Teams Up for Hairy Queens - Paolo and Malakai are the Centres

[Heathen]

Could be a captivating encounter if the Care/Smith and Robson/Umaga combos are firing on all cylinders, plus some of us have, at last, got our wish to see the 12/13 pairing we have craved for.

Big day for Jacob.
Smith has absolutely outclassed him over the last two or three times they’ve come up against eachother - hope Jacob manages to continue to build on the confidence he showed last week

Yup. I've been a big critic of Umaga this season but I am seeing signs of much improvement. I'd just about given up on him but am now suspecting he's on an unstoppable upward curve. Smith has been class so I'll settle for parity in this particular game.

Odogwu/Fekitoa I've been wanting to see for a long time. Fekitoa won caps for NZ at 12 (and looked good) but everyone seems to have forgotten that. But right now that could go either way. Quins fans are nervous about Northmore at 12 so we're all nervous. Marchant could come out smelling of roses just by vitue of being the only regular centre.

Otherwise the Wasps team is impressive given our injuries right now. Hope Miller gets gets a full 80, he deserves it for once.

With Fekitoa at 12, their 12 and back row are going to focus on him, giving Robson and Umaga the freedom to to dummy and go through. Once they have done that a few times, the defence is not going to be wanting to spread and drift, leaving Fekitoa and Odogwu the freedom to break tackles. Bring Bassett in and you have the recipe for some interesting plays.

I just hope Jacob and Dan don't push too many deep kicks, as Quins will bring those back at us with interest.

I agree. The selection will give Wasps some options.

[Shugs]

Surprised to hear the Quins fans are nervous about Northmore - he always looks a good player to me.

Hope the intricate backs move that sometimes come through Booj as first receiver and Jacob looping round the back still are as slick with Fekitoa at 12.
Perhaps moves will change and have him as the dummy runner at times

Has every result gone our way so far this w/e!? Just one more little win to go…

I’d say the Glaws win wasn’t ‘helpful’. We’re now equal on points and bar their game against Bristol next week, they can win their remaining fixtures.

Yes would say that wasn't helpful. Also lets hope Bath don't get a Cipriani "bounce" when he joins next week!
