Assuming you are resting Youngs as part of EPS requirements id be tempted to suggest we’d likely play a higher tempo with more of the ball in hand which means I’d go JVP starting but I’m splitting hairsRagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 12:14 pm For me I would go with

All our EPS enforced breaks are over. We had the bye week plus all EPS either missed Bordeaux OR Connacht games.DeadlyDunc wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 1:36 pmAssuming you are resting Youngs as part of EPS requirements id be tempted to suggest we’d likely play a higher tempo with more of the ball in hand which means I’d go JVP starting but I’m splitting hairsRagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 12:14 pm For me I would go with

On 9 I just think I would like to see Wigg start, JVP been very good but at the same time I like the idea of Wigg controlling the game and then bring on JVP with 30 to go and try and speed up when the opp might start to slow down a bit.
On Porter or Murimurivalu more rotation for me personally I would be starting Porter on the wing v Wasps.
Although I am slightly worried about Nadolo in defence of up against Radwan, so potentially tempted to start him v Radwan also.

All guns blazing at home, can't take Newcastle for granted, give them respect and go for 5 points at home with our strongest available squad.

Dunno Saumaki looked like he could shift Vs Connacht. I don't think they expected a big man to be able to turn on the gas like that. We just need to get the ball in his hands a lot more if he's going to play.
Big fan of Potter particularly with the way we play currently. Nadolo is just one of those that finds a way to make a difference, he's been put under pressure in defence before but he's never become a liability despite teams trying to exploit his turning circle. Let's see how much Radwan feels like running after Nemani has run over him a couple of times.

It’s great fun predicting teams but we all know SB will come up with a team that neither us or more importantly Newcastle has forseen

Does anyone think we can make an 8 out of Chessum,make him like the Georgian Godzilla

I've never seen him in the flesh so I wouldn’t like to say (though he looks pretty quick from what I have seen in clips)RagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 4:13 pmOut of interest how fast is Browning?
My response was more discounting him as he's the winger in our squad without a senior appearance, so of those who have played I reckon Potter is the quickest.
