James Simpson Daniel and Andy Hazell have been passed fit to play on Saturday. Sinbad returns after glandular fever and Andy Hazell is back after toe and achilles injuries, ahead of the Heineken Cup match against Viadana on Saturday. When we heard that James Simpson Daniel had gone down with Glandular fever, we expected a long lay off. However after recent blood tests he no longer has the illness and will return on Saturday against Viadana.

Hopefully as the weather gets warmer and subsequently the ground gets harder, our backs will run riot on opposition defences after our forwards have worked so hard in the winter. And Sinbad is a key part to this plan.

Andy Hazell, the specialist number 7, has also returned to training. He had injured his Achilles, and then recieved a freak injury when walking out of the tunnel to do with his toe. He may also play on Saturday.

Viadana are without a doubt the weakest team in the group, and we can only be happy with a very big win. Especially as try count could be all important going in to the BIG MATCH against Munster the following weekend.
