A super response this week - thanks to everyone who has replied. This week we had an incredible 17 forwards and 12 backs looking for a game (Graham M has a couple of mates keen to play in the forwards, in addition to those listed above!)

Unfortunately, I will not be able to get everyone a game. To be honest, having spoken to groundskeeper Willie, it's highly unlikely the game will go ahead. I will try to let you all know by 10.30 on Saturday morning if it is off, given the early kick off.

If the game is off, I think it would be good to have a few beers enjoying the 6 Nations. I'm open to suggestions as to the venue, and will text everyone in the morning with the most popular choice.

As far as I'm aware we can take five subs. I think it makes sense to take two backs and three forwards. Fraser and Doc have said they would fill in if we were short, but are happy not to play if numbers are good.

I plan to start with the first seven backs and eight forwards named, so if any of the benchers - particularly in the forwards - would like a week off, please let me know. Please don't all say you would, though, as it would be daft to waste such a good turn out.

See you on or off the pitch tomorrow (12.15 at Invers if the game is on, please).
