TACTICS
- In the heavy wind and rain, focus on a traditional french league set piece based game. Look to the rolling maul as an option from the lineout and use the 8 to pick and go from the base of the scrum, committing defenders to the breakdown
- In our own half play the territory game, looking to clear the lines where possible, making touch. Use the up and under when out of the 22, with Smith, Hooper and Ranger looking to challenge in the air, where they are really strong
- In attacking possession, look to tie in defenders with Ouedraogo, Hooper and Mowen all great at picking and going around the corner
- FTD plays flat on the gainline with three options;
- with back row, Strauss and Retallick offering the powerful crash runners on the inside and pop
- FTD to look to take it on physically with back row clearing out
- look to runners in behind back rows to release Fofana on the fade or Ranger on the cut back
- In defence, we look to slow the ball by committing to the break down. We don't mind encouraging the opposition to look for the outside channels, as handling conditions will be tough. FTD leads the rush defence, with 9 sweeping and the blindside wing and full back covering for the kick return
- IMPACT - Mako, Timani, Qera all big carrying options from the 50th minute against a tired defence

Set piece - use scrum as a restart, quick ball with a front row used to playing together. Mumm to call lineout, use Read and Johnson as second options. Target their lineout as they lack an established caller
Breakdown - work in pairs, one to smash Hooper who can be got at physically and second man in to secure ball. On their ball be selective, look to maintain a strong defensive line and only look for the turnover when its on, Launchbury and Read to support the flankers
Attack - Ewers as our primary tight carrier, go tight to the ruck and tie in their defenders then spin out with Cruden and Slade both able to playmake, with runners like Hill and Folau off their shoulder
Defence - no weak link in the backs, use the boots to get us into the right areas, we think they lack a second kicker in the backs so happy to play a territorial game

With the conditions not being particuarly easy to play free flowing rugby in, we're looking to go for territory. Two kicking options at 10 and 12 mean we can get down into the oppo 22, and try to use attacking lineouts. Tom Youngs offers a good hooking option with Bonfils replacing him after 60 mins.. Flanquart and Pape carry the ball and look to make ground, with Parisse the real attacking force in the forward pack. Dupuy will look for quick ball to unlock the talented backs. Digby Ioane will use his pace to try and get over the gainline and make good ground. Huget will also look to run the ball and look for tries.
Plisson, Bonneval and lyons will all come on too boost the side as we look to take advantage of the tiring defence..

Tactics:
Breakdown- backed up by the likes of Hibbard etc, Robshaw and Kvesic to work in tandem to ensure we always have a flanker to secure quick ball. Otherwise do not overcommit to ball already going to one side for definite.
Attack- carries from the pack or pops off 10 when slow ball, using Robshaw as first receiver when helpful, then look to be very freestyle with quick ball, looking to play off Care attacking the fringes, with the flankers linking, Morgan in support as a rampaging 2nd phase carrying option off the inside backs and Giteau and Hook both secondary play makers. The back 3 and Trinder to come in for clever lines out of position and leave the defence having to guess what angle the attack is coming from. When the ball goes straight to Giteau, he will play flat and attack the line, but we will mix attacking off 9 and using Robshaw, Morgan, Giteau, Hook and Brown at first receiver.
Defence- huge workrate from the flanks who both regularly notch over 20 tackles and will look to be aggressive off the fringes. Drift defence as it suits our backs but with our pack and Care helping the scramble and Brown marshalling at the back
Scrum- look to dominate and drive forward as much as possible, with Morgan running off the base to set up backrow moves with our linking flankers, give Care space to attack off the offload or feed straight to Giteau playing flat. Really attack their scrum, we are world class here
Lineout- the backrow give us lots of options, look to mix it up and play attacking moves off the top. Target Youngs' throwing.
Kicking- Care NOT to box kick but to use 10, 12 and 15 as his outs. He can use his attacking kicking as much as needed and this is a weapon. All kicks to be chased hard. Our back 3 will run back, not kick back, kicks
Subs- We have a like for like replacement for Morgan if he tires and tyros in the backline with 10 and 12 very flexible
Overall- look to be very attacking and mix up our angles of attack

Set piece - use scrum as a restart, quick ball with a front row used to playing together. Mumm to call lineout, use Read and Johnson as second options. Target their lineout as they lack an established caller
Breakdown - work in pairs, one to smash Hooper who can be got at physically and second man in to secure ball. On their ball be selective, look to maintain a strong defensive line and only look for the turnover when its on, Launchbury and Read to support the flankers
Attack - Ewers as our primary tight carrier, go tight to the ruck and tie in their defenders then spin out with Cruden and Slade both able to playmake, with runners like Hill and Folau off their shoulder
Defence - no weak link in the backs, use the boots to get us into the right areas, we think they lack a second kicker in the backs so happy to play a territorial game

Re: Euro League Round 2 - Updated thread PREDOS OPEN
Predos are OPEN
Close at 9am on Friday, hopefully someone can do the results after that, or tell me how so I can do them!
Please do try to predict, even if just scores but the more detail the better

Montpelier 26-21 Exeter
Prefer the Monteplier front five. Back rows are interesting but I think Montpelier can get have a big impact at the breakdown. Exeter have an incredible half backs pairing but outside backs go to Montpelier mainly as I do not see them being able to contain Fofana
Stade 22-29 Gloucester
Such a strong front row from Gloucester but a nice second row pairing from Stade. Like the Gloucester back row combination. The backs from Gloucester are very strong which gives them the advantage.
Irish 25-23 Connacht
Irish have the overall strength in the front five but can see Sam Whitelock really being a huge advantage at the lineout. Also like Irish in the back row but think Connacht have the backs advantage especially with their half back combination

Stade 23 - 29 Gloucester
Glos front row is excellent, more even at the line out with two dodgy throwers and both teams lacking the outstanding lineout jumpers to take advantage. Robshaw and Kvesic will have a field day at the breakdown against those flankers, think Stade need some work there. Steyn is never a 12 and Farrell is struggling for form so Glos take the outside backs too. Like the Stade bench though, a couple of those should be in the first team IMO. Good win for Glos
London Irish 20 - 22 Connacht
Front rows about even, and Whitelock just gives Connacht the lineout edge. I give Irish the edge at the breakdown with the likes of Bismarck and Cowan just cancelling out McCaw. Halfbacks to Connacht, and I'll give them the outside backs too. Some good impact from the Irish bench. Tough one to call but i'll give it to Connacht, just
Scarlets 28 - 23 Newcastle
Really like the Newcastle front row and think they can get an edge on here. Big second row from Scarlets will help counter this to an extent. Line out is tough to call, Scarlets have some massive lads in the pack but are reliant on Vermeulen to jump middle and back, while Hartley is excellent here and Falcons have a lot of options. Scarlets take the breakdown, halfbacks to Newcastle with Priestland/Genia lacking form. Scarlets outside backs are excellent

Montpelier 28- 27 Exeter
Montpelier get ahead with a great unit in the scrum, but Ex take the second row in general despite Retallick being there. 2 good lineouts maybe edged by the extra back row jumpers for Montpelier. The back row is very interesting, with nice blends. The breakdown would go to the French side on backrow alone but Launchbury evens it all out and both are well balanced but very different. Loose carrying by Read and Hooper makes this an exciting game. HBs just go to Exeter with a better 9, and then in yhe outside backs, better all around game to Exeter but outright attack by Montpelier is devastating. Pretty similar tactics, a bit more on attack by Bathite, who also has a slightly stronger bench and just nabs the win
Irish 26 vs 24 Connacht.
On form, court can give Franks a battle and it's the centrepoint of a scrum contest I think comes out about even. Lineout edged by Irish and I think that the breakdown would be to Irish if Bissy were in top form. As it is, it's close. Connacht edge 9 and 10 with a good combo, then the centres would be to Irish if Manu were fit and firing. Equal as it is. Like both pairings. North will score on Lewington but overall back 3 to Irish who take the win
Scarlets 26 - 20 falcons
Falcons take the scrum with an inform and powerful front row. Evens in lineout but Scarlets second row add a lot around the park. This is mitigated by the usefulness of Falcons front row in the loose though. Scarlets backrow overpower the lighter Falcons back row. Then they have one HB a piece, but Scarlets backs offer a fair bit more in attack (aside from Savea!) with a deadly attacking line, and with no tactics this helps Scarlets win.
