Snyman looked like he was properly hurt in his ribs yesterday. Doubt he'll play.

Despite the obsession of some posters on here would be very surprised to see Martin in the row. Henderson might get a go now he's had some PRC games.

Hopefully see a change in centres

Yeah I'd like to see Henderson given a shot, especially if partnered with someone like Wells with experience in the row.

No obsession at all,just that he has an incredibly high tackle count and workrate when he plays. As does Wells,and it will be needed in this game! And we can’t leave The Berg out and we definitely need Reffell in to slow ball down so where else does he fit in? So I’ve no obsession whatsoever ,don’t know where you’ve got that from! I’m picking the best pack I can for the job

If Kelly or Porter were fit to return at 12 it would be a gigantic boost.

With Reffell and Wiese almost certain to disappear for the AIs I'd take the chance whilst all (to my knowledge) the back rows are available to rotate Hanro to the bench.

This maybe a little left field, and whilst I admire Henderson and think once he is back up to speed from his injury he is going to be a very fine player hopefully for Tigers, for many years .. the lad who shone in the PRC was Chessum Junior! That may fix some of our lineout issues. I know he is very young to be playing second row in the premiership however…. Just a thought

If they're good enough, they're old enough.

Oh and 'the row' AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! Front row, second row, back row, they're all row's!!!

[Tykger]

Nadolo at centre perhaps. Lack of agility wouldn't get exposed as he does defensively on the wing and we'd still get power, offensive threat and his ability to Jackal. Just a thought

[Big Dai]

Still think..... Faith and hope are required at centre.......there's been too much charity of late.

I also note "The ruck" is linking us with a few centres and 10s?

Have you got a link for the ruck I can’t seem to find it in the website? Cheers

Put the links I found on the transfers thread.

Esterhuizen is apparently fit and looking to feature for Quins on Saturday. Probably won’t help our cause!

Not aiming it at you particularly Scott but there's always a theme of people on here wanting to move Martin straight into lock. He's a very good blindside that suits the way we play and we have plenty of locks but limited backrow cover. Who's to say he'll be able to rampage around the way he does at 6 if he has the extra weight in his legs from the scrums?

I'd also advocate leaving Liebenburg out to get some rest. He's played a lot so far this season and left the Sarries game early. Borthwick likes to rest players for away games and go full bore at home so that wouldn't be a surprise away at Quins. Last season at Quins Genge and Cole were on the bench.
