Bad news for Grahamslaw and Chamberlain they're playing super 6. Especially bad for Chamberlain as Houston who starts at 10 for Heriot's was name checked by Blair as someone who has been training with us.
I think it's fair enough about Grahamslaw, he's 4th in the pecking order and a run of games in the Super 6 is probably what he needs at this stage.
Maybe it's not just Cockerill who doesn't think Chamberlain is ready yet. I thought Houston is a bit limited from what I've seen so I would expect Chamberlain to be showing better than him at Heriots when he gets the opportunity.
Concern is we're loaning depth players from the Brumbies instead of him. Not a good move for us as there's no chance Lloyd is actually very good as Australian rugby is in the pits and he doesn't even start for them. Again, shortsighted from the SRU. And concerning for Grahamslaw he's behind Lloyd.
Houston seems to start over Chamberlain when he's available. Not really sure what's going on. We'll see what the lineup next week.
