For me would have kept Wiese in the starting 15 as he has been immense and the best ball carrier across the board for a number of weeks. Great to see Porter back and hopefully Kelly gets some game time too. Great looking team though!!TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 12:01 pm STARTING XV

Re: Edinburgh match.
Cracknell and Wiese similar players so doesn’t affect the balance. Lenny and Brown a week off though Steward was always coming back in.
Having a fit and firing centre partnership of Kelly and Porter could be that real point of difference for the season run in.

Re: Edinburgh match.
Crikey there is some experience in that Edinburgh side. Too close to call this one.

Re: Edinburgh match.
Their team looks promising on paper but that’s not where the game is played. Third from bottom in the URC. No doubt affected by so many Scotland call ups.
Tigers rotating up front seems sensible. Where the battle will be won as always.
Great to have Kelly back.

Re: Edinburgh match.
90% chance of rain tomorrow half backs kicking game will be key. Kinghorn is a wonderful player but does have very long levers leaving him susceptible to a charge down.
Re: Edinburgh match.
Holy Moly. I wasn’t quite sure who played for Edinburgh. I know now! We may lose the battle of the breakdown here. Some pace in the backs too. This is going to be…..interesting, despite their lowly position in the URC.

Re: Edinburgh match.
Old Hob there is a tendency for front rows used to playing on artificial surfaces to scrummage higher due to them finding it easier to keep their feet. Do you think this is the case with EdinburghOld Hob wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 12:17 pmAgree about Kelly; their front row is monstrousTigers86asw wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 12:12 pm

Re: Edinburgh match.
I thought that and then I thought who would I take from their team? Ritchie, Schoeman, Gilchrist, VDM and possibly Watson. Tigers still for me.Old Hob wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 12:17 pmAgree about Kelly; their front row is monstrousTigers86asw wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 12:12 pm

Re: Edinburgh match.
Hanro v Ritchie and Watson v reffell is pretty tight I feel
The Scottish pair are better carriers but as work horses Hanro and red fell are two of the best

Re: Edinburgh match.
Some sensible rotations. Wiese giving us the impact off the bench. Kelly back ahead of schedule. Nice to see Wolstenholme. Big day for Cam.
