Glasgow's selection might give more of a hint-eg. lets see how Matt Fagerson and Steyn are treated.)

Toony definitely not on the Bradbury bandwagon then.
George Horne is starting for Glasgow so maybe Vellacott is more likely to be in the 23.

Not sure we can read too much into 6N selection i think players have been retained where the clubs have depth to cover but likes of back 3 DVDM and Kyle Rowe were both ill/injured which only left Hogg and Graham as back 3 although Maitland now called up and i think both above likely to be fit.
In our back row we have Crosbie, Haining and Mata injured, Ritchie and Watson with Scotland. All the rest i think are involved Saturday so start Bradbury take him off at HT and Muncaster is able to cover 6/8. Glasgow better postioned to cover Fagerson absence.
