Worcester are one of Quins bogey teams so I can't say I feel overly confident of a result. OTOH, we do have a bunch of our inured players back which could be a massive bonus.

BT showing Worcester some love since Dimes arrived

Our game vs Irish will be interesting - our form is still pretty erratic, I've no idea how we won this weekend, and Irish can tear any side apart when they're in the mood
Friday night in Manchester, if the weather is anything like this, should slow their play a little though

Well at least this week the Falcon fan will have something to cheer about.

Dont bet on it....

Dean will roll out his old decrepid favorites instead of sticking the kids....

There's talk that Underhill and Reid may be available to keep Hughes company against Falcons.
What are the current rulings on protective materials for the ribs?

 

[GlosJoe]

Given our record at Welford Road is abysmal (the only time we haven't lost there since 2007 was that 41-41 draw) I'll be happy even if we picked up just a point
I doubt Tigers are going to have two poor performances in a row especially when they are at home for this one

Really hope that Underhill isn't back so soon. Let his brain turn back into solid matter first.

 

[Al Bangor]

A Gloucester win over Leicester would really make my year as far as rugby goes. I know the odds are against it but I'm hoping for an upset.

Kerrod at 1 again is interesting

Caps

Wasps by 1
Sale by 7
Quins by 4
Leicester by 7
Newcastle by 5
Northampton by 2

Of the handicaps, Wasps -1 vs Bristol seems like the one to go for. I feel like I'm ragging on Bristol a bit betting against them multiple weeks in a row but they kinda look like they're in freefall tbh, not knowing who their halves are right now. Quins -4 is tempting, but shorn of England players Quins have looked a bit flakey. Even when dominating last week they managed to make it a one score game.

Sale-Irish and Northampton-Exeter I have no idea tbh. Wouldn't touch either.

Is this Seb Atkinson's debut? Lining up against Andre is a baptism of fire …

First start, came off bench a couple of weeks ago. I think we're too light in centres really
