The loss against Worcester back in December was a real low point so I'm hoping and expecting that we can avenge that in some way.
Worcester may also have the Premiership Cup semi final in the back of their minds. The other three clubs are all competing (in one way or another) in the league and Europe with Worcester being the only ones with nothing else to play for so Dimes may think that if he gat get a trophy it will at least get a little bit of a winning atmosphere. The semi is on Wednesday so that may impact their selection for this weekend. In his press release yesterday Dimes name dropped Simpson, Smith, Heward, Heale, Doel, Howe and Atkinson as likely to play against Gloucester so it might be a bit much to ask them to play bot Sat and Wed - I willbe interested to see their teamsheet tomorrow.
Worcester are also having a complete overhaul under Diamond - 12 new players coming in and quite a few off I believe so not sure how that will be affecting morale etc at the moment.
If we can get five points then everything looks a bit open and interesting - Sale have the week off, Irish miss the last weekend and we play both. Saints are missing Lawes and Biggar and have some tricky games. Play-offs are surely beyond us but we could get up to 6th which would be a good season imo.
Not sure on the 80 min performance, as people have said on other threads, a lot depends on the opposition and sometimes the rub of the green that can see you starved of the ball for long periods.
I'd like to see Mills playing against his former club but otherwise the team looks like it is working well at the moment.
