[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 999034, member: 73592"] It's going to be fascinating to see how the different clubs approach things. Do they treat it as an extended pre-season for 2020-21? Do they go all out for a bit of silverware? Do they play the kids and bring on their development? Sarries are out anyway, and there will be overlaps with the Championship - so I can't see them doing much more than putting their internationals in the spotlight, and otherwise going with youth. Exeter have points in hand (and a big squad) so I can't see them doing anything other than squad rotation, and essentially treating it as a pre-season. Initially at least. Sale have a tiny squad, and don't really have the option of rotation. Leicester and Gloucester have new coaching regimes who can use this as a brilliant opportunity to run their eye over the entire squad, with nothing to lose (but both could really propel themselves up the table if the new crew inspires them). Everyone else is involved in a scrap of some description, and mostly with enough resources to have options. 10 points seperates 6th from 2nd; but the same gap also seperates 6th from 11th. [/QUOTE]
