Yep very similar. I’d like to see Martin keep up his game time as he’s really performing well and hasn’t had many minutes this season. Like Porter on the bench as a utility back. I’d switch Green back in for some experience against Bath and give Henderson a week off. Otherwise pretty much the sameScott1 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 3:01 pmNice!

He got very little game time with England and hasn’t actually played a huge amount this season. I would go:
1. Genge
2. Youngs
3. Cole
4. Wells
5. Lavanini
6. Martin
7. Wallace
8. Weise
9. Youngs
10. Ford
11. Muri
12. Kelly
13. Moroni
14 . Potter
15. Steward
DeBruin, Clare, Heyes, Green, Chessum, JVP, McPhillips, Porter

Re: Away vs Bath 18th April
All fit players will want to play and especially Martin who hasn’t played much all season.
Zac Henry has, and that includes Ford, been the best at kicking penalties to touch but like McPhillips his kicking for goal is nowhere near as good as Ford.
Agree that Genge needs to be in all the squads as he hasn’t played much.
Scrum half: Young’s and JVP as Spencer is a huge player for them.
It will be interesting what Bath do as Watson hasn’t been rested yet.
Their pack is now at almost full strength and Zac Mercer and Falatau are excellent players so it’s a shame Hanro will be out.
Will Brink be fit!
All games are huge now and there’s no time like the present to try to make something special happen! Top 4?

Re: Away vs Bath 18th April
Think I’d read that Moroni has started the last 11 games? If that’s right I wouldn’t be surprised to see him given a breather and Taute come in for him this week.

Re: Away vs Bath 18th April
Think that was a mistake, he did rest out of the Exeter game where Kelly and Scott performed quite well as a centre partnership
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Re: Away vs Bath 18th April
Think that it is more likely that they would put Scott at 13 and bring in Kelly. Scott has been very consistent and makes excellent defensive decisions.
Re: Away vs Bath 18th April
Yes I would prefer Scott at 13. But I would like to see Taute tried at 12 too at some point.

Re: Away vs Bath 18th April
Always was Sunday as far as I was aware? Could be wrong though but it's on my Sky planner as Sunday 3pm on BT Sport 1 from 2pm...

Re: Away vs Bath 18th April
I don't think so.
He was a very good 7's player and can play across the back line with fullback being the preferred back line position. That said I suspect he could play inside center if needed.

Re: Away vs Bath 18th April
I wouldn’t be surprised if we swopped the bench over from the Falcons game. Fresher legs and get maximum use of a now extended and highly capable squad of 23+. Some key figures in certain positions that give us that spine are essential but rotation of players around this spine is highly likely. Who and where on the pitch is anyone’s guess ...but I now believe that we can bring a squad to truly compete at all our games from now

Who gives a monkeys about a UK team , selected for political reasons, when the only thing that matters is Leicester Tigers getting back to No 1 . Borthwick undoubtedly will achieve that, so thank heaven he turned it down..
