Tactics
- The weather suits attacking, running rugby and that's what we'll be going for. Be sensible and keep success percentage high but don't be afraid to have a go when it's on.
- Mobile pack picked to get around the park and ensure our own ball is won.
- Big importance on maintaining possession and playing the phases. If we keep the ball, gaps will appear and the opposition will get tired.
- Keep coming round the corner using big runners to run at 10 and around the fringes to suck in their numbers. Exhaust the whole width of the pitch, really spread them.
- Compete on their ball at the lineout - go from turnovers here
- Target turnovers at the breakdown for potential counter attacks, with Pocock et al staying strong on their feet. Get the ball wide quickly.
- More attacking players on the bench ready to run at tired legs. Gone for a 4/4 split to show emphasis on back play
- Homer to kick pens to keep the scoreboard ticking over. If well ahead we'll go for touch and set an attacking platform.

TACTICS TBC
General
- Going full strength for the win, no more experimentation!
- We want to make sure that we play rugby in the opposition half and force handling errors, where we can attack the scrum and use the boot of Steyn to keep the scoreboard ticking over. Use the physicality of our pack to our advantage, keeping the ball tight in the middle section of the pitch to retain possession and build a platform to attack from. In our third clear to touch and challenge for the ball at lineout.
- Look to interchange 10 and 12 as the situation sees fit. Utilise Hook as a playmaker on the wrap around and Steyn as a physical threat and cannon of a boot.
- Hook and Steyn to ensure we play sensible rugby in the right areas, kicking long for touch in our 22, using the up and under in the centre of the pitch and delicate grubbers in behind centres to chase and force kickable penalties.
- Steyn leads the rush defence, with Louw/Fearns flying up to cramp 10 for time and space and ensuring he takes the ball deep behind the gainline and starving their outside backs of ball.
Forwards
* Franks to target LH in the scrum. Look to draw penalties for Steyn to gain position and points. Look for a yellow card early on.
* Picked a very physical pack to make sure that we defend strongly and smash over the gainline. O'Brien to lead pack from base of scrum making hard yards and setting up the ruck for Louw and Fearns to clear out. SOB to mark opposite 8 in defence to prevent charges from base of scrum
* At the lineout, Muller will lead the calls and look to pressurise oppoistion hooker and compete at every throw
* Louw is a breakdown specialist and will look to stay on his feet at the ruck and slow opposition ball down. Fearns and Lund to guard to the fringes of the ruck
* Use ball carriers of Franks, Louw, Tolufua, O'Brien, Fearns to make hard yards up the pitch and draw defenders into the ruck area, looking to create space around the fringes for Laulala to exploit
Backs
* Dagg given free rein in attack, looking to come into the line either side of Laulala. Laulala to look for the half gap with power and offload (only if on), with the pace of Biggs and Woodburn on their shoulder to make the break
* Hook to take the ball flat on the gainline, drawing defenders and buying time and space for Steyn in the 2nd playmaker role. Steyn not afraid to bosh it up if nothing on and set up the ruck.
* Vary the point of attack with 10/12 interchanging, look to keep it unpredictable on the gainline + difficult to defend against. Use the inside pass with forward runners of Franks, Caldwell, SOB to keep the inside shoulder honest and force the 10 to make tackles.
* Get Laulala on the ball early on and encourage a very pacy back three to run off his shoulder. Only offload if it is on, otherwise, crash it up and use SOB, Fearns, Caldwell to clear out and Louw to secure.
* Banahan is a huge physical threat. Encourage him to run into the 10 channel early on and test 10 and creates gap behind. Eastmond to come on for last 30 mins in a free role, acting as 2nd receiver, popping up wherever to use his pace, step and get more experience

Tactics
- James and Wilson are solid technicians and will secure our own feed, to provide first phase possesion for our backs. James will look to put pressure on the Stormers feed.
- With a strong lineout, O'Connell will lead the lineout and use Mumm as a banker ball at the front of the line with POC jumping in the middle. If winning own ball POC will look to cut the lineout to five, to allow Easter to get a chance to run at the defence in open field.
- With the selection of Kvesic and Gibson they'll attack breakdowns, their skills will provide another source of possesion from turnovers. Hodgson will be behind the rucks to supply any turnover possesion to our wide men as soon as possible why the defence is in disarray.
- Off any first phase possesion, there will be a strike runner to get over the gainline to provide quick ball whilst the opposition defence is still organising itself.
- Evans will direct traffic and marshall the attacking forces. Pienaar will marshall the forwards and Evans will pull the strings, looking for the runs of Waldlouck and Henson off his shoulder or to allow Wald to release our dangerous roaming back three.
- Evans will kick all points, unless POC dictates we have a dominate set piece at the moment in time.

* Picked a very physical pack to make sure that we defend strongly and smash over the gainline. O'Brien to lead pack from base of scrum making hard yards and setting up the ruck for Louw and Fearns to clear out. SOB to mark opposite 8 in defence to prevent charges from base of scrum
* At the lineout, Muller will lead the calls and look to pressurise oppoistion hooker and compete at every throw
* Louw is a breakdown specialist and will look to stay on his feet at the ruck and slow opposition ball down. Fearns and Lund to guard to the fringes of the ruck
* Use ball carriers of Franks, Louw, Tolufua, O'Brien, Fearns to make hard yards up the pitch and draw defenders into the ruck area, looking to create space around the fringes for Laulala to exploit
Backs
* Dagg given free rein in attack, looking to come into the line either side of Laulala. Laulala to look for the half gap with power and offload (only if on), with the pace of Biggs and Woodburn on their shoulder to make the break
* Hook to take the ball flat on the gainline, drawing defenders and buying time and space for Steyn in the 2nd playmaker role. Steyn not afraid to bosh it up if nothing on and set up the ruck.
* Vary the point of attack with 10/12 interchanging, look to keep it unpredictable on the gainline + difficult to defend against. Use the inside pass with forward runners of Franks, Caldwell, SOB to keep the inside shoulder honest and force the 10 to make tackles.
* Get Laulala on the ball early on and encourage a very pacy back three to run off his shoulder. Only offload if it is on, otherwise, crash it up and use SOB, Fearns, Caldwell to clear out and Louw to secure.
* Banahan is a huge physical threat. Encourage him to run into the 10 channel early on and test 10 and creates gap behind. Eastmond to come on for last 30 mins in a free role, acting as 2nd receiver, popping up wherever to use his pace, step and get more experience

16. Rhys Gill 17. Tom Mercey 18. Tom Lindsay 19. George Robson 20. Chris Hala'ufia 21. Joel Hodgson 22. Steven Shingler 23. Ben Ransom
Tactics
- James and Wilson are solid technicians and will secure our own feed, to provide first phase possesion for our backs. James will look to put pressure on the Stormers feed.
- With a strong lineout, O'Connell will lead the lineout and use Mumm as a banker ball at the front of the line with POC jumping in the middle. If winning own ball POC will look to cut the lineout to five, to allow Easter to get a chance to run at the defence in open field.
- With the selection of Kvesic and Gibson they'll attack breakdowns, their skills will provide another source of possesion from turnovers. Hodgson will be behind the rucks to supply any turnover possesion to our wide men as soon as possible why the defence is in disarray.
- Off any first phase possesion, there will be a strike runner to get over the gainline to provide quick ball whilst the opposition defence is still organising itself.
- Evans will direct traffic and marshall the attacking forces. Pienaar will marshall the forwards and Evans will pull the strings, looking for the runs of Waldlouck and Henson off his shoulder or to allow Wald to release our dangerous roaming back three.
- Evans will kick all points, unless POC dictates we have a dominate set piece at the moment in time.

Tactics
- The weather suits attacking, running rugby and that's what we'll be going for. Be sensible and keep success percentage high but don't be afraid to have a go when it's on.
- Mobile pack picked to get around the park and ensure our own ball is won.
- Big importance on maintaining possession and playing the phases. If we keep the ball, gaps will appear and the opposition will get tired.
- Keep coming round the corner using big runners to run at 10 and around the fringes to suck in their numbers. Exhaust the whole width of the pitch, really spread them.
- Compete on their ball at the lineout - go from turnovers here
- Target turnovers at the breakdown for potential counter attacks, with Pocock et al staying strong on their feet. Get the ball wide quickly.
- More attacking players on the bench ready to run at tired legs. Gone for a 4/4 split to show emphasis on back play
- Homer to kick pens to keep the scoreboard ticking over. If well ahead we'll go for touch and set an attacking platform.

Yeah technically Kepu is a tighthead but he has played at LH for the Wallabies and I wanted to see what people thought about different combinations

Re: Summer Cup Round 6
Leicester 22-21 Saints
Very very close but Tigers just have a little bit more overall.
Chiefs 16-12 Wasps
Wasps will hold out in the backline for a bit but the Chiefs have more up front and will dominate in the tight 5.
Irish 24-22 Bath
Again, just a little bit more for Irish, they'll take this game in the backrow.
Exeter 24-20 Ulster
Can see Chiefs gaining control in the front 5 and the back row will be even. Chiefs will just edge the backs battle.
Sale 22-21 Sarries
Just a bit more class here for Sale, not sure about Kepu at LH and feel the Sharks' kids have a bit more about them.
Welsh 20-25 Quins
Very very good Quins squad with an awesome back row and back line, unfortunate for Welsh to hit them at this time.
Worcester 30-28 Stormers
High scoring game with free-flowing rugby from both sides, Warriors have the edge in the outside backs.
