Looks decent, can you explain your thinking for the second row? I’d be tempted to have one of Wells or Green starting, but that’s just a gut feeling.RagingBull wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 10:18 am Would go with

Cheering on the Tigers in Detroit.
Previously a slower, shorter, less good looking version of Tom Croft.

Without their international Sarries pack isn’t that big imo.No6_Flanker wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:22 pmLooks decent, can you explain your thinking for the second row?

Very well drilled though.
Martin and Henderson gives us carrying options and reality is Martin upped our physicality massively when he came on

With Hanro on holiday in SA atm (well deserved) I'd be tempted to go Martin at 6 vs Sarries
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Agreed that Martin has added something when he’s come on. I feel that Liebenberg isn’t playing his best rugby at the moment. Martin, Cracknell, Wiese would be a strong back row.RagingBull wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:36 pmWithout their international Sarries pack isn’t that big imo.No6_Flanker wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:22 pm

I also feel that everyone fully fit, Martin best position in terms of starting is lock next to Chessum.
Especially when I look to next season with Hatherell signing.

Sarries at home then LI away,not good with the run we are on. Could be looking at 6 losses in 7 and Murphy territory!

We could, we also could be looking at being back in the top 4 with only one more away game remaining. The joys of a tight league eh...

I can. Two narrow losses, small margins make those wins, a Saracens side who look vulnerable without some of their England players, a London Irish team who were under pressure at times against a Quins side with 14 players in.Scott1 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 2:30 pmCan't see it the way we are playing can you?!TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 1:00 pmWe could, we also could be looking at being back in the top 4 with only one more away game remaining.

I genuinely think 0, 1 or 2 wins in our next two games are all quite possible.
