The breakdown will be key against Exeter. Saints probably
should've beaten them a few weeks ago. They commited loads of
bodies to the breakdown and made it an absolute mess for the
first 60mins or so and really knocked Exeter out of their
rhythm.
They ultimately ran out of steam (not helped by Ribbans early
red card) but I thought at the time that's probably the
blueprint for beating Exeter.

I think it'll be decided by the powers that be based on whether
the two "home" kits are too similar in overall colour. In 2012,
both we and Tigers played in our home kits, as there was
sufficient difference in them to not cause confusion. When
Sarries & Exeter played each other, because both strips are
primarily black, the lower placed team wore their change strip.

You could right but if we play that way how much of our game do
we lose and that is our point of difference.
We cannot play like we did in the opening game, kicking to them
then hoping to defend is not good, trying to batter through will
not work as Sale showed. I think we actually stick to our DNA
and move them around they really will not like that. But as you
point out we need to muscle up to win the ball.
Overall I think let them worry more about how to stop us playing
because we know what’s coming from them it’s just a case of
knuckle down.
Win our set piece nick a bit of theirs to let DC and Smithy
Marshall us into the right areas. Magic will happen because we
are Quins and it’s what we do.

Andre and Chisholm have to start, and will make a huge
difference. Chisholm was immense when he came on yesterday. Two
big ball carriers that will break the line and we can get
Lynagh, Green, Marchant etc on their shoulder we could cause
havoc.

Agree Andre needs to start (as tough as it is on Tapuai) - I'd
also stick with Lawday to start as I think that Chisholm offers
much more off the bench compared to Lawday, and we're going to
need an 80minute performance from the entire 23
