TACTICS TBC
As always, look to secure a platform up front. Two big scrummaging locks picked, along with world class Franks at cornerstone. Look to secure breakdown with two proven 7s. Great options off the bench with Tolufua, Eldstadt and Fearns all offering big physical impact against tired legs

Forwards
- Picked two opensides to dominate the breakdown. Both Salvi and Louw are great at the contact area
- Kalamafoni to provide ball carrying threat, Louw operates as link man, Salvi first to every ruck to compete
- Franks looks to get a squeeze on Porter for a mismatch and potential yellow card
- Muller will continue to make the lineout calls and look to challenge opposition throws for the steal

Backs
- Look to play in the opposition half, use the boots of Barkley and Daly to gain yardage. If nothing on / slow ball, use Banahan, Louw and Kalamafoni on the crash
- Classens and Barkley to target Garvey with kicks to the corner and up and unders for Bowe / Banahan to challenge
- Banahan picked at 12 to match Nonu's physicality and test him in defence
- Bowe look to catch Homer out of position and take advantage of pace mismatch

16. Ed Shervington 17. Louis Padian 18. Tevita Taumoepeau 19. Nile Dacres 20. Matt Kvesic 21. Shaun Perry 22. Andy Goode 23. Matt Hooper

Overall: Look for strong running rugby

Look to be competitive at scrumtime with Messam controlling it from the back. Figallo and Moore have a huge advantage over their opposing numbers and will really look to pressure the scrum. If we sense an advantage look to call the scrum whenever possible and go for penalties.

At the lineout we will look to secure our own ball and challenge the Bath throw. Mears is a bit flaky on his throw whilst Moore is very solid. Robson and Messam will be challenging in the air while Mostert will offer solid banker ball at the front.

As well as performing in the set piece we will be looking to get our forwards making some big carries in open play. We will be looking to get Messam/Robson/Moore/Morgan on the ball and making gains

Look to attack the breakdown hard and fast with lots of bodies looking to slow down or turn over Bath ball. Hooper is absolutely brilliant at getting over the ball and he will be backed up by Messam and Morgan looking to nuisance of themselves.

Strong half back combination will be looking to control the tempo of our game. Will Genia will play his natural game mixing it up with his passing and his sniping runs. Dan Carter is our main playmaker and will look to use his vast array of talents to adapt to the game. He will look to get his running and passing game involved while his kicking offers another option.

The back five will be looking to make inroads with their attacking running. Nonu will be look to make strong runs, crashing through defences. He will look to draw in defences to offer more space for our other runners. Freaun is a player in a similar vain to Nonu and will be used for his ability to get over the gainline. Homer, Beale and Garvey will be looking to make use of the spaces with their movement.

Use a blitz defence with huge intensity to put pressure on Bath decision makers. Kurtley Beale will sweep in behind for any grubbers which we will either counter generously or have a run at the defence.

TEAM NEWS: PIRI WEEPU MAKES DEBUT AS CAPTAIN

With players missing through 6 nations duty, also have chosen to rest other first team regualrs, so playing a fringe side, and seeing how they get on. Looking to be strong at the scrum and secure at the line out, look to get quuck ball to the backs with Varndell's pace looking to get past the quins defence. Also looking for drop goals to keep the board ticking over. The forwards in the 2nd half, will hopefully start to take advantage over a hopefully tiring defence, building phases and then giving the back quick ball to run onto.

Tactics

In the good conditions we’ll be looking to play a high tempo game and look for the offload. We’ll be looking for big carries from our pack to free up space around the fringes for out talented backline to work in. Barnes will look to dictate play in our half and pin the oppo back with directed kicking.

We will look to set a tone in the set piece with our big scrummaging front 5 and will look for the squeeze from the off. Price will lead the line and we will look to target the opposition's throw with Hargreaves/Cronje marshalling the front/middle of the line. We'll use big carries from our pack to draw in the opposition defence with Dickson marshalling and looking for gaps to exploit around the fringes.

The flankers will target the breakdown with Dickson sniping around and playing flat to the line to allow Barnes & JOC space to run into. Ioane will come looking for the ball in midfield and link up with JTH causing problems in the opposition midfield. We'll look to refresh pack around 60mins + and keep up the intensity.

- Look to get JOC onto the ball as much as possible
- Barnes to kick whats on offer and keep the board ticking over
- Barnes/JOC to alternate and dictate play
- Use Hargreaves as simple option in lineout as just signed
- Look to use scrum whenever possible and target the opp front row all game with impact bench
- Look to get back 3 into play whenever possible

16. Tom French 17. Scott Wilson 18. Tom Lindsay 19. Tim Swinson 20. David Sisi 21. Paul Hodgson 22. Dominic Waldlouck 23. Adam Thompstone

Tactics

We look to impose ourselves from the off and let the opposition know how we are going to play the game and how we want to dictate the pace of the game. Our brand of rugby is physical and fast, however we won't just run the ball at every opportunity. We will only play in the right areas of the paddock, and Evans knows when to attack and when we need to clear the lines. We will look to go through simple phases to reproduce quick ball to cut the defence open. We have brilliant leaders all other the pitch in POC, Easter and Evans, and they know what will be required to get we want from the game - a win. With the terrible conditions, they also know how we will want to play our game. We will look to force Wasps to play from in their 22 and use our strong lineout and kicking game to pressure them. After good form in Europe, we will continue to build on our great position in the league.

Tactics

• Gill and Wilson are solid technicians and will secure our own feed, to provide first phase possession for our backs. We have strong props on the bench as well, so we should not be outclassed throughout the game
  
  
• With a strong lineout, O'Connell will lead the lineout and use himself as banker ball at the front of the line with Mumm jumping in the middle. If winning own ball POC will look to call full number lineouts to tie in the Wasps fowards.
  
  
• Our whole pack is mobile and capable of snaffling ball at the breakdown. Collectively we will look to (legally!) slow down Tigers' ball as much possible, only committing men to rucks if the turnover is on, to prevent them any front foot ball for their big carriers.
  
  
• The backrow will target the halfbacks, allowing them no time on the ball, which will lead to them rushing and making handling errors and mistakes.
  
  
• We will look to keep the ball alive, preventing them from setting any defensive lines and moving the point of attack. Evans will direct traffic with the use of quick pods systems outside the guards of the rucks.
  
  
• Off any first phase possession, the blindside winger will come in to create options off Evans so that it can keep the defence guessing to whether we will go wide, or cut against the grain.
  
  
• We will look to test the Tigers back three with Evans throwing the bomb in and grubbers behind the blitz defence. Their back three can be got at here as they won't be the best defensively, and their urge to attack will find them short in most cases. All kicks will be chased.
  
  
• Look to use our strong bench for impact later in the game. To get an advantage in the scrum, and collisions with big impact players.
  
  
• Evans will kick all points, he can kick from within their half, so this indicates that Tigers should be wary of giving away penalties.
  
  
• At home we make it a struggle for anyone to even get a LBP at our fortress.

Tactics:

Once again, ordinary conditions means starts for James at fly-half for his ability to control the game, and Shaw in the engine room for added grunt (particularly in the scrums), while Tuilagi keeps his place on the wing after an effective performance last week. Look to dominate territory, using James's tactical kicking, but when we get the ball in opposition territory go for it, as conditions should allow some rugby to be played, and tries could be important for qualifying.

- Tuilagi to come off his wing looking for work in the middle. Use Hape's off-loading game to put him and Rougerie in space.

- don't be afraid of playing rugby. If it looks on, be prepared to spin the ball wide.

- dominate territory through James's boot, play in the right areas of the pitch.

- hit the breakdown hard when turnovers look possible, secure quick ball when in posession.

- Play a rush defense, looking to swamp the moves before they get going, and not give the opposition time to place their attacks. Always have at least a couple of players back to field kicks.

Tactics to be adapted depending on opposition and weather

This week we have a mix of experience and youthful vigor, giving some young guns like Itoje and Earle a run out off the bench, especially if the game needs breaking up. To that end, we will aim to build a solid platform early in the game then build attacking momentum from this. The general plan, as is in vogue, is to attain quick attacking ball. To do this, McCaw and Fraser will double up to attack rucks, ensuring one of them is there to get hands on the ball, with other forwards running in support of players to ruck over in units and clear players out. Quick ball will be moved around quickly, spinning fast to Hodgson and then attacking through 3 major channels- Allen at 12 with runners inside and Smith in support to capitalise on breaks he makes; Brits or Ben T on the pop aiming at 10; and inside passes to the blindside winger or Wyles. When ball is not quick, we will tight carry and maul with Botha, Big Ben, York etc and rely on Dupuy to play for territory when appropriate. We will run back ball kicked at the back 3 unless doing so is stupid.

Defence- blitz led by Smith, with Fraser rushing the 10 and McCaw harrying 9

Scrums- should be able to hurt any scrum with our front row, so aim to put the shove on. I'd like to see back row moves in the opponent's 22 as our back row are all handy ball-players. Attack the blindside on a call.

Lineout- lots of decent options but not our main caller so Botha to call and jump from the front. Mobile backrow, so go for long throws in attacking positions if the weather permits.

Kicking- Dupuy knows when to kick for the corner, let's have him doing that and height on other kicks, as McCaw is a fantastic kick chaser. Take any points on offer.

Subs- no pre-planned subs but make a couple of changes later on to blood players depending on where the players look most tired. If we need to loosen the match up, bring on Earles or Burns, to tighten it up Stanley at 12 adds another kicker. If we aren't making enough head way in the forward battle, let Billy go on a rampage

Most of all let's stay calm and play in their 22, no silly running from our 22 and make sure whenever anyone makes a break, carry, ruck, maul, kick or tackle, they have support to retain/turnover the ball

16. S. Kitshoff 17. B. Sharman 18. D. Herriot 19. James Craig 20. Phil Dowson 21. Lee Dickson 22. Ryan Lamb 23. Gael Fickou

Tactics

We will look to play a fast paced attacking game using big carriers running of the 9/10/12 axis to get us over the gain line and generate quick ball. Keeping the ball alive is crucial so our carriers will be looking for support runners to hit on the offload and get us further over the gain line. Our back three will look to get involved as much as possible running support lines of the halfbacks and midfield looking for the inside ball or offload. If for whatever reason we aren’t getting quick ball, we will look to take control of territory with the boots of Smith & Myler and force the opposition to come at us from deep.

• With a powerful front 5 on show we will look to keep the scrum up and use it as a weapon. On our own feed we will look to get the wheel on and give our 8-9-10 axis as much room as possible to attack from.

• In opposition territory, with 5 jumping options to use, we will look to play off the top and move the ball out to Myler and the backs. In our own territory, we will look to take the ball down into the maul and drive ourselves into the right areas.

• We will play an aggressive blitz on defence, playing on the edge of the offside line and coming up at pace, looking to isolate the ball carrier and stop any opposition momentum before it can get going.

• Smith will act as a sweeper and cover any chips or grubbers behind the defensive line.

• We will leave two players sitting deep to cover any kicks and they will look to counter attack of any loose ball.

• With the blitz in operation, we will look to be at the breakdown first hitting it hard and fast. If the ball looks available we will flood the breakdown with Clark looking to get his hands on the ball.

• If the ball is not immediately available we will only commit 1 or 2 players to legally slow the ball down and instead look to strengthen the defensive line.

Key Points

Big Match Experience
Alot of our players have the big game experience whether it's local derby's, world cup finals, 4 nations.

Flair in Backs
We have an exciting, young, back line available with JSD playing a mentoring role today, these boys want to play fast, attractive rugby.

Strong Backrow
Heavy and strong backrow who have all been rested at points recently ready for this league game, they can all alternate their jobs and have strong carrying options.
Attacking

• We want to force errors from Saints and will be sending our big runners down the 10-12 channel and looking for quick offloads.

• Robson and Burns to play what's in front of them and look to release Mills or snipe as much as possible. If it isn't on then Burns/Lambie will stick it in the corners and, with Whitelock, Savage and Cane we have a number of jumpers to gain the ball back.

• Look for runners off of 10 and 12 channel to make the initial break before sending the ball out wide to Sharples/JSD/Lambie.

• We will look to use our big pack to carry alot of ball and, if it isn't on then run off of 9 and take a couple of 'up the jumper' phases to drag defenders in.

• Our back three will look to come off their wings and hit the right angles.

• Flair in May and Efs to come off bench to shore up our victory and to keep the scoreboard ticking, James brings extra grunt and Narraway will have a field day against tired legs in open play.

Set Piece

• Strong scrum which will get the edge up on the tighthead side and a good bench to come on as well to continue the pressure, 8-9-10 is a move we will use alot.

• We will use the maul to get ourselves up the pitch quickly and power over from short distance.

• Lineout has been mentioned previously where we have many strong jumpers here who will look to control attacking and defensive ones.

Defending

• Banana blitz defence targetting 10 so he has no time to kick or give quick ball to the centres, we will protect the channels to stop 9 sniping.

• Kerr Barlow will look to sweep and counter attack off any kick through's.

• We will hit the breakdown quick to give Cane time to get over the ball and obliterate any protection they have in place.

• If the turnover isn't on we won't commit and will fan out defending inside-out.

Tactics

Cruden to stand flat and use Tuitupou and JJ to test there defence, as both Naqa and Folau are questionable in that area, especially Folau due to a lack of rugby game time, especially first phase were there will be a lack of cover for Folau.

Look to put there lineout under pressure with Gaskell and JMF especially adept in this area.

Look to take points when on offer

Use impact players from bench to make a difference.

Brady and Shephard to look for work and get on our centres shoulders.

- Dominate collisions and allow TJ fast ball to attack with
- Look to ruck over the ball and allow Steffon to get in amongst things
- Wilko to take 3 points on offer
- Look to keep ball in hand and work through the phases

You've got time to make a prediction nd get some cash chap

Bath 19 - 22 Worcester Warriors

Two teams with good THs, which will even out the front five battle, lineouts both have a good leader and so both will get parity here. Very similar backrows and hence a close breakdown battle. Warriors have a much better spine in the backs and will control the game from there. Bath have some dangerous backs but will suffer under the control of Genia and Carter.

---

Northampton Saints 24 - 23 Gloucester

Best game of the week. Up front its just even, as Saints props aren't in the best form, but the Glos unit is a little inexperienced. Secondrows are even both good arounf the park and at the lineout. The backrow and breakdown battle is close but with Qera and Cane in the lineup Glos will edge this battle. Halfbacks are both good, but edge again to Glos as an overall unit. into the backline I can see Saints overawing Mills, especially with SBW and Pisi running at him. Otherwise I'd have them as very close. With the decent Saints bench to come on and help finish the deal Myler will sink a few winning penalties.

---

Sale Sharks 27 - 24 Exeter Chiefs

This another great contest, up front for its even in the scrum and just in the lineout. Both have great operators in each department. At the breakdown I think Armitage will do some damage, but JMF and Garvey will look to negate him. There's a little more control from Sharks in the halfbacks, but the creativity of TJ will create some space. Chiefs take the centres, but more creativity form the Sharks back three edge them the backs. What separates the teams here are the benches for me and Sale bringing on Goosen will help them to a big home win.

---

London Irish 15 - 20 Saracens

Decent battle up front, but Ion is a weak link for Irish in comparison to the strong Sarries front five. Lineout will just go to Irish as Kennedy being a kingpin at the lineout will edge out Sarries. The breakdown battle is close but with McCaw and Fraser will dominate Saul. Sarries have more control in the backs, but Dupuy is a bit of weak link. Hodgson and Smith will lead the backs well. Simpson and James are in some good form, but the back line is lacking an edge, despite their ability. Sarries to kick into a decent lead and grew into a decent win.

---

Harlequins 32 - 12 London Wasps

A very strong pack from Quins and they will dominate the very depleted Wasps team. Wasps are a bigger step up outwide, but they will struggle being on the back foot against a such a strong team. Quins will take a strong home win.

Chelsea, I advise just doing a score predos and getting 1.5m
