Re: Wuss
I just don't understand that selection.
Picked a really light and fast backline but then picked the most ponderous back row possible?
Slightly concerned about this game, will be tight.
No Manu, Burns, Ben Youngs, Fitz and Cole changes the team dramatically.

Squad rotation and keeping class players to either push home an advantage as the game breaks up or not - in the case of Dan - to give them a rest. expect to see Smithy on later to get the rust cleared. Will Evans will come on if we're not shading the breakdowns - indeed surprised he's not starting.
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Re: Wuss
I'm surprised we've made as many changes in the pack as we have, I'll be honest. Some forced, some less so.
I'm sure it will all make sense. I suppose some of this is building up match fitness for a big run in.

I would have picked a quicker backrow to complement that backline.
Croft, Evans, McCafferey.
Don't think that selection compliments the backline. Agreed re Cole having a rest

Guessing the width of the pitch will mean it isn't as big an issue.darganj wrote:Read what I say.jgriffin wrote:Anything else to moan about?darganj wrote:I just don't understand that selection.
