Re: Saracens v Leicester Tigers XV 12th December 2020
I think Taute is likely to be on the bench if not starting. Personally we want to focus on ones like Henry, Taute, Wallace etc who have genuinely got a good chance of being in and around the main 23 if there's injuries, then go from there.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Perhaps Mamu might get a bit of game time? That being said the last thing we need is him (or anyone!) picking up an injury on the fake turf. Not sure I'd risk anyone who might be needed in the Premiership anytime soon so wouldn't risk Taute... give the lad a rest. That said could be good game time for Henry so expect him to feature.RagingBull wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 12:17 pm So what we looking at?

You don't want Tautes knees anywhere near a fake pitch.

Think this will give us a really good insight into the current pecking order in SB’s eyes!
Would love to see Browning get a start over Olowofela!

Re: Saracens v Leicester Tigers XV 12th December 2020
Will also be very interested to see what game plan is utilised and whether it bears a resemblance to anything employed by the first team.Successful sides have tended to have a core method or doctrine that runs throughout the club and their various sides with players interchangeable as they know what to do and 'how to play'.

You especially notice it with Chiefs and Wasps,and obviously Sarries too.kk20gb30 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 8:17 am Will also be very interested to see what game plan is utilised and whether it bears a resemblance to anything employed by the first team.Successful sides have tended to have a core method or doctrine that runs throughout the club and their various sides with players interchangeable as they know what to do and 'how to play'.

Have Tigers actually acknowledged this game?

I have not seen anything to confirm we are actually playing a game against the Sorries on the official site.

Ok so no Olowofela, Hardwick or Lewis in the development team (at least starting) which shows how far down the pecking order they are.RagingBull wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 11:31 pm Starting XV

Intrested to see how Henry does at 15, think with Ford back they're looking at where else Henry can cover.
