She's gone through the operation. That's been a success.

I'd love John to make it to the Premiership, I really would.

I agree. For us it's a real distraction. We're fighting hard for our Premiership existence. You see, once you get there, John, that's when your problems really begin.

I'm surprised that Emile isn't in the squad,
