A very very very strong team, seems the rumours that 3/4 of the Bath team were injured and wouldn't play was misinformationmariochanvelli wrote:Bath Rugby team to face Leicester Tigers

Re: Teams up vs Bath
No McCaffrey, Betham or Kitto. Very surprised at the first two and very surprised Williams doesn't start in place of Fitzgerald. Still believe we can win this!

Re: Teams up vs Bath
Last week I suggested that Bath were resting players and had not fielded a 'full strength team' as someone had alluded.Chobbsy wrote:A very very very strong team, seems the rumours that 3/4 of the Bath team were injured and wouldn't play was misinformationmariochanvelli wrote:Bath Rugby team to face Leicester Tigers

I was told that they were injured and I was 'fishing'.
I expect it should be fairly obvious that they were, indeed being rested.

McCaffrey was training with a pink bob on during the week along with BOC so guessing McCaffrey didn't pass the fitness test.strawclearer wrote:No McCaffrey, Betham or Kitto.

Kitto out for a while.
Betham guess Tait and Roberts preferred currently.

Re: Teams up vs Bath
Just can't believe M Williams is not starting! Also where are Bateman and/or Cilliers? Locky incredibly unlucky not to be in the 23. Kitto must be injured. I'm hopeful but far from confident.

Yup! That's my frame of mind too! (not sure which smiley thing to use to illustrate this though!)Robespierre wrote:Aren't we all, Soggy!Soggypitch wrote:Just can't believe M Williams is not starting!

Re: Teams up vs Bath
I really really don't see what Cilliers has done wrong, apart from the yellow card in his first appearance I thought he has been great when he has played, he can't have got on the wrong side of MOC alreadyMaidman wrote:Yup!

Re: Teams up vs Bath
Muprhy and the other coaches picked the team, not MOC.
Re: Teams up vs Bath
Surely Murphy & Blaze picked this side-MOC has only been there a day!

Re: Teams up vs Bath
Will be very interesting to see how we go...I think JJ could get an edge on Tait and Faletau will again show us how much we miss a top class 8..other than this our pack looks better than theirs I would say and hopefully we can get an edge there...
I think there are going to be a few tries which is great..Faletau anytime with the Lions announcement looming is a cert for me
