Will we have the welsh and scottish players back this weekend? We need them seen as SB has release Smith Marchant and Murley back to them.

Quins with the 6 - 2 split so expecting a physical battle. With Herbst and Ewers coming off the bench it isnt going to get any less physical.

Good to see Grey Jenkins Tshiunza back but where is Hogg?... Hodge is doing well and no issue with his starting but Hoggs experience from the bench could be great.


Oh and proof that SB hates Chiefs allowing Smith Marchant Murley to play.

Smith has definitely been released because quins asked for it for the big game at Twickenham.

 

[Al Bangor]

Bye week for Gloucester.

Where's Ramm, for Saints?
This 15 they've got out tonight has been terrible

Terrible looking like an understatement now, tbh

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Woeful defence but this is just beautiful rugby.

 

[IT157]

Bristol playing like they were a couple of years ago.

 

[Rinkadink]

Don't worry, I'm as surprised as you all are.

Very happy, gutted I'm stuck at home tonight instead of at the ground as usual. Still a second half to go though.

*edit*
Then remember how many of these guys might be off at end of season.

Woeful defence but this is just beautiful rugby.

Exactly this...Bristol are soooo hard to stop when they get in behind you, the defence dropping off tackles and leaving holes in the defensive line is whats allowing them to get in behind.

This is bad for Saints season. With Sale playing Sarries they could end up closing the gap on Sale going into what? The last 4 rounds?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

How have Harding and Thacker made 22 and 16 tackles already? Feels like Northampton have hardly had the ball.

Who will be potentially leaving?

Maybe they're making Hendy's for him

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Savage. I do feel a bit for Hendy. He’s very highly rated and at 20 he is still very much a youngster.

Hope this doesn’t knock his confidence too much going forward.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Saints players being forced to review this in training on Monday morning

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's clearly forward,
Proper pity try

 

[Rinkadink]

Who will be potentially leaving?

From this match alone? Thomas, Thacker, Lahiff, Radradra, Piutau, Byrne, Woolmore, Bedlow, and Uren. Can't remember about Naulago or Jefferies offhand.
