Looking at each sides back line, there is a massive wealth of talent with Saints just shaving it imo. Up front I think Gloucester have more power in their 8 than Northampton.
 
The tight fives are much of a muchness (Saints slightly better in the front row and Glaws slightly the better in the boiler room).

The back row is the ding dong though, Saints pace vs Glaws power.

Can't wait! =-D
 
I don't think Gloucester quite realise just how damaging the Dean Ryan era was...the team just have no backbone or spirit...what a waste for Olly Morgan and Sinbad :(
 
Dunno how being the real champions 2 years running can be considered "damaging". The f-ups of the last 6 months and the back-room politics shouldn't be what his entire time there is remembered for.
