[Downsouth]

I hope Cole is just being rested.

Massive opportunity for Kitto.

Looks like all our England boys are out of the 23?

Strong bench in regard of the forwards - what's not to like.

[Roly]

2nd row combo is a good shout.

[Bunchy]

I also like the forwards on the bench for second half impact....

BY and DC being rested - this one was "targeted" for their downtime as part of EPS agreement to coincide with them being away for the week with EJ

[Iain]

I have my fingers crossed for a Toomua appearance next weekend north of the border.

Worcester Warriors

Head Coach Carl Hogg makes three changes to the Warriors starting line-up for Saturday's visit to Welford Road to face Leicester Tigers in the Aviva Premiership (kick-off 3pm).

Dean Hammond returns to the side on the wing, while fly-half Ryan Lamb and hooker Jaba Bregvadze are handed starting spots.

Meanwhile, Ben Te'o returns to the squad among the replacements and there is also a place for hooker Matti Williams on the bench, who could be set for his Warriors debut.

[Iain]

Ahh the return of Ryan Lamb. How I miss those maverick loopy long passes with interception written all over them, and how glad I am to see them again. All the better for not being in a Tigers shirt.

[Big Dai]

I want a defence tighter than my uncle Solly's wallet and an attack as ruthless as the marauding Hun.

Not bothered about pretty-boy rugby. A dour drubbing of the opposition would do me.

I'll be listening to Steve and Bleddyn so I hope the despair squid stays away. ....Dwayne Dibley?

I am with you on this one BD. I dont care if we win every game 6-3 for the rest of the season.

Surely 7-3; we need some trys

[tigerburnie]

If we win all the games from now on we won't need to score tries, though that nice Mr Penalty hasn't been on the score sheet as much as he used to

COME ON YOU TIGERRRRrrrrsssss

[Noddy555]

Let's just hope that the selected team can deliver the goods, but I do applaud two moves, the selection of Dom Barrow in the Engine room and Harry Thacker's appearance on the bench.

I was thinking more about four ugly pushover tries, maybe a penalty try too?
