[happywomble]

A fairly hefty front five! We going to bash them into submission?

Gosh, I didnt quite realise how heavy!

Not sure pairing two small lightweight centers is a recipe for success. Crash ball doesn't seem an attacking option.

Crazy that Mako is playing for Sarries and not for England.

But from the strongest Sarries side that has travelled to Welford Road in recent seasons.

I see we have the battle of the Reffell's at 7!!

Big coincidence or are they actually related?

Are Liebenberg and Lavanini rested or are they injured?

No mention so I presume a case of rotation. Lavanini has played a lot of games for us this season. Makes sense to give him a week off he's been massive for us and we want to see what Batley can bring to the table. Liebenburg has played a few games in succession after injury so is probably due a break as well.

We've got Sarries and Chiefs in the next two weeks. Sarries are strong at home but Chiefs have looked a touch wobbly of late. After that there's two key games with Bath at WR and then Castres. Sarries were always going to name a strong team for this game so makes sense to rest those who need it this week.

Sione Kalamafoni to captain Leicester...
Vastly underrated player, massive work rate and effort - hopefully the rest of the side will follow his example.
Really hope he's with us next year as an awful lot of his time thus far has been spent running into brick-walls and up blind alleys with little or no support.Would really want to see this guy as part of a dominant pack.

They aren't related I don't think, Sean has England U18 and 20 caps and a home counties accent.

7-6 to Sarries 35mins, Spencer with a huge 35m carry, swatted aside Kpoku and a couple others on the way

[CitizenSmiff]

Was that....a missed pass! It's been too long old friend!
