Argh! that well known Spencer doppelgänger
Re: Sarries vs Leicester
Maybe it is Frank Spencer. Distract the opposition at every line-out.

Re: Sarries vs Leicester
Probably a better chance of success than our usual strategy of having TPN put the ball into low earth orbit...
No, not that one!
Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...
I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Re: Sarries vs Leicester
Apologies Fentiger, I thought I had put down Wells to start, corrected now.

Re: Sarries vs Leicester
I think that we may be targeting the home games so wouldn’t surprise me to see some rotation especially given the artificial pitch and higher risk of injuries.

Re: Sarries vs Leicester
It pains me to say it but I can only see Salarycens second-string giving us an absolute hiding.
Re: Sarries vs Leicester
Yep. I remember last year (?) Veanu coming back after first game after injury - what was it jaw - and in first few minutes on that horrible surface wrecking his ankle? Out for months.

Re: Sarries vs Leicester
Usually upbeat but just cant see anything other than a nil pointer and injuries.
Re: Sarries vs Leicester
To be honest I reckon we may as well sacrifice this and the game against Exeter. Without a full 1st team I cant see us getting anything out of either. Then go for it once the England boys are back.
Bonus is I can't see Irish, Worcester, Bath or Gloucester getting anything from their games this coming weekend either so table will look pretty similar.

Re: Sarries vs Leicester
The positives are that this match may give more game time to inexperienced youngsters whilst preserving our key players. However, I fear another abysmal performance and heavy defeat. It would be great if our line out and kicking game is fit for purpose.
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity
Re: Sarries vs Leicester
Our kicking game especially from White was on the money last week.

Re: Sarries vs Leicester
Not from where I was sitting, the kicking out of hand including Macphillips and use of the wind when we had it was second best compared to Worcester in terms of meterage made.
Yes White did with great success put the ball behind the Worcester rush defence but he struggled against the wind in meterage made more than his opposite number.
