So great news on the Kelly front!

Concerned about Cronin being injured though!

Team up. Headlines Kelly back on the centres but no Cronin who I’m sure was in a training video, May be recovering

Really strong team. Good bench another than Van Wyk and Snyman who, for me, are both concerns

Feel for Scott who has been good last two times out

If Cronin injured not a lot of choice at loosehead. Snyman will do a job and lock not really an area of strength for Bristol.
Scott has played 2 possibly 3 full games on the bounce, and will no doubt feature v Ospreys, Kelly and Porter when both fit our best centres

How Ashton keeps his place is a mystery & not sure how Snyman makes the bench in front of Cracknell/Jansen etc.

Presume Steward is getting at least the Ospreys game off then.
To win is not as important as playing with style!

I think you will see both Cracknell and Jansen v Ospreys. All about squad rotation when European rugby due to start.

Belting 23 that - should (I emphasise should) be good enough to take a win of some variety back up the M5 etc

I don't think Scott was that good. Got into some arguments with other posters and made some wild assumptions !

On balance I like the look of the team and it's great to see Kelly back. Also a strong bench.

CMK has been getting better but I also fear for the influence of the TMO who, in the past, CMK has not always questioned.

Better starting him rather than on the bench.........if he does pick up any injury he can easily be replaced.

What’s peoples thoughts on the scrum? Cole vs Genge is an interesting one for me. Feel like Cole is the better scrummager!!
