Wonder if sarries will go screw it and not rest any players and bang them all in to get points

Home sides look strong this week to me.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lood out for nearly 6 months.

someone call Olyy he's crying

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Like Dimes said: you can't miss what you never had

Doesn't really feel like he's signed for us tbh, so will be a welcome surprise when he's available

Shame that Fekitoa is injured and Watson not playing either.
Looking forward to seeing J Willis vs. B Curry when both on the pitch at the same time. God we have a stock of young flankers currently!

Also Odogwu starts for his return to Sale.... something to prove?

Got to be honest, would be happy with a losing bonus point here. Sale always a tough game at home even before their squad was strengthened over the summer.

He already started his return a few weeks ago

haha that was the warm up... this is game day

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Singleton and Spencer back on club duty this weekend - though I think they both played about the same amount of RWC minutes...

Don't think there's any other England players knocking about.

Tom Curry asked if he could play this week (and Faf wanted to play next week) but Dimes said they're not in contention until Rd.2 of Europe

That's pretty good man management, probably helps Sale are doing well at the moment too.

Any reason why J Willis is on the bench? Is he still getting up to speed? Hopefully he can be in full flow soon.

Thats a strong team and Slade Nowell and LCD all back

 

[Rinkadink]

I'll be happy with a point at Sandy Park looking at those teams, I'm guessing there will be some bad blood between the players and cosches still given the encounters in the prem last season. Hope it's a cracker. Shame its looking like I can't make it down on Sunday, bit gutted.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Surprised at Slade starting!

What's the bad blood between brizzle and chiefs?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Christ he's really wanting to bin Ross for this head clash

Second time the wasps 8 has tried to start something after the whistle



Redpath cancelling an absolute worldie of a try

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

did the ref tell RdP to be quicker with the kick?

 

[Rinkadink]

Couple of minutes behind, tough call as I thought yellow initiated contact but understand. Was never a card for the Taylor incident nor was it a high tackle against DeJong IMO. Pretty decent game, this. Enjoying it.
