"Greg Halford will almost definitely come in. I've not decided 100% but it's pretty certain. Is he ready? We'll only find out if we throw him in.
"We had seven players away on internationals so for one to come back injured is par for the course! Everyone else is fine, although Ulises De La Cruz is not back from America yet.
"It's been a bit disjointed for us with so many being away. It's the most we've ever had away, so that's a sign of the impact we're making at both Premiership and international level.
"It's a huge game on Sunday so we're looking forward to getting back into the routine with no more distractions.
"When we have international weeks I get jealous, our players are elsewhere and can get injured!
"As a player it's the icing on the cake, but as a manager on the other side of the fence it's uncomfortable.
"I watched the Irish game, the two games were very significant. For us to have three players involved is a vindication of the time we've invested in Irish players in their own environment, it's something we'll continue to do."
