Premiership Rugby Cup - Sarries vs Tigers

[ourla]

I think there are a few first choicers returning that need some game time, Spencer, Kitchener Cortes, don’t think Genge is too far away either

Murphy was playing it very cautious in an interview last week saying they would be giving him plenty of time and saying they still expect a December return. Probably targetting the Racing home and away European fixtures.

Is Murphy in charge for the PRC, or is Allen being given the reins?

Think Murphy said Brett is in charge for the PRC with AA assisting

[Jimmy Skitz]

Murphy said Veianu will get game time in the next couple of weeks in Prem cup so I expect he'll start at least one

[JP14]

I’ve got confirmation Brett Deacon is in charge.

For those travelling to Allianz Park I have been contacted by Alun Morgan of the Saracens Supporters, They have a new fans area The Oasis which is situated behind the North Stand near gate C, there will be live music, food and beer concessions and a Fine Masters Gin outlet which is a joint venture between Pat Cilliers and Michael Rhodes it is run by Rob Smith who used to work for Tigers. I am told the gin is great although personally I will stick to pints of bitter but the choice is yours. Good to meet up with their fans.

Christophe Ridley has the whistle this weekend.

Excellent. Should be a 50 point win then!

Pictures on Instagram seem to show Ellis taking a fuller part in training

Looks like Cameron Jordan will take some part and there will be a senior player contingent in order to “hold things together” according to Ant Allen.

Decent side that

[Soggypitch]

Yes but surprised Kitchener is not in the squad, having come off the bench last week.

Great to see Telusa back, and hope Owen also gets some game time over the next 3 weeks, as we'll need him match sharp against Glaws in the league.
