Same team as today with maybe Lavanini starting and if fit Liebenberg starting at 6, with JVP on the bench.

Think the semi final is more important now the outside chance of 4th has gone. I think the young guys like Reffell,Kelly and Martin etc need a rest too. Always want to beat Saints but I would rotate and go full bore v Ulster. That game defines our season now for me.

We can but are you suggesting we go first choice in both and don’t hold anything back? Maybe we go full bore v Saints and go Connacht like v Ulster.

Because we're not quite there yet...
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?

what we can't play back to back rugby?
Didn't we put out the same team back to back v Connacht and Falcons? What's the difference

Borths selections don’t suggest we will do that though but let’s see.

Less flippantly, don't Genge and Ford need one more rest weekend still?

Did we? Not sure but there were about 7/8 changes from Newcastle and today’s game so who knows what Borths will do.

So far this season, we have seen whatever side Borthwick has selected has been competitive and expect the same for next week.

I think if Borthwick was to pick a "changed" team it would be the challenge cup game.
