[Peat]

Shouldn't you have added vbookie to this one as well Oly, you lazy git?

Have to say this should be the pick of the games to me. Two talented backlines going hammer and tongs, although I'd expect Quins to win.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

It was already here



I reckon Quins as well - Irish are missing more players (2x centres left, and then their replacements are at the WC - not ideal! Though when one of those is Hape, maybe it is ideal?)
I'm backing Quins for the top 4 this season, think they'll go far
Will be good to see Guest get a decent amount of time at 8, with Easter away

 

[Peat]

London Irish will have a very raw backline, they're missing a lot of players from there, but they've got the academy to cover it. What I don't think they have is the stuff up front to cover losing Steflon, Stowers and Murphy, not with Corbs and Ion at the World Cup, as it looks like they signed potential rather than proven players. Not against a Quins side that's beginning to build a very dangerous pack.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I really like Homer - tore it up against Sale at the Reebok last season, and has got a very good boot on him (at goal and in general play)

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Teams now added - Good to see Yarde getting some first XV time after a good showing for the U20s - that Irish back three looks really good
