Indeed - and it's the 2nd most important match of the regular season...All very logical, and makes sense
But on the other hand.....it's Leicester vs Bath! Surely you want the bragging rights, if only for a few weeks until you inevitably meet in the final?![]()
Hoping Bath use as few of our front-rank players as possible.
Last weekend was the one to keep sharpness; this one is too close to the final to be worth the risk. It's also ahead of the less-important must-win match (if that makes sense), so less risk with being marginally undercooked.
If you go light last week, then there's more to be gained by giving the 1st XV a full break before returning to training, than 1 week before throwing back into the fray.
The only thing we can gain by playing the 1sts is proving that we can beat Leicester at home - which we already know
We've stuck out a fairly strong side v sarries so assuming doing like as against leinster.It is an interesting conundrum - risk vs reward, but Saints showed the value of going all out the week before a big knockout game
They had a lot less to lose though
