A tough match. Their 9 and 10 very dangerous and Lawes a top forward. Both benches strong. Expect a high scoring close game. The ref a worry IMO. Saints 29 Chiefs 34

Two good sides, like the way we are rotating the front rows as a very strong group. Frosts explosive moves may keep them thinking.
Every game the guys are getting that bit more knowledge, and hopefully last weeks mistakes are now a lesson learned.
Tough game, but believe with have the personnel and the fire power for a win, our 9s need to get it right and we will more than hold our own at scrum time, so it’s our defence that will be tested.
No not being mentally ready as with Quins, need to go at it from the whistle.

Two strong looking side's and hopefully we’ve learned about the defensive errors made last week out wide.
Should be another close one, thinking Saints might get this on home advantage: Saints 28 - 24 Chiefs

Worried about this ref we never get much from him away from home, let’s hope it doesn’t come down to the whistler.
Good luck lads and no more injuries is Woody rested ?

IF we get everything right....
By the way, fourth paragraph of the 'teams up' article on the Offy....who writes this gobbledegook?

"Baxter believes this could be a game which has the makings for a great representation of the sport as, on first inspection, a number of aspects of both side’s games are set in great parallels which could result in a great match-up."
AI? Apparently the only intelligence needed!

Expecting a high scoring and open game. Think Saints, with home advantage, will sneak it. Although I wouldn't be hugely surprised if we won. The team has already way exceeded my expectations, I had has fighting with falcons for last place!!! The scrum in particular is way better than I hoped. If we'd of had last years scrum last week we would have lost that game.

Vintcent looked a bit lost against Bristol and a bit more lightweight then Fisilau, he needs to play out wider where is good pace can be used, the same way Simmonds did first before England tried to turn him into Billy.
happy with a LBP, and some good tries. we have had 13 different try scores this season plus penalty, maybe Hammersley will get a first?

Looking forward to todays game. Will be interesting to see at what point of the game Rob unleashes the serious bulk of Painter, Sio and Tuima in the second half. Just get the feeling that we could get some scrum dominance and subsequent penalties could be really impactful.
Going to be a good marker of where we are.

Vintcent was waiting out wide several times last week, but never spotted. Maybe this week…

Surprised that Slade is not captain today.
last week, Iosefa-Scott scored a try were he got down very low and put his other hand down on the ground but not his knees so was not crawing, and I saw this in a game yesterday, makes it very difficult to tackle.
