Tactics
We will look to control territory and apply pressure on opposition in key areas looking to force mistakes. When in possession in the right areas, we will look to play a strong carrying game, attacking in groups so as to win the collisions and get over the gain line. Offloads will be kept to an absolute minimum as we look to sustain pressure deep in opposition territory. We will kick all penalties in opposition territory at goal and take the drop goal option whenever it’s available.

Yet again strength is clearly in the backs and also a lot of strength on the bench. Will look to get the ball to the backs and run the ball with a lot of speed and power in the backs. O'Connell will be strong in the line out as always. Weepu will be clever at S/H and look to box kick a lot. Godman will go for drop goals on occasions. Monye and Banahan on the wings provide good options. monye has pace and Banahan is supremely powerful and will run throughb brick walls. Hogg is the kicker and improves with each game.
Swarzeski will come off the bench on 60 minutes. Blair will come on for captain Weepu to bring fresh legs. Biggar comes on at 70 mins. Basteraud and Mermoz will come on together at 70 mins to close the game out.

TACTICS
- In difficult, windy conditions, we have picked a heavy ball carrying pack. We want to play all the rugby in their half, so will use the boots of Hook and Goode (Steyn and Daly off the bench) to pin Tigers back.
- With Muller calling the lineout, we'll look to challenge every throw and Batty has been picked for his consistent throwing ability to ensure we win our throws
- Second and back rows are areas we'd like to target, with much more bulk and carrying options. Parling / Launchbury could be light in scrums and hard yards
- Look to keep their defence narrow with SOB, Fearns, Attwood, Beattie, Healy smashing it up on the fringes. Classens to look to snipe
- Eastmond and Hook to mix up first receiver with slow ball to change point of attack. Eastmond and Goode available to offer at first/second receiver with quick ball
- Ranger to crash it up off slow ball to set up the ruck. A very mobile pack will get there first to smash and clear out, leaving quick ball for 9
- Use Ranger as a decoy to draw Manu out of the line, as he favours the big hit. Use pace of Biggs and Bowe to play off the shoulder of Eastmond / Goode
- Salvi picked as out and out 7, looking to be first to every ruck and bridge the tackled player, slowing ball and/or winning penalties. We will pick our rucks and not over commit to secured ball, rather looking to target isolated runners
- In defence, look to pressurise fly half. Flood can be got at if you get in his face and limit his options, forcing him deeper. Ranger to lead the rush, looking for the intercept on the floated pass and/or taking Tuilagi head on
- Fearns to come on for SOB when he appears slightly tired, his freshness will help to slow oppo ball at the ruck and look to force turnovers against tired legs

16. Jamie George 17. Martin Castrogiovani 18. Thomas Domingo 19. Richie Gray 20. Luke Wallace 21. Karl Dickson 22. Ian Madigan 23. Berrick Barnes
TACTICS:
- fast paced, attacking rugby with athletic pack moving opposition around park.
- target set piece, look to attack if weakness seen
- use Lydiate to target opposition runners and prevent any momentum with Warburton working in tandom looking for the turnover (with Cole, Launch backing up)
- attack the line and look to get ball through the backline using Manu as crash or decoy targeting opposition 13.
- Youngs to sweep up behind defensive line, Flood to play flat to line looking to fiz flat passes out to allow more time for backs
- Strong bench to add impact. Madigan on for Flood to up the tempo.
- Youngs to sweep in behind aggressive rush defence and give opp 10 no time on ball

We want to put the ball through the hands a bit more this week, with Wilko and 36 looking to put the ball into the hands of the likes of Vainikolo and Jane. Tipuric is effectively our 3rd centre, as well as making a nuisance of himself at the breakdown
Line out will have AWJ and Swinson as our main jumpers, with Robshaw being used as the 3rd option
Robshaw and Tipuric give us a true 7 and a 6.5, we want to exploit this round the park by winning turnovers in opposing territory. AWJ and Swinson are both good around the field, they and Webber will be charged with hitting rucks and punching holes in the defensive line.
Afoa is starting over Mas this week, to give us another good carrier and strong defender around the rucks to counter Picamoles hard running. Afoa is expected to hold up his end of the crum, giving Sturgess the opportunity to pressure Wilson on the other side. I want Peel to use his experience and veteran knowledge to put Wasps young scrum half under pressure, particularly around the scrum. Robshaw is also tasked with making Chudley's life difficult around the breakdown.
Of course, with Wilko we will take advantage of any penalties inside the opposition half and kick for goal. In attack, Twelvetrees will act as first receiver at times, giving us a double pivot. Vainikolo is free to come off his wing and run hard, likewise we are expecting Tatupu to make some dents in the defence. Afoa, Webber, Swinson and Faletau are our heavy carriers, with Tipuric offering a speedier option to go along with the backline. Nowell is free to attack at will and join the line.

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, using the nous of Pienaar and Farrell to play in the right areas of the pitch, off the back of our strong setpieces. We will look to go through simple phases to reproduce quick ball to cut the defence open. The side contains brilliant leaders all over the pitch in Picamoles, Borthwick, Pienaar, Wilson and Medard, and they know what will be required to get we want from the game - a win. With the decent conditions, we will look to play a simple expansive game in attack and in defence will look to force Chiefs to play from in their 22 and use our strong lineout and kicking game to pressure them.

Overall: Look for strong running rugby led by our half back combination who will look to control our tempo and keep us playing in the right areas. In the conditions we will look to establish set piece dominance and lots of forward carries with nothing too fancy
We are expecting to dominate the scrum with a good squeeze and will look to win penalties. If we experience looks of success here look to relentlessly target it
At the lineout we feel we can hold our own and if we can develop an advantage early we shall look to switch the game plan and look for corners with the boot. Kruger, Kitchener, Morgan and Haskell are all quality jumpers and we will look to switch up the lineout.
As well as performing in the set piece we will be looking to get our forwards making some big carries in open play. This will be key in the conditions and with our big runners we feel we can dominate. We will be looking to burst into space and makes gains with the likes of Morgan, Lee, Marler and Haskell on the ball.
Look to attack the breakdown hard and fast with lots of bodies looking to slow down or turn over Irishi ball. We have picked a back row that we feel can really target the breakdown with Kvesic our main man, backed up by Haskell.
Strong half back combination will be looking to control the tempo of our game. Kahn Fotuaili will play his natural game mixing it up with his passing and his sniping runs. Paddy Jackson 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. Freaun 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. Homer, Cuthbert and Beale will be looking to make use of the spaces with their running
Use a blitz defence with Beale trailing
With Fotuaili, Beale, Jackson, Shingler and Homer we have some quality boots and we will look to take advantage. If we experience dominance at the lineout look to put the ball into corners. Fotuali'i will also use his box kick abilities to give our players something to chase.
We will look to make full use of our bench. Porter, Radian + Currie are quality options who will look to get involved around the park and at scrumtime. Robson will look to come on add Grit. Betty can add his carrying for our pack. Hopper will look to challenge the Irish defence with his running

Tactics:
Breakdown
Approach as a unit, Bilky and Kelly clearing out hard and Richie stealing/securing quick ball. If the ball is lost, don't commit and defend instead. Fraser to come on later in the game with Richie at 6 to target them here.
Scrum- Richie to talk to referee early on about Jones' binding. Look to set a stable platform for Billy to run off.
Line out- Ryan calling, lots of options, mix up the maul to tire the opposition and off the top.
Challenge at the middle but not front to give them easily manageable front ball and focus on defence, except in their 22 where we will challenge everything
Defence- blitz led by Allen, Richie to harry their HBs, Parra sweeping and covering the fringe break with Brown.
Attack- spin fast ball to Allen as the point of attack (off Hodgson flat), with the rest in support looking to offload to change the focus and mix it up with Halfpenny and Vunipola coming for the pop inside Allen and Hodgson.
Slow ball- drive it in packs of 3 forwards, maul it or have Parra kick into space or the corners. Parra to decide when to play and when to grind. All kicks to be chased and if they are in space, make them high to do so.
In their 22- mix up tight and loose play and look to crossfield kick. Take all kick able points
Subs- use when needed with all pack going 100% knowing we can replace them. Care can add tempo if needed

When in possession in the right areas, we will look to play a strong carrying game, attacking in groups so as to win the collisions and get over the gain line. Offloads will be kept to an absolute minimum as we look to sustain pressure deep in opposition territory. We will kick all penalties in opposition territory at goal and take the drop goal option whenever it’s available.
- In these conditions the scrum will be an important weapon. With a powerful front 5 on show we will look to keep it up and take full advantage drawing penalties from opposition.
- With handling an issue we want to keep things simple and use Bekker, Wood and Lawes as banker ball at the lineout. We will look to bring the ball down into the maul and use the physicality of our pack to drive us into the right areas.
- We will look to blitz aggressively, 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.
- Lee DIckson will act as a sweeper and cover any chips or grubbers behind the defensive line.
- The back 3 will sit deep to cover any kicks down the line and 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 it with Wood 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.

With the decent conditions, we will look to play a simple expansive game in attack and in defence will look to force Chiefs to play from in their 22 and use our strong lineout and kicking game to pressure them.
- James and Wilson are solid technicians and will secure our own feed. A big target for us here is to get under the front-row and make them go backwards with constant pressure, from the whole front five as a unit.
- With a strong lineout, Borthwick will lead the lineout and use himself as banker ball at the front of the line with Pape jumping in the middle. If winning own ball Borthwick will look to call short numbers lineouts to allow, Higgy/Pickles a run at the defence in midfield.
- Our whole pack is mobile and capable of snaffling ball at the breakdown. We will look to offload in the tackle to keep moving the point of attack and tire out the Chiefs pack, this will keep the likes of Afoa, Webber, AWJ and Faletau on the move.
- The backrow will target the halfbacks, which will lead to them rushing and making handling errors and mistakes. Big empahsis on running forwards down the ten channel when there is slow ball.
- We will look to keep the ball alive, preventing them from setting any defensive lines. As the Lions proved, Farrell can play flat and bring in great attacking play, and Saili will help the creative play.
- We will use a blitz drift line in defence to cut down Wilkos options and push him inside towards our backrow.
- Look for Pickles to run down Wilkos channel off scrums, and big carries down this channel in open play.
- 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.
- farrell will kick all points, he can kick from within their half, so this indicates that Chiefs should be wary of giving away penalties.

Overall: Look for strong running rugby led by our half back combination who will look to control our tempo and keep us playing in the right areas. In the conditions we will look to establish set piece dominance and lots of forward carries with nothing too fancy
We are expecting to dominate the scrum with a good squeeze and will look to win penalties. If we experience looks of success here look to relentlessly target it
At the lineout we feel we can hold our own and if we can develop an advantage early we shall look to switch the game plan and look for corners with the boot. Kruger, Kitchener, Morgan and Haskell are all quality jumpers and we will look to switch up the lineout.
As well as performing in the set piece we will be looking to get our forwards making some big carries in open play.

Look to attack the breakdown hard and fast with lots of bodies looking to slow down or turn over Irishi ball. We have picked a back row that we feel can really target the breakdown with Kvesic our main man, backed up by Haskell.
Strong half back combination will be looking to control the tempo of our game. Kahn Fotuaili will play his natural game mixing it up with his passing and his sniping runs. Paddy Jackson 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. Freaun 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. Homer, Cuthbert and Beale will be looking to make use of the spaces with their running
Use a blitz defence with Beale trailing
With Fotuaili, Beale, Jackson, Shingler and Homer we have some quality boots and we will look to take advantage. If we experience dominance at the lineout look to put the ball into corners. Fotuali'i will also use his box kick abilities to give our players something to chase.
We will look to make full use of our bench. Porter, Radian + Currie are quality options who will look to get involved around the park and at scrumtime. Robson will look to come on add Grit. Betty can add his carrying for our pack. Hopper will look to challenge the Irish defence with his running

Tactics:
Breakdown
Approach as a unit, Bilky and Kelly clearing out hard and Richie stealing/securing quick ball. If the ball is lost, don't commit and defend instead. Fraser to come on later in the game with Richie at 6 to target them here.
Scrum- Richie to talk to referee early on about Jones' binding. Look to set a stable platform for Billy to run off.
Line out- Ryan calling, lots of options, mix up the maul to tire the opposition and off the top.
Challenge at the middle but not front to give them easily manageable front ball and focus on defence, except in their 22 where we will challenge everything
Defence- blitz led by Allen, Richie to harry their HBs, Parra sweeping and covering the fringe break with Brown.
Attack- spin fast ball to Allen as the point of attack (off Hodgson flat), with the rest in support looking to offload to change the focus and mix it up with Halfpenny and Vunipola coming for the pop inside Allen and Hodgson.
Slow ball- drive it in packs of 3 forwards, maul it or have Parra kick into space or the corners. Parra to decide when to play and when to grind. All kicks to be chased and if they are in space, make them high to do so.
In their 22- mix up tight and loose play and look to crossfield kick. Take all kick able points
Subs- use when needed with all pack going 100% knowing we can replace them. Care can add tempo if needed

Overall: Look for strong running rugby led by our half back combination who will look to control our tempo and keep us playing in the right areas. In the conditions we will look to establish set piece dominance and lots of forward carries with nothing too fancy
We are expecting to dominate the scrum with a good squeeze and will look to win penalties. If we experience looks of success here look to relentlessly target it
At the lineout we feel we can hold our own and if we can develop an advantage early we shall look to switch the game plan and look for corners with the boot. Kruger, Kitchener, Morgan and Haskell are all quality jumpers and we will look to switch up the lineout.
As well as performing in the set piece we will be looking to get our forwards making some big carries in open play. This will be key in the conditions and with our big runners we feel we can dominate. We will be looking to burst into space and makes gains with the likes of Morgan, Lee, Marler and Haskell on the ball.
Look to attack the breakdown hard and fast with lots of bodies looking to slow down or turn over Irishi ball. We have picked a back row that we feel can really target the breakdown with Kvesic our main man, backed up by Haskell.
Strong half back combination will be looking to control the tempo of our game. Kahn Fotuaili will play his natural game mixing it up with his passing and his sniping runs. Paddy Jackson 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. Freaun 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. Homer, Cuthbert and Beale will be looking to make use of the spaces with their running
Use a blitz defence with Beale trailing
With Fotuaili, Beale, Jackson, Shingler and Homer we have some quality boots and we will look to take advantage. If we experience dominance at the lineout look to put the ball into corners. Fotuali'i will also use his box kick abilities to give our players something to chase.
We will look to make full use of our bench. Porter, Radian + Currie are quality options who will look to get involved around the park and at scrumtime. Robson will look to come on add Grit. Betty can add his carrying for our pack. Hopper will look to challenge the Irish defence with his running

Re: Aviva Premiership Round Two (Rugby Championship)
Harlequins make 3 changes from last weeks side which lost to Wasps with Joe Grey , Jack Clifford and Jared Payne coming in for Ben Kayser , Nick Easter and Jared Payne.
'We felt that this week we needed more explosive players in our side and bringing Jack and Jared in certainly gives us that. Jack is a massive ball carrier and will give us a lot more tempo outwide whilst Jared will look to get his hands on the ball and create things. Nick is a great 8 for controling things but with Wiggs at 9 we already have a great controller and we needed the extra fire power. Ollie Lindsey Hague was great last week when he got the ball but didn't really go find the ball whilst Jared will go look for things and make them happen''

Yet again strength is clearly in the backs and also a lot of strength on the bench. Will look to get the ball to the backs and run the ball with a lot of speed and power in the backs. O'Connell will be strong in the line out as always. Weepu will be clever at S/H and look to box kick a lot. Godman will go for drop goals on occasions. Monye and Banahan on the wings provide good options. monye has pace and Banahan is supremely powerful and will run throughb brick walls. Hogg is the kicker and improves with each game.
Swarzeski will come off the bench on 60 minutes. Blair will come on for captain Weepu to bring fresh legs. Biggar comes on at 70 mins. Basteraud and Mermoz will come on together at 70 mins to close the game out.

We want to put the ball through the hands a bit more this week, with Wilko and 36 looking to put the ball into the hands of the likes of Vainikolo and Jane. Tipuric is effectively our 3rd centre, as well as making a nuisance of himself at the breakdown
Line out will have AWJ and Swinson as our main jumpers, with Robshaw being used as the 3rd option
Robshaw and Tipuric give us a true 7 and a 6.5, we want to exploit this round the park by winning turnovers in opposing territory. AWJ and Swinson are both good around the field, they and Webber will be charged with hitting rucks and punching holes in the defensive line.
Afoa is starting over Mas this week, to give us another good carrier and strong defender around the rucks to counter Picamoles hard running. Afoa is expected to hold up his end of the crum, giving Sturgess the opportunity to pressure Wilson on the other side. I want Peel to use his experience and veteran knowledge to put Wasps young scrum half under pressure, particularly around the scrum. Robshaw is also tasked with making Chudley's life difficult around the breakdown.
Of course, with Wilko we will take advantage of any penalties inside the opposition half and kick for goal. In attack, Twelvetrees will act as first receiver at times, giving us a double pivot. Vainikolo is free to come off his wing and run hard, likewise we are expecting Tatupu to make some dents in the defence. Afoa, Webber, Swinson and Faletau are our heavy carriers, with Tipuric offering a speedier option to go along with the backline. Nowell is free to attack at will and join the line.

TACTICS
- In difficult, windy conditions, we have picked a heavy ball carrying pack. We want to play all the rugby in their half, so will use the boots of Hook and Goode (Steyn and Daly off the bench) to pin Tigers back.
- With Muller calling the lineout, we'll look to challenge every throw and Batty has been picked for his consistent throwing ability to ensure we win our throws
- Second and back rows are areas we'd like to target, with much more bulk and carrying options. Parling / Launchbury could be light in scrums and hard yards
- Look to keep their defence narrow with SOB, Fearns, Attwood, Beattie, Healy smashing it up on the fringes. Classens to look to snipe
- Eastmond and Hook to mix up first receiver with slow ball to change point of attack. Eastmond and Goode available to offer at first/second receiver with quick ball
- Ranger to crash it up off slow ball to set up the ruck. A very mobile pack will get there first to smash and clear out, leaving quick ball for 9
- Use Ranger as a decoy to draw Manu out of the line, as he favours the big hit. Use pace of Biggs and Bowe to play off the shoulder of Eastmond / Goode
- Salvi picked as out and out 7, looking to be first to every ruck and bridge the tackled player, slowing ball and/or winning penalties. We will pick our rucks and not over commit to secured ball, rather looking to target isolated runners
- In defence, look to pressurise fly half. Flood can be got at if you get in his face and limit his options, forcing him deeper. Ranger to lead the rush, looking for the intercept on the floated pass and/or taking Tuilagi head on
- Fearns to come on for SOB when he appears slightly tired, his freshness will help to slow oppo ball at the ruck and look to force turnovers against tired legs

Tactics
We will look to control territory and apply pressure on opposition in key areas looking to force mistakes. When in possession in the right areas, we will look to play a strong carrying game, attacking in groups so as to win the collisions and get over the gain line. Offloads will be kept to an absolute minimum as we look to sustain pressure deep in opposition territory. We will kick all penalties in opposition territory at goal and take the drop goal option whenever it’s available.

Offloads will be kept to an absolute minimum as we look to sustain pressure deep in opposition territory. We will kick all penalties in opposition territory at goal and take the drop goal option whenever it’s available.
- In these conditions the scrum will be an important weapon. With a powerful front 5 on show we will look to keep it up and take full advantage drawing penalties from opposition.
- With handling an issue we want to keep things simple and use Bekker, Wood and Lawes as banker ball at the lineout. We will look to bring the ball down into the maul and use the physicality of our pack to drive us into the right areas.
- We will look to blitz aggressively, 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.
- Lee DIckson will act as a sweeper and cover any chips or grubbers behind the defensive line.
- The back 3 will sit deep to cover any kicks down the line and 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 it with Wood 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.

Just scores for now:
Quins 25 - 25 Saints
Sale 26 - 22 Falcons
Bath 24 - Tigers 26
Exeter 28 - 28 Wasps
Worcester 25 - Irish 22
These may change when I take a closer look but they should be about right

Harlequins 23-22 Northampton
FR: Proven unit of Saints, but all not in great form. Schuster and JJ are beasts of scrummagers, but neither played under the new rules yet. Draw, but better bench options for Saints
LK: Saints have bigger names, but not huge form from either, again, better bench though. Draw
BR: Like Quins flankers, but Wilson might school Clifford a bit and Clark good option. WC Wood wins this for Saints
HB: Saints by quite a bit
CE: 1 pro, 1 untested in both teams - draw
B3: Saints edge this
Saints have the bigger names, but they need some form, so the front 5 edge a home win.

Quins 20-23 Saints
Like the Saints pack even with Ferris, and think they are good enough to starve Quins backs of enough ball to have an impact. Line out could be an issue for Quins too
Bath 24-26 Tigers
Almost too close to call, but Tigers have the edge at the scrum and slightly in the backs, enough to squeeze past Bath.
Sale 26 - 17 Falcons
Sale's strength is the front and back rows, both comparatively weak for Newcastle. That coupled with a good set of backs is enough for a good win
Warriors 19 - 23 Irish
Irish have a very balanced team not too affected by the rugby championship, and I like the matchup against Worcester's back row especially.
Saracens 20 - 19 Glos
Very tight game between two strong sides. McCaw, halfpenny and Parra give Sarries the best 3 players on the park, that is enough for them to pick up the win in a close one

Re: Aviva Premiership Round Two (Rugby Championship)
Harlequins 22 - 26 Northampton Saints
Just a bit too much through the spine of the Saints team which takes it away from the Quins. Quins have some brilliant attackers with ball in hand, but there is also a slight issue in defence in the backline for me. Sexton and Dickson to boss the game and keep it away from the Quins.
Bath 28 - 26 Leicester Tigers
Game of the week. The Tigers first real test of the season and what a cracker. Up front Bath do have the weight in their favour and that well bear some dividends in the loose and set piece. But Corbs up against Tomascyuk is a bit of a mis-match in quality. Ranger against Manu is an Earth shattering contest. Both sides well set up, but I'm giving it to Bath as Hook will win the game late one with a long range penalty.
Sale Sharks 29 - 16 Newcastle Falcons
Sharks have too much strength in the areas where Falcons are weakest. Falcons have some decent backs but, Sale are just as well set up and with the better and cleaner ball from up front they will score better.
Worcester Warriors 20 - 23 London Irish
A stronger platform and more experienced players benefit Irish, great back-row contest perhaps just edged by Wuss. Out wide its a much tighter contest. Wuss can attack a bit more on the counter, but Irish will profit from an advantage in the centres. Tough one to decide, but Laidlaw can slot a few more over than Beale.
Saracens 27 - 24 Gloucester
Good game here, Sarries are lacking in the tight at scrum time. But around the park their front row has a real advantage. If it were raining I would edge to Glos, but the Sarries boys can hold there own. Similar story in the lineout, but Glos are the boys in a slight disadvantage. There is a tad more quality in the sarries back row, but glos don't lack in effort. McCaw's form tagged with Billy V edge here. The spines of both back lines are strong, but there is lot more to come from the Saracens back three, and the metronomic boot of Halfpenny wins them the game at home.
