You read it here first
Considering Tigers is at Welford road it should be a Tigers win esp if Mike Williams and Fitzgerald are back.
Agree, Tigers at home.
Of course, home to Newcastle might be seen as a day to play some second stringers. After last season I'd rather see us take no chances though, play our best team and look for the strongest start we can get.
I genuinely think we'll give Bath a shock!
I know its away, but I just think we looked very strong in a few key areas that could really take the game to them.
If we can just get a little bit more control and precision in the backs...we'll give ourselves a hell of a chance.
First win at Franklin Gardens in 16 years and lasting 73minuites without conceding a point. That's a pretty major win in most teams books.
We 'should' win this.
I know I was there, we were far from convincing that day though and it pretty much summed up how our entire season went after that.Newcastle definitely have a chance though. Bath won their first game last season and that was against Chiefs, but we know how things turned out after that. The win vs Saints may not count for much.
We played well last week also. I don't think you will beat us comfortably at all.
Our breakdown was very strong indeed. Our scrum and lineout also. And our defence was brutal at times.
If bath take this game for granted we'll come away with the victory.
Do Bath have second stringers anymore?
Sorry reading back that sounds a bit cocky. I don't mean to suggest it's in the bag already - just saying, we played very well last week and IF we reproduce that dorm is expect us to win. Big "if" though, my point was there's a big swing from our potential best to our potential worst performance.
However, like ncurd says we are st home and have the momentum of a changed back room staff and a great away win, we "should" win this one.
That was supposed to be Cook but it hasn't worked out.
