Tigers vs Gloucester - Teams Up

[jgriffin]

OK so have BT Sport code. Am I doomed to watch on tablet/ HDMI to TV or can I access on TV (Virgin or LG free channels)?

I have an LG TV and can cast directly from my phone/tablet to the TV using the screen sharing tab in the home page, and the smart screen feature on my phone.

Wow, will try that out later. Ta all of you.

Honestly first time in a long time I prefer all our back row too the opposition.
Glad Henderson is on the bench big fan of his.

Considering we are missing a lot of players it's a good team on paper worry about the centres would prefer it the other way around but guess numbers don't matter too much.
At least Gloucester centres are pretty straight forward runners and not the marchant type.

Good team, I'm going to say Leatigaga, Scott & Wallace are most likely unavailable due to Covid...

Who would you drop for Wallace?

[jgriffin]

Looking at the two sides, not a lot in it. Depends how much ball Cipriani gets on the front foot, and how good our defence is. Close score? I'd expect Tigers by a single score.

[RagingBull]

I don't expect a win with only 1 week together.
Shame De Bruin wasn't signed up sooner would've been really handy.

I would have gone for experience at 7 over Reffell for a first game with very limited preparation. Horses for courses happy with Reffell there. The other 2 nailed on would be in my 23 if available

We are currently 6th in table - will settle for that at the end of the season!

As ever it's going to be an 'interesting' watch.

It's all good and well looking at teams on paper, but a big factor is familiarity with each other. We just don't have that yet comapred to a side like Glaws (and a lot of other sides). What I hope for moving forward is an amount of consistency in selection so players simply have a chance to get to know each other on the field. Evolution not revolution. The issue will be if losses result in many more changes like we saw at the end of last season. It's a bit of a ctach-22, but change as much as anything esle is what has been killing us lately.

I like that side and think we can win this one.

Gloucester back line on paper looks outstanding!

Scary when you think May, Thorley, Harris and LRZ are all unavailable due to international call ups.

[kk20gb30]

Nothing to be overly scared of in that Gloucester line up.

[trendylfj]

A team I have no real squabbles with as I don't know who was not available. I am more interested in the way the team plays as well as how well they play. Hope that we have changed from the constant kick and chase and are more selective about its use.

Think you are overstating it, Bananaman, outstanding, Woodward, 12T, Sharples all seen better days

If that is a joke it's not funny.

If it is serious you need to stay of the sauce.

The frequent team changes at the end of last were not as a result of losses but far more the result of playing three games a week and the chance for SB to look at the squad he had available, particularly the young talent, and to experiment with various combinations. The fact that we could not be relegated allowed him to do this, otherwise team choice would have been very different.

It is a difficult start with the intervention of the virus closing training and players away on international duty but I am hopeful we can overcome this and get a win.

In the words of Bill, 'Keep the Faith'.
