  • Solid set piece, using the line-out and scrums to set up attacking points either by mauls to draw in defenders or an 8,9, winger set play to create momentum or try scoring opportunities.

Bath 22-19 Connacht

Bath have a better side but cannot see them connecting the dots to score as many as they should do. Front 5 even and bath have a better backrow but as a pack so light on carriers.

Can't see how bath carry ball and against other teams would lose:

Halfbacks to bath with wiggles steady and in form. He will put them in right places and take right options. Likewise Hodson will put runners in space but bath centres lack creativity. Having watched Kieran marmion live today I think he is easy to rattle. I thought he was a young lad but programme had him
As 28??

Bath bench a step up

Irish 28-16 dragons

Irish rotating but half backs and outside backs storm it. Petersen and bennet are talents. Both were on my list did not realise they were in the game. Shrewd signing

Exeter 32-18 Cardiff

Warburton aside Exeter take pack and have more options on backs. Will dominate possession but as good as centres are they are not a pair and Dunbar out of position. They stifle the attack . However Exeter have a huge work rate pack with great carriers in lee and sob. Generally they are better and despite Lopez and white showing they are maybe not good int players they are mighty effective club players and will really dominate here. Easy win

Bath Rugby 28 - 19 Connacht Rugby

Good contest up front with Connacht renowned for their hard work up front. But the quality on show from Bath up front means that things eventually start moving their way. The quality at half back for Bath allows them to control the game and play in the right places on the pitch. The likes of Marmion, Henshaw and O'Halloran are capable of moments to scare Bath, but in the end the home side have enough to put the visiting Celts to the sword. 

London Welsh 22 - 24 Saracens

Looking at the sides, I presume Kepu is supposed to be starting for Welsh. Not marking Welsh down as this would be more of a mistake, rather than picking someone who is injured!

Sarries just edge the battle up front with Cole providing a strong base at the scrum and not having much trouble from Catt. Welsh will edge the second rows and have an edge at the line out, but sarries overall are more effective at the breakdown, with Clark prominent in this area. Spencer has been in fine form and will keep his forwards ticking over and the scoreboard for Welsh. Hougaard and Lambie international quality and they will provide a fizzing attack with their pace of service, but it has been a while since hougaard has been considered as a starting nine and can see his service being a bit hit and miss at points. Laulala is a solid presence in midfield and will keep mermoz and williams relatively quiet and provide Tompkins and Nadolo good service to run rampage. But the quality of the Sarries bench and having someone like Steyn come on to kick the home side into territory and slot penalties will see the away side edge the win. 

London Irish 25 - 19 Newport Gwent Dragons

Despite Irish rotating in the end they will wear down a rugged and hard working Dragons side. The experience in key positions late on and coupled with the home advantage sees Irish take, not an easy win, but a win nonetheless.

Bath 36-17 Connacht

Plenty of strength from Bath and a good bench to see out the game.

Irish 30-18 Newport

I've liked the look of the Dragons this season but Irish have the balance right and will bag a decent win.

Exeter 34-20 Cardiff

Another pretty routine win with Exeter quite strong and easing away in the 2nd half.

Bath 28 - 7 Connacht
Bath just too strong here - can't really see Connacht troubling the scoreboard.

London Irish 28-10 Newport Dragons
Relatively routine for the home side, a few of the youngsters stop it being a landslide - still a big win against a team that has been awful in the Rabo.

Exeter Chiefs 35 - 18 Cardiff
Another poorly performing team in the Rabo, gives the home team a strong win as only position where Cardiff have an advantage is with Warburton.

London Welsh 24 - 30 Saracens
Just see the away team having too much in the pack and at the breakdown to give a great attacking platform. Really like the Welsh backline but they won't get enough ball overall to win - they've also gone with a lot more youngsters, so a hard lesson for some of them.

Bath 19-12 Connacht
Bath flanks give a good advantage and the Sarries combo at halfback control territory for them

Irish 34-26 Dragons
Irish stronger man for man

Chiefs 25-19 Blues
Chiefs backs dont get fully firing but pack and late impact sees comfortable win

Welsh 27-31 Saracens
Sarries pack can get on top at the breakdown and give that 10-12-13 combo some great ball to play off

Bath 37-20 Connacht

Too much power up front for Bath, and the halfback partnership is proven to cut teams apart when they have that level of dominance, and Amos, Saili and Sivivatu are more than capable of running in plenty of scores off the back of it.

Irish 27-19 dragons

Irish have got the blend of youth and quality right in the pack, and there's plenty of attacking talent in Bennett and Allen to see them home easily

Exeter 24-17 Blues

some big hitters in the Exeter line up gives them a real platform up front, and Lopez/White will run the game. Solid looking back line means not the highest scoring game, but result never in doubt

Welsh 23-27 Saracens

Sarries gone with more international class players in the pack, and it shows with Cole dominating the scrum and the back row winning the breakdown. Closer in the backs, but the 10-12-13 combo for Sarries wins this for them on the road.

Bath 28-15 Connacht
Bath's backrow and backline will be too strong for Connacht here.

Chiefs 24-16 Blues
Chiefs have enough fire power up front and back line steady enough to take the win.

Welsh 20-24 Sarries
Can see the Sarries pack causing Welsh trouble meaning the Welsh backline which looks pretty good won't have enough ball and Sarries backline will be on the front foot.
