Teamsheet please Pooly

Is this a 28-0 to Bordeaux? I probably won't be on over the weekend, so won't be able to change what would be easy win for Sarries normally.

Sorry lads, back in the UK this week and been crazy. Totally missed this.

Saracens 34-22 Bordeaux
I quite like Bordeaux. Have had a decent season and were only a fluffed kick away from the playoffs. But outside of Talebula and Poux they are weaker man for man and can't see them stopping Lambie/SBW/Fekitoa on the front foot.

Ok to change my predo now team is in?

Sarries 32-31 Bordeaux.

Saracens 30 Bordeaux 24

Much like above, Sarries better at every position- 30-20 to Sarries

Sarries 30-23 Bordeaux

Apologies for lateness lads.

First week off in UK since moving away, it's been a hectic week.

Sarries 36-23 Bordeaux

Just too much quality spread over the team

Sarries 29 - 22 Bordeaux

Sarries 27 22 Bordeaux

Sarries 33-24 Bordeaux

Not much to say about this one, Sarries have a full squad out and too many top class players to not win this with ease

RESULT:

Saracens 36-23 Bordeaux Begles
