Well apart from Basset, Gopperth and Shields, I wouldn't swap any of our player, and these players would be on our bench.
They have great players, just believe (poss wrongly) that we a starting to play as we should, with the added mobility of fresh blood.

Looks like a strong team. Only surprise to me is not seeing Sam Skinner in the 23.

Wasps suffering a large injury list, per Welsh Wasp's post yesterday. Seems to be a perennial problem for them. I wonder if they employ EJ style training methods?

Could be a battle of the back rows, both look strong. Bench could make a difference for us.

O'Flaherty and Witty can definitely feel hard done by, but both have the chance to make their point from the bench. Otherwise, looks a strong side, with a good chance of getting a positive result.

They have both played in the first four rounds and are probably being rotated. Nowell was always going to start this one and Cordero scored twice last week!

I'm guessing that with Flats & Witty, it is just rotation. Both played most of each of the games so far this season, so getting a rest. Witty has certainly impressed throughout the season and is becoming a strong option for us in the second row now.
