Go for broke vs Bath, 5 points and the best team we can manage. For one of the away games, I would consider a rest for one or two if we have that luxury, realisitically they are harder and the most important thing is to not screw up vs Bath, because that then takes away choices down the line and puts pressure on. Rotate from a position of strength, sure, but also don't do it in the easier games, do it in the harder ones.

I would have Spink on instead of Fekitoa.

He’s looking good and growing in stature with every game and deserves the opportunity.

Spink’s been great. But Fekitoa had a huge impact v Sarries and his power burst got us back in the game v Chiefs. Nice problem to have.

Will we have any of the U20 lads available? Players like Nearchou, Hardwick, Hartley, Cripps, Bell, Ma'asi White, Hawkins, Anderson, Mehson, Fislau, Eckersley, Monye for Premiership Cup. Keen to watch the U20s for Hardwick, Fislau, Cripps, Bell and Dawkins... see how they play.

You could see them in last Fridays U20s match. Still on the Beeb. Probably some will feature in the next match.

None of them will get near the Bath match.
Let me tell you something cucumber

Doubt any of those names mentioned will be anywhere near contention, except potentially Mehson. U20 lads won’t be recalled, some are off at uni and others serving their time well at their loan clubs.
Definitely do not want to look at Bath as a guaranteed 5 points as it will become a banana skin.
We have to go all in, apart from Brad maybe needing a break with his stinger. Mills might start instead of Jimmy and now Gaskell and Cardall come in for Launchbury
