Teams Up for Tiggs

[JonnyD]

Shoulder - looked like a dislocation at the time but clearly not that bad.
Young back from HIA protocols as well but thought Oghre might have been out for a while.

Looking forward to seeing Barbeary unleashed with a bit of freedom from the backrow

... Can parent’s be that cruel? 

Yes, as a former teacher, I saw more than a few. A girl I taught in Leamington had the name Jenna Taylor (you have to think a bit on that one). You would have thought it an uncommon name, but it isn't. Must be my twisted mind.

In my year at school, Mr and Mrs Hood's son, Robin.

[Raggs]

I've met a Mike Hunt. He swore he met a Phillip Micheal Hunt.

[Rossm]

I remember a school teacher - Mr Urine.

[Garuda]

I went to school with a Mark Hunt.

Anyway, back to the team - I would have swapped Oghre and Barbeary around. Gabby really impressed from the back row recently.

[NellyWellyWaspy]

Just imagine, they could swap during the game at any time to confuse the tigers players.

[JonnyD]

Think it gives Barbeary chance to play without having to worry about scrum time or line outs. He’ll have the freedom to just roam around making tackles, hitting rucks and getting his hands on the ball more.

Tom Cruse must be absolutely battered after Sarries so the longer he can stay on the bench the better I think

[DGP Wasp]

I remember a school teacher - Mr Urine.

Does his son now play scrum half for Bristol??

[WonkyWasp]

The Olympic rider Pippa Funnell was christened Phillipa. She prefers Pippa.

I've met a few people with embarrassing names, but they all pale into insignificance next to the guy I met who was given the name Fuk Yu Tu.

Thing is, that's a different language, these things happen.  But meeting someone with English speaking parents naming their kids like Mike Hunt etc, you have to wonder.

[Mellie]

Solid team. I can’t remember who, but someone here had calculated the number of minutes played by each player over the rolling last 3 games. Would be great to have an update if possible.

If Tom Cruse and Jimmy play no more than 20 minutes and Si Mac doesn't have to do more than 75, the whole squad are eligible for the entire Bristol game.

I was anticipating players like Launch, Brad,  Dobby and Jacob to be on the bench to keep them fresher for 2 games in 4 days but I suspect the plan is to blitz the Tigers early and bring players off if we can get a substantial lead.

Surprised Lima isn't involved. The backs may be a bit different for Bristol given this selection.

[JonnyD]

Lima’s out with a hamstring isn’t he?

Yes
