Don't much fancy our chances vs Wasps

My only glimmer of hope is that we were in poor form, and them good, the last time we played them - but we rattled Umaga and the wheels fell off

T.Curry coming back will definitely help

 

[EdBirch]

I don't think we stand a chance against saints in our current form

You know Saints are bottom right?

You know Saints are bottom right?

I do but they've been playing a lot better than we have the last 4 weeks

 

[Geordie]

Well i hope we keep up our good form...and now we also have Mark Wilson, Van Der Walt, Cooper Vuna, Schreuder and Argentinian Center Orlando available for selection...

I hope he doesnt change too much of the side. The lads have played well and deserve a crack at Leicester. But Mark was outstanding in the weekends Challenge up so he really needs to come back in. Maybe at the expense of Collett going to the bench.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Should be a good game.
Hoping for a Tigers team of
1. Genge
2. Youngs
3. Cole
4. Lavanini
5. Wells
6. Liebenberg
7. Reffell
8. Wiese
9. Youngs
10. Ford
11. Nadolo
12. Scott
13. Moroni
14. Murimurivalu
15. Steward

16. Mamukashvili
17. Leatigaga
18. De Bruin
19. Brink
20. Taufua
21. White
22. Henry
23. Taute/Porter

 

[Geordie]

1 Davison
2 McGuigan
3 Mulipola
4 Fuser
5 Peterson
6 Robinson
7 Wilson
8 Graham

9 Young
10 Connon
11 Stevenson
12 Flood
13 Burrell
14 Radwan
15 Arscott

Blamire
Cooper / Brocklebank
Daniels

The pack battle should be extremely physical

 

[Geordie]

Well last year it wouldn't have been, but it looks like Wells leaving and Easter coming in has brought in a slight change of tactics, and a lot more directness and physicality from us...something we have been badly missing for years. So yes it wont be fancy but it should be a cracking old battle.

Could’ve said the same about tigers really.

Borthwick, Walters and moving Ford to defence coach has seemed to improve our physicality levels compared to Murphy and Blake.

 

[Geordie]

Radwan v Nadolo is litterally the David v Goliath battle out on that wing.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

3 positive COVID cases at Tigers,
Apparently they're doing contact tracing n that to see if they can field a side on Boxing Day,

I wouldn't be surprised if Exeter vs Gloucester falls through as well - Bath vs Irish must be touch and go, too


Edit:
Tigers Falcons off

Why don't they just reschedule the games instead of playing the prem cup?
We have what 6 weeks of it?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I thought the Prem Cup had been cancelled?
Or was that last year, cause of the late start from the RWC?
