So that's 48 players. Works out as on average 25 starting each week. It'll be interesting to see how it changes as the season goes on.

How many of those are playing now that the Internationals are back?

I hope a few have made a good enough mark to stay on in the match day 22s. I noticed that Saracens, who have a few injuries to first choice senior players, but have taken on Peter Stringer as cover rather than using the two young scrum halves at their disposal.

Where's that evergreen youngster Budgie on your list, Thunor?!

To cover in case another is injured. With Hodgson out injured as well I think the coaches were panicing about having a 19 year old scrum half with a 20 year old fly half for the big HEC games and the busy Christmas period.

The ones who'll probably still be starting are

Starting

Marler
Wade
Gaskell
Farrell
Sharples
Millar
Thomas
One of Smith and Stegmann
Welch
Addison
Lowe
Short
Marler
Brady
Not sure about Joseph, he was on fire but got injured as the other got back
Burns
Eves
Wilson
Gibson
Fearns

A fair few of the others are first choice bench player and will play most games.
