Can't look much further than another fairly unexciting season for Quins unfortunately.
On paper our first XV is quality, but when a fair few of those players head off for internationals the drop down in quality / experience is massive. However I'm looking forward to seeing more of Marchant, who...
Quite happy to see an unchanged side, good for building consistency and partnerships within the team.
Not convinced that many of the injured would 'walk back' into the starting 15 right now which is a great tribute to our strength in depth!
If we can cut loose early doors then I would expect a...
A quick and picky point but basing all knowledge off of the BBC text service and Ben Dirs is not really going to make me think, wow this guy watches a lot of rugby and really knows his stuff.
On the debate itself, I'm not convinced Wilko is the answer but we only have two fly halfs and we have...
Is that accurate, because if it is then I completely agree with the decision to start with that half back pairing as it's our first choice 9 with our back up / 1st choice 10. Vital they have more game time together.
I'm not sure Johnno will mix it up to much. He know the importance of units within the team. We need to start building Partnerships especially in our backs as they have been mixed and matched almost constantly since the 6 nations.
I'm not convinced he ( Youngs ) has that great an attitude, He tends to go very quiet during games where things are not going his way ( In my opinion ) also when you say he is very chatty, I'm not sure that he is chatty in a positive way and he tends to get on the wrong side of Refs which is fatal.

Good game, some nice offloads by SBW, ( HMS bananaman so wants to be him ).. Dagg looked good. Tonga came out much stronger in the second half and deserved their try.
