Hopefully the whole 23 will give another good performance as they did in Paris? If they play with the same determination and spirit then they will win!!voice of the crumbie wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 4:35 pmCorrect. Luckily we have Toomua back.

Re: Tigers v Racing
Holmes at 15.
White still preferred to YBY.
Kitchener in for Wells. 6/2 split on the bench again. Would prefer to see Thompson at 6 with Fitz on bench but a good side that has a fighting chance.

Re: Tigers v Racing
Me too! Thompson seems to bring more energy and commitment that's been lacking recently.Soggypitch wrote: ↑Fri Dec 14, 2018 12:07 pm Holmes at 15.

Re: Tigers v Racing
I wouldn't be surprised to see a late change to this team either - sure JH is still going through protocols so must be a risk
Less is more....
Re: Tigers v Racing
Is Denton still out with a head injury from the Saints match at Twickenham?

Re: Tigers v Racing
Not convinced by 6:2 on the bench what happens if one of the back 3 is injured?

Re: Tigers v Racing
Noteworthy changes are Chavancy in the centre, Donnacha Ryan in the 2nd row, Machanaud on the bench (although Iribaren had a very good match last Sunday and Zebo in his best position at fullback.ourla wrote: ↑Fri Dec 14, 2018 12:16 pm Racing 92: 15 Simon Zebo, 14 Louis Dupichot, 13 Virimi Vakatawa, 12 Henry Chavancy (c), 11 Juan Imhoff, 10 Finn Russell, 9 Teddy Iribaren; 1 Guram Gogichashvili, 2 Ole Avei, 3 Ben Tameifuna, 4 Donnacha Ryan, 5 Leone Nakarawa, 6 Baptiste Chouzenoux, 7 Bernard Le Roux, 8 Antonie Claassen

This is another strong Racing team but my eternal optimism tells me that Tigers could sneak it if they get some early points on the board.

Re: Tigers v Racing
Owen can play FB and White on the wing at a push. May covers FB too. Not ideal but just about covered.

It will be a huge boost when we get him back

Re: Tigers v Racing
Slightly disappointed GT is on the bench, would have liked to see us play 2 7/8s. Big opportunity to get a win at home and good to have a bit of consistency in the back line.
Re: Tigers v Racing
Thompson for me, too.
If they play with the same spirit and attitude on Sunday, they will a lot of malcontents over, myself included
