I agree pick JVP, I thought he didn't have the best of his game v Wasps, he fumbled around base of the scrum too often, getting caught one or twice and that resulted in some poor slow passes to Ford. I think he is rusty. He is a very good attacking player but not at his best last week.johnthegriff wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 4:38 pm I quite like the look of Raging Bull's selection, maybe JVP who I thought showed signs of needing more game time in the squad instead of either Youngs or Wiggy.

Going to be interesting to see which matches actually go ahead this weekend. Teams nervous about travelling to France as have to test in country and could have to quarentine there (from what I read, losing track of who has to do what and where). Bath saying they will not travel under current restrictions.

I was thinking not. If the match can be played and Bath decide not to play the fixture then I am guessing that they get a 28-0 defeat awarded against them.

Forecast for Galway on Saturday: 9 degrees, 40% chance of rain, 8mph wind gusting to 15mph so very light for a change.
