So breakdown
6 Senior players

5 Cov players
2 Lough players.

I counted 7 senior players???

Tigers will do well not to get hammered, but I believe Gigena and Heyes can stand up in the scrum.

Oh yeh.

That saints winger must nearly be the heaviest player on the pitch, Holmes has got a massive challenge tonight.

Wont they give penalties away if they do that?....

Such a shame the game is not being staged at Welford Road . I could perhaps understand if it was in the middle of January and our Welford Road Pitch was struggling , but not at the start of the Season . The costs of staging the game at Loughborough cannot be much less and the number of Supporters who attend will be far less than if the game was at Welford Road , particularly as it is Northampton we are playing . Just a few years ago we were getting attendances of 7000 + at A Games at Welford Road with a 7.00pm k.o and it seems that the Club have forgotten not only how to attract the young supporter , but are p***** off the old supporters by making it as difficult as possible to get to matches . We are supposed to have 50,000 members of the Junior Tiger Club - I wonder how many of them will attend a 7.30pm k.o in Loughborough tonight - very few I suggest .

According to the Saints website Naiyaravoro, is 115kg heavy, might be a shift for 119kg Tuilagi to keep him at bay.

I feel sorry for Holmes, another classic MOC non-favourite?
