Has to be done imo. Any one of the welsh regions would work, get the Ospreys to the parc? No point playing inter - squad games as they won’t have the intensity and players will use the same game plan. Surely this can be sorted and is in the best interests of all parties with the new season looming?
History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

Ospreys might welcome a game. Whether it would count as meaningful for George North’s suspensions is a possibility

I think we’re ok for injuries ?  Samson had a cut nose and I’m unsure about Sebastian .   Another rushed fixture would be beneficial, though we now have strength in depth that will really benefit us ,though I’ll reserve judgement until after the Toulon game.  A win will be huge and potentially sets us on a real path for silverware.

Sebastian failed a HIA and was replaced by Ken, he’ll have to work through the HIA protocol now, hopefully it’s not too serious.

Worried about this as tight-head is probably the squad's weakest position.

Javed has it all to proof at the top level. Does he need more conditioning as well? Modern jerseys are pretty unforgiving!He’s certainly a big lad ! We are pinning a lot on him as a young front row player coming to the top and  is there someone else coming through who might make the grade ?🤔

Would  a run out against the dragons be worth while as they got Bristol to play in their cup game.
Both fully loaded squads getting  ready for their Euro games

We have Alex Jeffries as another tight head and doesn't Kelmsley Matthias, who's in our academy, play there as well? 

I wondered whether it'll be an idea to bring Ben Leuong into the squad.

Saw him in Carmarthen few weeks back let’s just say he didn’t exactly look like a professional sportsman.
It’s a shame because the rest of the squad who have played so far look really fit and in shape including Samson who looks fittest I’ve seen in a couple of years. 
She asks why i still can't answer. I guess its in the blood.

I can't see them adding another fixture ,especially with the  Covid situation.

he is 26 mind. Although nowhere near the pro experience of Samson, he is only a year behind him. 
Next years recruitment imo should be another NWQ tighthead.

Glad it’s not just me ! Now was the time for Javed to really step up with his fitness in the hope that he could break through into the top level. At 26 he can’t mess around.He could blow it if he’s not careful as I feel worried about him and for his sake as well. He’s a big lad and yes Samson looks very good. 👍

I think this is right. The more pertinent question is whether the Toulon fixture, and the remainder of the tournament, will go ahead.

Seemed to have lost the weight last season and worked on his fitness, although lockdown seems to have put an end to that.
