Sale vs Tigers

[Mark62]

Joe Ford deserves to start after his performance on Saturday. The key for him is to now back that up with another good performance

[Scuttle]

Harry Simmons to start at 9 for me. Interesting to see that no-one is suggesting a change at 10. Has Joe Ford 'come of age' on this forum after his MotM performance vs Pests? Nobody advocating Hardwick against Sale?

I think it's prudent to play Ford at Sale, he can interpret some of their NorthWest calls, always handy to have a native speaker to help disrupt.....

(Yes, I know they have a few Boks......)

Here was me thinkiing you meant North West Transvaal.

With Cole most likely to be playing for England, I think Heyes to start and Fe’ao on the bench.

I don't think Fred Tuilagi will be in the squad for Sale but why oh why does Mark 62 repeatedly dismiss Fred's very good performances in A league and Premier Cup in favour of an opinion formed about the player when he was still at school?
It is my belief that Murph did not want to field a bench of six forwards, circumstances late last week created a situation where there was no alternative.

I feel as though those “circumstances” might still stand for this week.

Where as these Cole for England rumours coming from. He is one of 3 tight heads in the squad along with the 2 who trained against Georgia last week

Whoever is in the squad, Sale away will be a hard nut to crack.

At best he’ll make Tigers bench for Sale if not involved for England.

Squad will be cut Wednesday if he isn’t with England he will start against Sale, it’s not as though he’s got any complicated moves to learn

[JP14]

True but en tout he needs a rest!

He’s got 2 weeks off after this he can go and be a Viking for a week

he won't be picked for England - its Italy so Harry Williams will get a start to see what he can do.
