       The long term successor to André is Bryn Bradley who is 6’3 and
       105kg, already here, and played well for wales there in the u20
       World Cup. Not quite as physically imposing but a similar sort
       of option. Andre is here until 2025 after which time one of
       Anyanwu or Bradley has to make the shirt theirs.
       Lennox will get a look in initially, and we may see Northmore
       there with WillJo at 13 (don’t think he’ll go to the World Cup)
       before we see Jarrod at 12. Lennox is an option at 13 too if we
       go double playmaker and play someone else at 12. Think Jarrod is
       our starting 10 anyway until we get knocked out of the RWC with
       Marcus not having played.

       I'm surprised so many reckon a top-4 place is likely. I thought
       5-6 place finish might be most likely. I hope I am wrong !

       It will be tough, certainly at the start, as I think some teams
       will have the edge with losing minimal players for the RWC. I
       think this season Bath will fly out the traps and be a contender
       at the end of the season, probably alongside Sarries, Tigers and
       Sale.

       Bath have looked to be a contender before the start of every
       season recently....
       I don't think so.

       They tore us apart at the BSKO and showed signs of gelling. They
       also won't be too hindered by RWC call ups. Obano, Stuart, Hill,
       Underhill, Barbeary (fitness pending) is a solid pack to build a
       foundation off and they have some useful backs.
       Gloucester will also be worth watching at the start certainly if
       VRR doesn't make the grade, with Mercer looking to make a point.
       That said we should still have a solid team to start. Personally
       I don't think SB will call up Marler/Care/Walker so we could
       very well start the season with:
       1. Marler
       2. Walker
       3. Collier
       4. Launchbury
       5. Herbst
       6. Kenningham
       7. Evans
       8. Cunningham-South
       9. Care
       10. Evans
       11. Murley
       12. Anyanwu
       13. Northmore
       14. Lynagh
       15. David
       Thats a solid team on paper, so it will be really interesting to
       see how we fly out the traps under Billy again.

       You don't think they'll start with Lawday? Serious question.

       I would like them to as I think he adds some great balance, but
       I think they are trying to turn Kenningham into a Robshaw, which
       for me is a bad move. If actually fit (which is a rarity) I'd
       probably start Chisholm at 6.
       I imagine as a bench option Lawday offers better cover across
       the back row then Kenningham would if he had to come on to cover
       for an Injury.
