Stonking bench

[RagingBull]

Very happy with that.
Will give us a proper look at Bonilla as well with some fellow Argentines.

[JP14]

What a team!! I'm happy for Borthers' policy on not telling the media anything because it leads to surprises like this!

Just got to back it up with the performance.

[Scott1]

The bench is frightening!

[MCC1964]

Very happy with that.
Will give us a proper look at Bonilla as well with some fellow Argentines.

Yeah. Glad the lad is getting a start. He's much better than what we have seen so far.

[RunTigerRun]

I take back my comment about Moroni not being registered - I must have missed that.

What a backline that is - and a bench! Looking forwards to this game!

[Scott1]

Brive team anyone?

[RagingBull]

Quite like Borthwick no talking about injuries policies.

Makes the team sheet announcements more interesting

[TigerFeetSteve]

Woah

Awesome team should bring back the W

Love being surprised by Lavannini and Moroni

Think it should be a settler for Bonilla and Moroni havimg the other (fit) Argentines in the team.

Got to say the likes of Taute, Henry and Wallace are unlucky to miss out (on merit I wouldn't pick them above anyone else) but great depth in the squad.

[Robespierre]

Brive team anyone?

Not yet announced. I'm keeping an eye on their website and will post the team later this afternoon.

[kk20gb30]

Powerful selection , both starting and bench....

[sam16111986]

That's a really strong team. Pleasant surprises with Moroni and Lavanini featuring. I'm hoping to see some attacking fireworks with all those guys on the pitch. I just hope Steward is kicking for touch.

I like how Heyes, White and Steward are getting game time in a strong team with experience around them. Giving Cole a week (possibly two off) is a good call. Keep him for the Prem games.

Looking at the Brive squad on Wikipedia there's more than a smattering of Georgian's in there. Not many names I recognise in their current crop of players but lots of notables that have played there previously.

Very much like the look of that side. Will be interesting to see what input Wigglesworth has with him not being on the field.

[LE18]

Wow, that looks a great team, just hope I can find the channel to watch it, wish we could seem them in the flesh.
