Saints team is interesting ....that's one hell of a bench ! 15 James Ramm 14 George Hendy 13 Tom Litchfield 12 Fraser Dingwall 11 Tom Seabrook 10 George Furbank 9 Alex Mitchell 1 Alex Waller 2 Curtis Langdon 3 Elliot Millar Mills 4 Alex Moon 5 Temo Mayanavanua 6 Alex Coles 7 Lewis Ludlam (c) 8 Juarn...

No Martin or Hanro !

Hutchinson to step into the 12 slot ?

Has anyone else watched/listened to this yet ? The whole show is an interview with Borthwick about his playing and coaching career, from being picked up at Bath to being the main man for England. I wouldn't say he's completely opened up and let out his darkest secrets, but it's worth a look, to unde...

But obviously the kicking needs to be spot on and the chase needs to be great.

The signs since JVP has come back have been good, in terms of contestable box kicks.

That's an interesting stat, let's hope that we're suitably fired up, in the style that we were in Dublin at couple of weeks ago. Concentration is going to be key and physicality needs to be off the chart to knock them off of their game.

In previous meetings, we've had the upper hand in the set piece and the breakdown, I don't think that will be the case now. Where we've looked vulnerable has been around the fringes, defensively in the 10/12 channel and if teams can get around the blitz defence. With Saints speed of ball and the way...

We may as well scrap the venues for both finals and just use Kingsholm and the RDS.....

I guess if we keep saying “Marchant” it may happen ! Haven’t seen anything in writing or on social media that in any way links him to us. Or Simmonds for that matter.

I’m not getting excited about Marchant, given there’s not even a bad rumour out there. If all we’ve got is “he’s coming back to the Prem”, then we have a 1 in 9 chance of him joining us, assuming Sarries are content with just Spink joining them.

Nat 1 is a great league, very competitive and anyone can beat anyone on their day. It's full of players that, for one reason or another, didn't get taken on at Premiership level, then a lot of players moved down to the Championship. Unless you're with one of the few clubs that are full-time, trying ...

Any idea why or where he’s off to?

Bristol.

I heard and unsubstantiated rumour that Bristol are after Sam Edwards as well.

I've heard Edwards to Bristol as well. Cusick and Koroyoidi possibly to Ealing.

Indeed, and they said that about Ireland, that with McCarthy in the row, it was the missing link in terms of increasing their physicality, in order to compete with the Boks and others. Look how that turned out.Same with Leinster. Toulouse, Bordeaux or La Rochelle to win it for me. O'Gara will have s...

Will be good to see Cockers back in town

Cusick is leaving, from what I've heard.
