Tigers v Bristol - 27th April 2019

[Mark62]

In answer to a few things.

he is not saying they will get 5 points. He is saying they are taking it one game at a time - so Leicester is another 5 points to play for, then move on etc etc

As for question about Jonah - unfortunately gone for the season - knee ligaments

Manu is likely to miss Bris and Quins regrettably. Telusa unlikely to feature this term either. Eastmonds hammy has been bad for a few weeks, unlikely to feature v Bris or Quins either.
We are very short in centre and back 3 for next 2 matches at least.

Veianu named on the bench for the development side

[Scott1]

We could have an electric back 3 next week if everyone comes through unscathed!

[Scott1]

Reading between the lines it sounds like the back 5 will be
Spencer
Kitchener
Williams
Thompson
Kalamafoni

Fitzgerald and BoC on bench.

Squeaky bum time again!! Just need the Saints to do a job on the Falcons Friday night to help out

.......and if they don't it will be more of a rasp than a squeak.

Newcastle lose and it's all over,they won't win at Gloc.

Karl Dickson, the former Harlequins scrum-half, is Sir.

I was impressed the last time I watched a match when he was Sir. It probably won’t be long before he’s on the Test match list of Sirs.

Certainly being fast tracked and a decent ref. Still haven’t forgiven him for not giving BOC a penalty try against Saracens

My Saints-in-laws reckon they're up for it as closing down top 6 and onwards, certain improvement in last few weeks. I hope so, dirty though it makes me feel......

[Scott1]

4th place is still on for them too.

[JP14]

I reckon Quins might beat us but loose every other game, finishing 5th or 6th with Saints taking 4th.

Exeter
Saracens
Gloucester
Northampton
Wasps
Harlequins
Sale
Bath
Bristol
Leicester
Newcastle
Worcester.

This would be disappointing I think, as it's a good opportunity to play BOC and Guy together (with either Kalamafoni or Fitzgerald). They're both hard working 7.5s, good at slowing down opposition ball (important vs Bris), quick (also important), and carry and link well.

I know we lose some size that way, but with Spencer and Genge I think that's ok.

[Mark62]

Coverage of a recent Gloucester game and they put up Ben Morgan’s stats and he was only 2 ahead of Khalamafoni, who is also right up there in the tackle stats.

There is no way if he is match fit, that Khalamafoni won’t be starting on Saturday

Yep agreed, would go:
6. Guy
7. BOC
8. Kalamafoni

19. Wells
20. Fitzgerald
