#5. Dan Biggar & Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints)
On Lawes, who could join Wales and Lions No 10 Dan Biggar back in the Saints side for their game against London Irish this Saturday, Northampton’s attack coach Sam Vesty said: “Courtney has not played many games of rugby, is lightly-raced, has had a pre-season and is ready to go, and wants to go. Everyone is happy with that being the case.
“We do a lot of data-gathering around players’ GPS, days off, and such. There’s no point keeping all of that and when it comes to decisions around players you treat them all the same.”
