Well, it's a rag tag band of brothers and we know Northmore will
probably not make the full 80, so just go with it. Play the
Quins way and have your moment in the sun. If you lose (most
probably), you lose just enjoy it and take on a well drilled
side with an obvious (and why wouldn't it be?) game plan.
Strangely looking forward to it now, nothing to lose.

Mixed bag again and a very young bench. Enough that I’m not
convinced we actually do have enough to see you off

Just go with how you played us a few weeks ago and you'll be
fine, Yareet. The only jeopardy is that as we are so depleted,
we might just chuck it around and find lightening in a bottle
but knowing us, we'll try and play the same way.
Are you going?

Except I reckon it's 10 to the 23 changes from the European game
(+3 more positional). 5(+1 positional) are on the bench but
that's still a very different XV.
And we've lost some big players: Rodd, LCD, DDP, Carpenter
who've largely been replaced by kids. Asher is the old man of
our starting front row at 21.
Plus, TOF is not brilliant at 15.

That's got to be one of the slowest back three's ever picked to
start in the Prem. I'd of gone Northmore to wing, Kerr at OC and
Anderson to the bench.
Whoever gets the upper hand in the front row probably wins in.
I'm expecting an awful match but will enjoy a beer in the sun if
nothing else!
