I don't think quins will win. They have a mental block playing
sarries. Not convinced we'll have all our England guys
available, though we should.
Would be great to have some injured players back. Porter or care
need to play. If Evans is injured, Smith needs to play.
Hopefully lamb is back. Northmore has been training, though 13
is now a position of strength.
Lynagh's confidence must be sky high. I'd start him and maybe
bench David. Would be harsh as he's been in great form.
I think we'll get one match point, probably from 4 tries, no
lbp. Hope I'm wrong

Stonex is great. The cheating occupants, not so much......

fyi
I was checking my route From Ashford/Feltham and there is a bus
replacement between these stations and Hounslow.
So its the train from Upper Halliford or Sunbury or underground
from HX

For those doing the route which includes train to Vauxhall and
tube, it might be worth staying on the victoria line until
Tottenham Hale and changing there for a mainline train to
Northumberland Park (1 stop). Maps reckons it's a 15 min walk
from there which seems like a good alternative considering White
Hart Lane station is closed.

Harlequins. Sarries have won seven in a row against the
southwest Londoners and four consecutive games at home in all
competitions, in which they have scored at least 37 points.
While we’re listing numbers, Saracens put 40 points on Exeter in
round 12 to jump above the Chiefs and into the top four. Crisis?
What crisis? Worryingly for the rest of the league, Saracens are
back.

Wham.
> Harlequins better hope that they get their helping of spinach
before getting the Tube north of the city. It’s been more than
four years since Harlequins beat Saracens in the league. Covid
has been and gone (sort of) but Quins haven’t found a vaccine
for league form against their London rivals: it’s been 12 years
since they won away at Saracens in the Premiership.
> Harlequins have also had to sit stewing for nearly two months
thanks to a home loss against Leicester at the end of January,
ending a streak of four straight triumphs — no one will have
felt worse than Jarrod Evans, who missed a conversion at the
death that would have won them the match. Plenty to be positive
about though for Harlequins; Tyrone Green and Nick David look
absolutely electric, James Chisholm, illegally or not, is a
hoover at the ruck, while Will Collier was doing his usual tough
stuff in the scrum and dancing in the loose. Harlequins defended
well under pressure, but not enough for victory.
> They may have fallen away from top spot and have a really
tough run of fixtures, but at least have a home semi-final in
their own hands. Ending their hoodoo against “smug Sarries”
would certainly be a start.

Seems extremely unlikely we will break the run of losses in this
one. Saracens are the better team after a rubbish start to the
season, we looked extremely lackadaisical against Munster in the
friendly & threw away a win in our last league game, Saracens
have lost 2 home matches in since the beginning of last season,
we don't have a defence coach any more, the last time Smith came
back from playing 15 for England he took a couple of matches to
get going, and we will miss CC-S's impact off the bench.
Still, sport can throw up surprises, so you can never say never.
Sarries have copped a few beatings this season & looked a bit
ropey vs lesser teams as well, and it's an excruciatingly tight
league. Would be a genuine shock result if it happened though.
They've lost just 2 home matches this season, didn't lose at
home last season, and lost once at home the season before.
Impressive stuff.

wallets.
Woul like to see this with quins tickets.

We never beat Sarries and I don't expect this one to be any
different.
I imagine we will say the ref was on their side, but ultimately
most times we play they just look an extra 5% better in all
departments. They should have a very good side out.
Maybe a few LBP and no injuries would be considered a success.
Lose this and Bath and top 4 is long gone though
