Don't understand why we're yet to name our side :huh:

Looking forward to this, despite having to miss all of it through work: A lot of premiership players involved, which will be fun to see. Sarries, especially, have a very "pro" side.




Sale:
1. Cameron Neild
2. James Doyle
3. Jason Hill
4. Jack Allcock
5. Luke Wishnowsky
6. Will Cliff
7. Nathan Fowles
8. Tom Brady
9. Phil MacKenzie
10. James Mitchell
11. Josh Fowles
12. John O'Donnell

Good mix of academy and senior players - looking forward to seeing how they do.

Bath:

1. Chris Cook – Scrum-half
2. Anthony Watson – Wing/fullback
3. Ollie Devoto – Fly-half/fullback
4. Nick Koster – Back-row
5. Ollie Evans - Centre
6. Max Clarke - Centre
7. Freddie Clarke – Back-row
8. Ludi Hopkinson – Fly-half/fullback
9. Max Northcote-Green – Back-row
10. Raymond Bishop - Wing
11. Tuvita Tamatawale – Fly-half
12. Alafoti Fa'osiliva – Back-row


Alafoti Fa'osiliva is actually a specialist 7's player too, he's a starting prop for Samoa.
Raymond Bishop and Tuvita Tamatawale are "guests" from the army, I'm guessing Bath are using this as a trial for them after last season's success with Roko.
Squad looks pretty strong tbh...

Group C, playing on the pitch at Allianz should be awesome, definitely the most exciting of the lot.

Have to fancy either Quins or Sarries to take the whole thing. Saints don't have a bad squad - plenty of pace, but perhaps lacking a bit of the size you still need to maintain the ball around the breakdown area.

But London Irish have Will Smith.
