Two good sides probably not much in it. I'd say with home
advantage Exeter would be favs though

I assume Anderson is in as he covers wing and FB - would prefer
David though.......
Kolade and Hyde playing centres for Scottish tomorrow

Shame beard a d dombrandt are out. Don't understand Anderson
over David. Otherwise a decent squad. Will be tough to get a win
but hopefully at least two bonus points

Benson lining up against Ikitau concerns me. Nothing against
Benson as a fly half, but ...

Okay, my assessment, from my deep and professional expertise
(or, couch as it's known):
Back 3: We're fairly even on the wings. Feyi-Waboso is probably
the best of the 4, but we're balanced overall. Full-back, Hodge
is fast and kicks well, but I'd still take Green.
Centres: We're probably outmatched here. Ikitau is a far better
12 than Benson, and Northmore and Slade are reasonably equal,
Northmore better with ball in hand, probably, but Slade better
with the boot.
10: we have an advantage. Smith is simply better than Skinner.
9: Varney probably shades Porter.
Front row: Reasonably balanced overall.
Second row: Again, fairly balanced. Depends on how in form
Lewies is after not playing much recently.
Back row: We may struggle a bit with physicality, CCS besides,
but Hooper is new to their side and may not be fully up to
speed. Maybe Exeter will edge it, but I'm not convinced.
Replacements: Some weaknesses on both benches. I think our front
row replacements will be stronger, but I'm not sure about the
rest.
Overall, fairly matched teams, but their greater strength at 12
could cause us some problems. There's going to be a lot on
Northmore's shoulders to hold the centre together.

I think Benson will become the long term 12 at Quins. He’s
physical enough and offers the 2nd playmaker option Quins lack.
Other teams have that at 15, definitely not Tyrone’s strength. A
massively underestimated part of Andre’s game was his game
management and abilty to offer a kicking option.
This weekend however he’s up against the form 12 in world rugby.

Think the 6-2 bench will become commonplace this season as when
you look at the injuries (Launch & Chis in particular) you can
see them on the bench rather than the backs especially if benson
covers 10/12
