Radrada against Gopperth lets see how that goes :smt009
Centres.....without Kelly.....and Porter. A worry.
Kelly and Porter have had virtually nothing to do with our good recent form. Not saying they shouldn’t be in the side when fit, but I don’t see what’s different about this match from the last four that we have won where the centre pairing was Gopperth and Scott.


We’ll probably get tanked now I’ve said that…
Good point......but it doesn't stop me worrying.🤣🤣

We wouldn't be fans if we didn't worry about the game

Need to check the team sheets. Fairly sure centres for the last two and half games have been Porter and Scott

Looks a fantastic 23 from where I am sitting.

Bristol have a good line up too, so should be an excellent game.

Radradra against Martin? No contest.
Cheering on the Tigers in Detroit.

1½, Porter & Scott played all of the Gloucester win, they played the end of the Bath game.

Gopperth, Scott was our centre's for
Saracens
London Irish
Bath.

What on earth was Potter doing there, we'd secured the ball and then he moves into squeezeball and gives away a penalty :smt017

Looked like a shoulder charge on Pollard by Radradra as he made that crossfield kick, may have just been the replay angle though

Game for Reffell this
Ref giving a lot of chances for both teams at the breakdown.
Thomas being the main one to capitalise on it though

Think Bristol may bring Genge on soon, but if our bench click it's got the bigger depth...

Bristol flooding every breakdown and at least 2 men in the tackle. They’ve had some luck with wild kicks that have gone their way but they’re dangerous in the loose. We just need to tighten up a bit.

A bit obvious but next score is vital.
