What an outstanding looking team, the back row could be devastating, MVS and Jasper working in tandem will certainly have Worcester on the back foot, SB is putting together an immense squad, hoping for 5 more points!!

Really impressed with this line up. Just thinking where you would want to upgrade if you could. May be second row?

Yep, second row is the one obvious area. The locks we've got have performed very well but after the issues Isiekwe caused us almost single-handedly I do still think we might struggle in that area against top partnerships such as Itoje/Isiekwe and Gray/Hill. George Kruis would be a near ideal signing in that regard.

A starting XV signing like Kruis to partner Wells with Martin then looking to overtake Wells in time, plus Chessum and Henderson pushing to overtake Green and Snyman in time would be a great place to be.

Exciting looking squad
I will be there

Best team we’ve fielded for many years .. I just hope they can live up to what we now expect of them … as SB says we are still very much a team in development and one assumes there will be downs as well as ups .. let’s hope not this week.
I’m sure he will be drilling in the need to avoid complacency

He shouldn't need to mention complacency. Virtually every member of the squad has a readymade replacement. Even players like Weise and Montoya, we've been winning games without them if they don't show up well the guys that were in the winning side will come back in to replace them next week. Competition for places drives performance because everyone of those guys has a competitive nature and wants to play.

Excited for this one - just need Weise to behave himself mind…

I was thinking that as well. Keep 15 men on the pitch and good chance of win

That's such a terrible side. Our recruitment has been awful, how have we let it get to this?

I wish games were won on paper

Too long standing on the Crumbie rail, listening to the old farts around the tunnel.

Based on that according to you we would have been smashed by Exeter...

But played too much like they'd had too many Stella's
