they also thought one of Bergs or McCallum would be released, but I can't see that happening, tbh, if Bergs does go in ahead of McCallum then the latter will be retained as emergency, cover, surely?

He is the third hooker, and probably won't play. He can play for us and be easily called back with the scottish squad if needed. I'm hopeful he will be released, at least to feature on the bench.

I think Berg will go straight into the 23, possibly even start. Being suspended rather than injured means he will have been able to train full on, so not the same issue.
I really hope Kinghorn makes the bench, cant see it though.

We might be a little lightweight up front, but we'll have pretty much our first choice backs available. Leinster will also be missing quite a few players, so it could be a finely balanced game.

I think / hope we might see him during the 6Ns, probably not this weekend.
