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.

Below the cheating s --m
What is the point of the league when one team plays by totally
different rules

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.
