Quins

First topic message reminder :

Great rugby last night from Quins, best rugby we have seen in the Prem this season.... Watch out Sarries!

It gets ignored chequeredjersey because other sides suffered just as much if not more absentees.

Also you make it out as if squad men are equally as important as your first XV.

Losing Care to injury is not the same as losing Mayhew for example.

Good point, having a relatively good rotation of players and a fresh first team didn't help us win. In fact, we should feel lucky to be allowed to say we won at all with the unfair advantage we had, basically cheated our way to victory.

Sorry, shouldn't have gotten snappy, but my point was that the injuries forced relative rotation that kept our first 15 fresh, as did failure in Europe. There was no need to say "Sarries had even more injuries and Quins were lucky to have few players at the World Cup" because though both points were undoubtedly true, neither was relevant to what I was saying nor were constructive

My main point being trying to find a silver lining in our current pack injuries

Guscott didn't watch last week and thinks Robshaw needs a big game. Which he does, in terms of us winnjng but I don't buy that needs one for his England place. If anything, Kvesic needs a decent game

I'd have thought it would be To Robshaw and one of Wood or Kvesic on the flank in the AIs. Robshaw isn't in great form but so far none of the England flankers are.
