WAITING LIST:
1. HERSH

Lets be open to things here Flux ...........I think we need to gain more at the lineout first of all Bathite, could easily slot Ian Evans in if needs be.

I know, just joking! ( but who seriously cares about the Wales team? )

Was going to mention that an I Evans and Charteris second row would be a lot better.

Davies/Charteris is the best combo.

Not a fan of Davies at the moment!

I've knocked up a page for this weeks fixtures, as we are running out of time to do teamsheets and tactics

https://www.606v2.com/t37539-aviva-premiership-round-nine-ais

I was just about to do it, but I don't mind another week off

Don't really know what I'm doing to be honest! I'll be out most of rest of week, so needed to somewhere to put my team!

Stick on the teamsheets on your page for now, I'll make another on saturday night?

Sounds good to me

Get in there bath!!! Huge win, big show of balls there in tough conditions, I'm over the moon. Grea performances from beech eastmond and Donald

Struggling for time lads as just moved house, I'll be around more soon.

Should be able to get tactics in by 8 tonight, just heading out but will hopefully be back.

tactics are up, im strengthened by the return of Waldrom at no8.

Anybody able to loan me a fly half?

well im missing farrell so Geraghty and Gopperth are in my 22..

but i have others if ya wanna take a look..

Meires could go out on loan.

Lads their is a vacancy on the other league for Wasps

Parling playing like a man possessed! Youngs looking good as well, he's thinking first, much more mature performance. For the Boks Louw is such a beast! Awesome tackler, carrier and at breakdown. SAs third choice back row would be better than most countries 1st!

Another lost line out though, FFS

Yea not going well at front. SA have best defensive lineout about so good test.

Battering the scrum tho

Ben youngs stop knocking the f unkind ball on you tool

Crying out for someone like burns to come on here and pick some gaps, instead we have Farrell.

Parling having a blinder pooly, don't see why people slate him, but so please he's back on form. It's his carrying that's impressed me strangely.

Two shocking passes from Farrell ruin two good attacks. Morgan is everywhere!

Our kick chase is so awful. Surprising as we have Farrell as the backs coach

Farrell is the attack stopper, just makes bad calls and executes them badly.

AB's looking very very good.

come on Samoa!

WTF was Robshaw doing with 2 mins left!

Right decision imo, reckon Farrell should've tried from range the penalty earlier.

Going to the corner only yields like one try from ten attempts or something silly like that!

Could have worked if we took the restart, bloody Botha!!

im still not happy with the decision Robshaw made, but there we go.

I know just one of those days. I went through the roof though when Farrell was arguing against Robshaw!

Wales getting a pummelling

I fancy fifty points to the Abs

15 man lineout?!?! Lol

It worked!! To be fair I'd be worried if I was England as well with this All Black form, Wales haven't exactly played awful.

Lads I'm after a backup number 8 as I don't have one. Will offer Sam Betty, clearly not expecting the world, just someone decent will do please

I could offer Jackson Wray

Unlucky pull

Don't think he'll struggle to find people who want to punch him in the face for money!

Poopie.

Can't beleive Biggs has been called up to train with England

Just commented on this on the main board, trying to be neutral on here seeming as he's my player and I'm a Bath fan in real life. Seems strange to have him over Wade, who is probably the best long term option, but it's great that Lancaster is recognising club form. He's been outstanding in terms of attack and defence for 18 months for us.

Biggs is a poor defender, really can't see the reasoning to call him up.

I'm not sure Wade is worth the call up yet either, especially not against NZ.

Well he's in the Saxons, so seems like pretty solid reasoning. If you don't think Wade is ready, that leaves you with Strettle as the only other option, as I believe Monye is injured.

Don't see why you think he's a poor defender! Genuinely think he's one of the best defensive wingers in the league. Yeah he's small, but doesn't get bounced and is very strong for his size, puts in some great hits.

I don't think he should be in the Saxons either but thats a different story I guess.

If Biggs starts against NZ I think SL has lost the plot, I'd even have Vardell over Biggs. I'd have Wade over him too but don't think he's quite ready.

Johnny May hurry up and get fit man!!!

Varndell is in great form also, huge attacking threat, but he really is terrible defensively.

Surprised that you think Wade isn't ready, but May is. Why's that?

May is a bit more rounded than Wade I think, both cracking prospects though.

Vardell looks better defensivley this year but agree can be an issue, better one on one than Biggs though.

Team for NZ then Pooly?

I'd want this

Corbs - huge blow if not fit, he's key
Youngs - really can't make up my mind on this. Like his physicality, but throwing was so poor. tempted to pick him to see if SA was a one off poor performance or if Fiji was a one off good performance (throwing wise)
Cole - first name on teamsheet
Parling - awesome at weekend
Launchberry - as above
Haskell
Robshaw - would love him to pick Steffon
Morgan

Care
Burns
Sharples - yep he had a shocker at Aus, but give him another go, otherwise his confidence will be shot
Barritt - last chance saloon
Tuilagi
Ashton
Goode

Would be seriously tempted with Goode at 10, Brown at 15, Burns off bench

I'd go with that pack Bathite, really stepped up against SA. I'd give Wood another go although he was poor.

Backline of

9. Youngs
10. Burns
11. Brown
12. Tuilagi
13. JJ
14. Ashton
15. Goode

Would you guys want to chuck Burns in at the deep end? I'd say stick with Flood (unless injured) as he's used to international rugby otherwise I'd be very worried that the All Blacks would target Burns.
