This is our best XV in my opinion although you could argue Kelly for Scott or Martin for Chessum in fairness

If fit I'd take Liebenberg over Chessum and Martin, at present and with absolutely no disrespect to either of the younger guys, Hanro has earned his place in the starting XV and proven his worth over and over.DeadlyDunc wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 4:00 pmThis is our best XV in my opinion although you could argue Kelly for Scott or Martin for Chessum in fairness
But how great to have such selection dilemmas?

I genuinely don’t think Ellis should be in the match day squad. Under perform, over play or just general distraction….not for me.
He can return and captain the side from Newcastle onwards if Borthwick sees fit but potentially far more to lose by playing him than not.

Nah for me he has to play and have a chance to prove his head is in the game, how I'd dearly like him to get a try too.anz3001 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 6:22 pmI genuinely don’t think Ellis should be in the match day squad. Under perform, over play or just general distraction….not for me.

Guy has to be given a chance to prove his head is in the game for this one and there is NO better way to do that than vs Bristol
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

I think we have to play Genge v Bristol. He’s one of the best in the country, so we need him. Genge and Ford in the 23 adds to the quality we had today v Connaught.
