No 10 for Saints game???
Interesting dilemma for RC given that Fred and Owen are never usually fit at the same time.
Who do the forum want to see at 10 this Saturday? I'll take Fred… decent game against Saracens and kicking well. Also think OW probably needs a couple more games under his belt…
What do others think?

Freddy for me with Owen on the bench - 40 mins each

Re: No 10 for Saints game???
We cannot play without one I would go with Owen, his physicality is badly needed against Saints
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

I think O'Connor is more important than which 10 we use.TigerCam wrote:Freddy for me with Owen on the bench - 40 mins each

Re: No 10 for Saints game???
The Saints back row has been very poor Dickinson, Harrison and Gibson are a second string unit so for O'Connor, McCafferey and whoever dons the 6 jersey they must look to dominate here..floridaboy wrote:I think O'Connor is more important than which 10 we use.TigerCam wrote:Freddy for me with Owen on the bench - 40 mins each
Dickinson is not premiership standard yet imo..

Guessing we'll have Crane / Fonua at 8, BOC at 7 and McCaffrey or Fitz at 6JackFlashJonny wrote:The Saints back row has been very poor Dickinson, Harrison and Gibson are a second string unit so for O'Connor, McCafferey and whoever dons the 6 jersey they must look to dominate here..floridaboy wrote:I think O'Connor is more important than which 10 we use.TigerCam wrote:Freddy for me with Owen on the bench - 40 mins each

Re: No 10 for Saints game???
For the back row personally I'd go for BOC at 7 and McCaffrey and Pearce as 6 & 8. I'm not sure Fonua has done enough to merit the starting place yet.

Re: No 10 for Saints game???
Oops I forgot about Pearce...O'Connor will be at 7..and then McCafferey will be at 6 or 8 so it is then between Fonua, Pearce & Fitzgerald for me..I think Crane is just injury cover now (or I hope at least )
Re: No 10 for Saints game???
If fit I'd put Williams at 10and give Burns a rest and have Tommy Bell on the subs bench. My team would be.
Backs Veianu, Thompstone, Betham, Smith, Goneva, Williams & Youngs B.
Forwards: Ayerza ,Youngs T, Cole, Slater, Fitzgerald, Croft, O'Connor,
and Pearce.
Subs: Thacker, Mullipola, Balmain, Kitchener, McCaffrey.
Harrison, Bell and Tait.

I think Fitz will come in at lock alongside Kitch. Let Barrow bring his aggression on for the last 20!JackFlashJonny wrote:Oops I forgot about Pearce...O'Connor will be at 7..and then McCafferey will be at 6 or 8 so it is then between Fonua, Pearce & Fitzgerald for me..I think Crane is just injury cover now (or I hope at least )
Re: No 10 for Saints game???
I'd go with Freddie, i think he seems to be playing well and he is has the shirt as they say.

Re: No 10 for Saints game???
Do we expect De Villiers or Manu outside the 10?
