Young bench for the Quins, could be a baptism of fire for Kyle Sinckler!

My favourite English backrowers are Croft, Wood, Haskell and Robshaw. Don't rate Easter highly. Not sure what the best English backrow combo would be.

Powell was always very limited. And Rush is a shadow of his former self.

I would add Crane to that list. I rate him quite highly, I think he is a somewhat unspectacular but very gifted and solid 8, who in combination with the right flankers could form an exceptional back row.

Young flankers to watch would be Kvesic and Wallace as opensides.

Both Scarlets & Ospreys looked pretty average against decent opposition this weekend. Can't see either progressing much further in the completion

The Ospreys were poor but they got a LBP away from home which is a good result. If they can get a win at home and deny Sarries anything then they will be in a very good position.
