What with the Sarries' rotation policy, I wonder if Itoje might start in the back row?- they need physicality at the ruck, and he was fantastic when he came on against Racing...Farrell on the bench
So are we looking at: Vunipola, George, Du Plessis, Kruis, Hargreaves, Itoje, Burger, VunipolaThere has been really big hints that Itoje will start with Vunipola and Burger.
Shame that, a Du Plessis/Johnston due is miles apart from Figallo/Longbottom, funny how both Bath, Leicester and Sarries have all had their TH stocks ravaged at some point this season.He seems to be permanently injured sadly. He was part of the LV cup winning team, then he seemed to bench a couple of times. He must be injured though as Johnstone is awful, I think Longbottom is back before the end of the year.
Not many teams go away to France with a similar sized pack, maybe we can keep them on the back foot and make Nalaga turn around. He is the only weakness in positioning I can see in that Clermont team.
