Good side, that. Bizarrely, it's been scheduled to clash with
the England U20 game, which should also have some Quins
interest.

I suspect they were more bothered about neither of them clashing
with the main game. It won't affect the attendances and I can't
see the viewing figures for the A game being high, given it's on
Premier Sports.
I suppose they could have played one on Sunday but then one of
the teams would miss out on the big piss-up after (and during)
the England game on Saturday. [emoji4]

That's a pretty good side. They could give the main side a
decent run for their money.

I'd expect the pack to get battered, honestly. Second best from
1-8.

Unpopular opinion.. for me the England A is about seeing the
“next cabs off the rank” for international rugby, giving them
that step up. Dombrandt has 23 or so England caps..would be
better suited giving the likes of Harding or even Fisilau a
chance
