The six (McGrath, Cronin, Ryan, Leavy, Larmour and Kearney) who were released back to us last week, injuries permitting, should at least be in the mix for selection. Whether any of the other int'l squad players feature this week may well depend on when they return to training.

Is Leavy fit?

(edit) Actually, now that I've had a go at trying to pick a team it looks like there'll be no choice but to include a lot of the youngsters.
Some headline names in good form and match ready after AI's so there is no need to risk too many stars.
The Dragons are in a flat spin out to sea so a even a weakened team can expect a win.
Would it be ironic if this game was the straw that breaks Birch's back?
This is normally a fixture I attend but I can't bear to witness the anger directed at the Dragons players by their own fans from the terraces any longer.
It'd be nice to get Dan Leavy, JGP and R O'L some game time ahead of HC.
We await injury update on JC, last seen hors de combat.

Doesn't sound like ROL will make Bath, meaning we'll be going in without him and Henshaw. Going to need someone to deputise in the centre then.

No Tomane either who, despite form, was signed for precisely this reason. Larmour hasn't played at centre yet this season, and will he even make the XV if he is having surgery this week?
Sexton-Lowe-Reid-Ringrose-Byrne-Kearney (Byrne-Larmour/O'Brien).
Another worrying thing is the long-term injury to McCarthy, which means Fardy will probably make only the home matchday squad. Toner-Ryan-Leavy-VDF-Ruddock (Moloney-Deegan).
Not exactly the ideal selection for an away European game, even if Bath are in a slump.
Totally out there idea but listening to the post-match presser made me think of it: any chance of Frawley being played at 12 this week as a trial?

Some good news!
Not much 'general tightness' in evidence there.
