Neither player in the 17 man squad but could have been travelling reserves? Hope they didn't go to France and can make the journey to Haven.

It's unfortunate the way things have gone, but wouldn't it be nice to field our strongest team?
It's difficult to see when that might be.
I suppose most sides have similar problems though.
It is bloody frustrating though, considering we have one of the best sides when we can field it.
