Brissie are doing very well and need to be taken really seriously - a win will make the end of the season much more manageable - we have some big games to come and a short turn round to the Edinburgh game

Gives us a chance to really get a foothold at the set piece if true.LtPigeon wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 4:50 pm Genge and Sinkler to be rested for Saturday's game.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread not surprised by that. We might rest some of our internationals for this one as well.
Bristol's scrum has really been turned around by the arrival of their new scrum coach (or return of their scrum coach as he's worked there before). Could be tougher up front than we've experienced previously.
West, Montoya and Heyes is a strong front row though.

Cronin now fit so can see him starting with West on the bench

Bit of a clumsy article, that. If you read on, it suggests Genge was offered a rest but won't be taking it and therefore he will play.LtPigeon wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 4:50 pm Genge and Sinkler to be rested for Saturday's game.

The way I read it was Genge wanted to play but Lam told him that he was being rested.

Has definitely been re-edited. It now says Sinkler resting but not Genge, definitely initially said both were resting.Postiger2 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 6:40 pmBit of a clumsy article, that.

Bad look when the man in charge says take a break but the player wont!! Then the next moan will be about player welfare.

Tasty side
Biggest surprise is Porter's absence meaning Gopperth at 12, but Gopperth and Pollard work well
