Looks a really good team. Having looked at the other teams that clubs are putting out I'd say we are the strongest and most experienced - again I think Sarries are the biggest threat, but if I still gambled I'd put a fair bit on us to win.
Backdoc - totally agree (well done on the team too - closer than me!), last year we were knocked by the final. If I remember rightly though we had picked up quite a few knows and injuries and had to play the last two games with the same team and hardly any replacements so that would have been a factor. Bit more experience this year plus better options for rotations. I think you're right that it will be two scrum halves, 2 fly halves, the flyers (and Neal) rotating round wing and centre and then others (including Neal again) rotating round the three forward positions.
