Re: cheer ourselves up - Racing v Tigers
Racing have a big pack, not many back options.
6-2 makes sense too me.

The good thing with the backs included is that Toomua can slot in at 10 if Ford goes off. If Toomua or Tuilagi go off, Smith can replace them and if Holmes goes off, Thompstone or May can go to full back. If either wingers go off, Smith can replace them.

Sensible selection . Wells deserves his place ahead of Kitchenor as does Fitzgerald over Williams . Glad Thompson is on the mend .

Re: cheer ourselves up - Racing v Tigers
Always think Williams play better in the second row and Fitzgerald on the flank so happy with the selection. The pack to be fair looks really strong so should be a good game.

Easy win for us.
Re: cheer ourselves up - Racing v Tigers
I hope we don't have to see Smith defending against any of the Racing back 3.

Not the team I would've picked but good luck to them, I think they'll need a bit of it!

Apologies for not using an emoji to show it was meant as a joke. In future, do you want me to start my sentence with "JOKE (sense of humour required)" so you can differentiate?
I have to do this for some users on here to point out when my opinion is an opinion as they are unable to differentiate opinions from facts.

Re: cheer ourselves up - Racing v Tigers
Maybe it's a hint to Ben Youngs to start playing like he does for England or he won't be starting
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!
Re: cheer ourselves up - Racing v Tigers
I just hope they decide to perform for us, and they just might, after all the goings on this week, they could sneak a win here you know, especially if they can get into Finn Russell, he has been known to have some shocking games!
Re: cheer ourselves up - Racing v Tigers
You never know......the odd unjust sending off and a couple of simultaneous sinbins for Racing and I may be swigging Remy again.
Otherwise .............life behind the setee is getting depressing!
Good luck fellahs!
