Hoping Botta has a better game because hes been nothing short of
dross in his games so far. Probably would of had Marchant start
over Northmore.
Ever the optimist, I'll go for a 20-12 loss with Gustard having
all the answers as to why we fell short again.

Would've liked to see Tizard start over Young. We need the extra
muscle in the engine room.
I think Baldwin is lucky to retain his place over Gray.
Aside from Simmonds first try, Northmore played well last week
and deserves another start. Hopefully Marchant to come on and do
some damage in the last quarter when the game opens up.

When I first read this, I saw Botica not Botta. And I was
reminded of Botica's daft kick in February 2016 which allowed
Ben Foden to score a try and for Saints to then beat us.

Presumably Northmore continues because it's important to get him
settled and working alongside Esterhuizen if we continue to have
Marchant spending time with England.

I think he deserves to keep his place anyway.

I think that's a fair assumption. One of the few pluses from the
Exeter game was our defensive line speed, with the centre
pairing being key to that.
Let's just hope they've worked on maul defence during the week!

And George Robson as he seemed to be able to read the
opposition's line out as well as running our line out better
than any other Quins player in recent years.

Yep, Robson was frequently left with an underpowered partner.
None of Matthews, Merrick or Twomey (injury) really pressed on
as much as we might have liked.
