Teams Up for The Cheats - Joe Starts.

[Heathen]

We will have 4 leaders on the pitch - Joe, Brad, Dan and Jimmy. That should give us better game management.

[Shugs]

Probably a half of Launchbury and a half of Gaskell with Fifita around to cover anything extra if needed. Bench wise looks good but I wonder

 how fit West and Morris are.

Morris is OK- he came on against Munster

Hope so. I know he came on but I had something in my mind about him picking up a head knock.

[Steve from Cov]

Sunday’s game is going to be a cracker but it’s going to be close.
As the game is not on tv I hope as many people as possible can make it to the game.
Despite the international call ups, Saracens have a strong starting xv but our bench looks pretty special.
Time for Atkinson to make his mark.

[JF]

Brilliant to see Launch returning, hope he hits his straps quickly.

Only 14 on the injured list? Luxury!

[baldpaul101]

strange no Carr, either in the 23 or listed as injured?

[Shugs]

He did pull up towards the end of the Munster game but it was put down to cramping. If fit he surely makes the squad.

[baldpaul101]

I too remembered him not looking to good at the end of the Munster game, but would have expected him on the unavailable list if he was broken.

[coddy]

Looks like a competitive team, surprised West doesn't start and Carr is not in the 23 even though not on the unavailable list.

Watson is a little disappointing for me. Joe straight in a worry.
Pretty solid team.

[Rugbyintheblood]

The front row doesn't bother me that much apart from Koch v Martinez.

Presumably Martinez propped opposite Koch when Argentina played SA in the Autumn? They’re both phenomenal scrummaging props so that’ll be a good match up.

He did pull up towards the end of the Munster game but it was put down to cramping. If fit he surely makes the squad.

You’ve also got to remember he’s come straight from a full season in SA so his body must be in bits

[Hymenoptera]

Watson is a little disappointing for me. Joe straight in a worry.
Pretty solid team.

Same..a kicking team like Sarries fills me with dread with Watson at the back.

[westwaleswasp]

I wonder if Watson will be renewed when the time comes.

[Peej]

That team really doesn't fill me with confidence. Think we're short big carriers, but hope that Fifita can bring some real athleticism to the back row. Now that he's leaving he may play an absolute worldie. No Cardall is a bit strange?

[Eezamarlowman]

Bumped into Brad and his lovely family this morning in Marlow and had a little chat. Asked him to smash the salary cheats tomorrow. He said “we are due one against them”. Seemed to be pretty confident but then I would expect nothing less from him ! 😀
