I thought Saracens would need an adjustment period without Farrell, the Vunipolas, Maitland and Lewington. Apparently not. How annoying!Ive been wrong thinking Chiefs will win the first 2 rounds, let's hope I'm wrong again as I can't see us beating Sarries unfortunately.

Does a red card = automatic 1 week ban? If so then Dugdale got two yellows last week so will be missing too

Apparently it depends whether they were for foul play or a technical offence.
Sounds like RdP and EvR will both be fit to play, but Tom Curry hasn't passed RTP protocols and Ben Curry and Hyron Andrews are both out
- Ford (torn muscle, no word on when he's back yet - seeing a specialist)
- Rob du Preez (limping badly on the weekend, really hoping it was just a deadleg)
- JLdP (doing return to play protocols, don't think he's eligible for this week)
- DDP (not due back until rd 4)
- Willgriff John (as above)
- Hill (as above)
- Quirke (5 weeks away)
- Nick Schonert (out until end of october/early november)
- EvR (doing return to play protocols - hopefully back this week)
- T Curry (as above)
- Le Roux Roets (neck injury, due back this week or next)
- Rodd (hamstring injury, due back whenever the Prem Cup starts)
- Harrison (torn hamstring, out long term)

Dealing with a few injuries of our own, particularly in the back three.
I don't love Smith at 15. I'd have had him and Jarrod Evans the other way round but good to see Will Joseph back.
Could be a fun game but I can only see a Saints win.
Why? Smith kicked well last week and I'd expect him to maintain kicking duties.I guess that means Evans will be the designated kicker.

Wearing 10 doesn't automatically mean you are the designated kicker.
