Very solid side considering who's missing.

Excited to see Cleaves back.

extremely solid, even the bench is good. Makes you wonder why we aren't higher up the table really, quins do have a very good squad on paper.

Unavailable: Ellis Genge, Sam Grahamslaw, Harry Thacker, Lovejoy Chawatama, Josh Caulfield, Joe Batley, George Taylor, Kofi Cripps, Harry Randall, AJ MacGinty, Sam Worsley, James Williams, Gabriel Ibitoye, Siva Naulago, Jack Bates, Toby Fricker, Max Malins.


At least 10 1st team regulars out. With that said I'm not unhappy with the 23. That's a decent amount of depth when you think about it and should only get better in time.

Surprised about Hill and Bamber on the bench but could be about reinforcing the replacement front row?

That is a packed b*th side and should be looking for a convincing win even away from home.

As good as we can put out, so no arguments here

Expecting a pasting, but it is what it is

Severely let down by our 9 (and WTF is he captain?)

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Looks like Nick Tompkins is reserve back row for Sarries this weekend.

 

[Wantage Wanderer]

Sale vs Bath have more to worry about than depleted squads!

I wonder if Sir's bringing his lucky coin for making his decisions?

Yeah don't often see a 4/4 bench haha.

Yeah don't often see a 4/4 bench haha.

I wonder how many sides have gone with 4/4 in the premiership over the past few years. Bristol have a few times, now Saracens, anyone else?

Looks like Co-Captain with Ewels, so tbh he raises the standard quite a bit.

TBH, despite being my post - I hadn't spotted that.
Still shouldn't be CC, or even VC, but that does mitigate it

Theres alot of English 12s on show this weekend....
