We'll need to be solid in the set piece against Sarries, so for
that reason I'd give Collier the nod over Kerrod. I'd also be
tempted to put in Lewies at 6 (assuming he's fit enough) to give
us another genuine line out threat. If we can limit/nullify
their set piece threat, I fancy our chances.
We need SGB to put in a big performance. I don't have much
confidence in him to be honest, but just think it's a bit to
early to throw Baxter in from the start in a big derby game.

True, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that will be the case
this week. Wilco being back would be a serious boost.

There biggest lineout threat is not there, but as has been said
we need to be solid in set piece they still have good depth.
I just hope we don’t fumble as much we have in the last couple
of weeks because they are in great form.

Yeah them having a great game against bath then another against
Wasps C team will give them a lot of confidence.
I am worried they come and try to play a flowing game like the
last 2 weeks and we don’t click, I don’t think I could take BT
sports going on about how Sarries can play that way too, they
are a all court team and the rest of it.
I want them to play boring rugby and we cut through for a win,
don’t care by how much just a win.
Also quite typical we get them during internationals for the
first time in a long time and we are hit harder by it, their
version of big game might actually work in our favour with it
always being just after players return from the 6N.

Obviously we are missing a few, but so are they. If Louw is
back I would fancy him to sort Mako out in the scrum. I think
its pretty even on paper (guessing at who will be playing)

The trouble is that whoever they have at tighthead has an
equally good chance of sorting out Botta at the scrum... at
which point it becomes which prop the ref believes. And Sarries
have the reputation for having a strong scrum, while Quins don't
- even though our actual stats are the best in the league.

That is a fair point. Id be tempted to stick Baxter in. Nothing
to lose. One thing I would say about him so far, he looks
pretty solid in the scrum.

And I'd fancy my Mum at tighthead against Mako so that should
even the scrum up in my opinion.
No fannying around at scrum time though, get it in and out and
not wait for the no.8 to pick and go and quick ball off the top
the line-out. Get them running around for 55-60 mins and see how
good they are after that.

Does anyone know who they are missing/who is likely to play??
Will we be missing Jones or do we keep him another week??

One cause for optimism that just occurred to me is that I think
Sarries' defensive system is still based on low competition at
the breakdown and getting the line set, and without Itoje they
are down one of their better turnover operators.
Sale's disruption of our game was based on committing to the
breakdown and preventing quick ball, so Sarries would have to
vary their style to replicate it. They're very capable of doing
that but whether they do or not it means that it creates
opportunities.
