Really good side. I would like to see a bit more of Taufetee, maybe his line out throwing is an issue. That said Charlie Clare has been superb.

Great 23 from Tigers. Saying that Sarries have also put out a great team so should be a cracker. Too close to call especially being away. Be happy with a LBP and TBP.

Trouble is with South Africa and Argentina playing in the Autumn international Weise and Montoya could be burnt out by Christmas!
Three weeks rest means that by the time you want them available they'll be about ready to join up with their international teams again.

Not sure if this is tongue in cheek or not. Gopperth has not done a lot wrong, Cocanasinga deserves a shot. You have someone with international experience at 12 on the bench and Murimurivalu can move in 1.
If anything you could say you’ve got 3 fullbacks in your back 3.

Disagree with Chopsy I don't regard Gopperth and Cokanasiga as weak centres although I confess I like Porter and Kelly there but Cokanasiga looks good each time he takes the pitch. Cover is supplied by Pollard who would not let us down at 12 and Murimurivalu who has played 13, Ashton coming on the wing to replace him there.

Exciting times we need to be in the battle at 60 and see if they can cope with our bench

I fancy a little wager on another Ashton try #98
