Bath surely won't be as bad as last week.
Re: Sale - they're a good side and few teams will win up there
this season. It was frustrating to come close but an LBP would
be generallt what I'd expect from that fixture.

Can’t remember the last time either of us won at the other’s
ground.
I know Tabs said Quins’ last win at the AJ Bell was 2015 and I’d
guess we haven’t won at the Stoop in a similar amount of time.

The thing about the Sale game is that despite coming up against
a team that had the ideal squad and strategy to negate Quins, we
were still in with a chance of winning it late in the game and
could still have done so if a couple of close calls had gone the
other way.
More importantly, it was a game Quins could afford to lose and
it showed where the weak spots in our game plan were. Sanderson
has said that there was a deliberate plan to get a breakdown
operator close to the tackle to jackal before the ball could be
placed back, and it looked to me that it was the root cause of a
lot of Quins' problems. I hope the coaches will have analysed
this and be looking at how we can adjust.

Im almost certain Bath won't play as poorly as last week, so on
that basis we cannot be complacent. They are ultimately one week
closer to their first win, and ideally they will still be
looking for it after this weekend, but lets not discount their
team, because it has a lot of class operators.
I like the look of their pack, and their front row are no
slouches.
I think this will be a very close contest and we need to be
mindful we don't get sucked into an arm wrestle, as that isn't
our strength (Compare Bristol to Sale). I think Bath would look
at Sales approach and replicate that, rather than trying to play
an expansive game which they know will suit us.

Which makes it all the more surprising that they've gone for
Lawday (a generalist backrower) over Wallace (a specialist
openside)?
