield and in the back 3 would still have Graham and VDM that does not feel like a bad unit whoever ends up at 15.

Add to that in the pack Barclay may be available for the Leinster match if not the QF plus Bradbury has only featured once for Edinburgh since October. Kinghorn is a loss but most of our success is on the back of a strong pack and that looks to be getting even stronger for the run in.

Barclay and Bennett added to Euro squad

CDP back in Worcesters - excellent news after that injury

SHC - into Harlequins euro squad!
