not wanting to sound harsh but do you think Saili will leave in the summer? not sure who would take him on but quins were willing to take on someone who is apparently pretty consistently injured.

I hope he doesn't leave - he could be very good for us.
For fear of having the same endless conversation on different threads every two months, you can't include the concussion and say "he's injured a lot". He got smacked in the head and couldn't play for months - not really evidence of anything other than luck.
Now with the shoulder - that could be a worry. But I guess only time will tell.

I'm often injured because I keep walking in front of buses. Just bad luck I guess.

Think that’s a bit harsh re Walker. Danny care and the inside cover should have sorted the first. Unlucky bounce with the second. Maybe the third he should do better but they still had an overlap.

HARLEQUINS HAS TODAY NAMED THE MATCHDAY 23 TO FACE GLOUCESTER RUGBY AT KINGSHOLM IN ROUND 20 OF THE AVIVA PREMIERSHIP (SATURDAY 14TH APRIL, KICK-OFF 15:00).
There are five changes to the starting 15 from last week's encounter with London Irish.
In the backs, Jamie Roberts comes in to partner Joe Marchant in the centres as Francis Saili misses out (shoulder). Alofa Alofa also starts, to form the back three alongside Mike Brown and Charlie Walker.
In the forwards there are three changes, with Joe Gray starting at hooker. There is a brand new second row as club captain James Horwill packs down with George Merrick in the engine room. Merrick starts for the first time since January following his recovery from injury.
In the replacements, Elia Elia will look to feature for the first time since January.

Can’t see Clifford back for a while if he has torn his hamstring off the bone (as reported)
Quote:RodneyRegis
His entire career has been jinxed.
Quote:Scamble
I don’t see it happen, only saw it after the event when he was down for ages. RT quoting JK saying “he’s torn the hamstring off the bone and is out for the season. he will need an operation.”
