Aviva Premiership - Round 8
Table
Fixtures
Friday 18th November:
19:45 Bath Rugby v Bristol Rugby (live on BT Sport)
Referee: Ian Tempest
Assistant Referees: Philip Watters & Roger Baileff
TMO: Rowan Kitt
While missing players like Charteris, Ford & Joseph to international call-ups, Bath are not as badly affected as they might have been. A large(ish) injury list (with the likes of Denton, Louw and Watson ruled out by injury but may have been called up by their countries if fit) may be lessening, and rumours abound that Faletau will feature. If they are to make a decent fist of survival, Bristol have to get something out of fixtures like these when their opponents are not at full strength. However I struggle to see anything other than a TBP win for the home team.
19:45 Worcester Warriors v Northampton Saints
Referee: Greg MacDonald
Assistant Referees: Paul Dix & Peter Allan
TMO: Geoff Warren
Missing Hartley, Lawes, Harrison, North and Picamoles this could be a tough trip for Saints to Sixways. Whilst Worcester are still struggling with injuries and badly missing Hougaard at scrum half, this will be a fixture they hope to win and put some distance between themselves and Bristol.
20:00 Newcastle Falcons v Exeter Chiefs
Referee: Tim Wigglesworth
Assistant Referees: John Meredith & Gareth Copsey
TMO: Trevor Fisher
With just two wins in the AP, and struggles in Europe, last years losing finalists have been struggling for form of late. If Falcons are to capitalise they will need to stay on the right side of perhaps the most pedantic ref in England and pick someone other than Delaney at 10.
Saturday 19th November
16:30 Gloucester Rugby v Wasps
Referee: Dean Richards
Assistant Referees: Roy Maybank & Simon McConnell
TMO: David Rose
Wasps have been building some serious strength in their squad, and despite the injuries they still have in their squad should be sending a powerful team down to Kingsholm. Gloucester will be close to full strength and if they play well can score points against anyone. I feel they will miss Moriarty's grit in the back row and will come up short against a very confident Coventry team.
Sunday 20th November
13:00 Sale Sharks v Saracens (live on BT Sport)
Sarries fans may be apprehensive of this fixture, point to an injury list and international calls that will rob them of perhaps first choice players. However this is why they have splashed the cash to build a large squad. In what could be a rather attritional game, I suspect Sarries will out muscle Diamonds men.
15:15 Leicester Tigers v Harlequins (live on BT Sport)
Referee: Craig Maxwell-Keys
Assistant Referees: Paul Burton & Nigel Carrick
TMO: David Grashoff
Quins are missing the core of their team, Marler, Sinkler, Robshaw, Care, Roberts & Brown. Add in the injuries and it will be a weakened side, lacking in leadership, that travels to Welford Road. Despite their defensive woes this is the kind of game that Leicester have to win well if the critics are to stay off Cockerill's back.

Re: Aviva Premiership - Round 8
Bristol looked better in the AWC with a Hurrell and Woodward midfield. If that combination can remain and offer them some back line spark then it could see them do ok against an injury ravaged Bath midfield. Tough game up front where Bristol simply have to get on top of a still fairly formidable Bath unit.

Re: Aviva Premiership - Round 8
those half backs will make things hard for what otherwise looks a half decent back line for Falcons.

Re: Aviva Premiership - Round 8
I honestly don't have any idea why he persists with those two!!!!
Delayney is a big earner that's all I can think is why, as his performances certainly haven't warranted the gametime.
And Youngs....well lets not get started on him shall we....![Headscratch](/users/3014/26/22/82/smiles/3187153522.gif)
And im wondering what Chisanga has to do. Proper x-factor player that causes havoc in the opposition everytime he gets on the pitch.

Re: Aviva Premiership - Round 8
It's a big Exeter pack but there's no finesse or defensive jackler in the backrow. Dennis, Horstman and Waldrom is a lock and two 8's. Wilson and Welch have got the opportunity to target the breakdown. They will need to make their tackles though as there are some big ball carriers in that pack.

Not the team I'd have picked. Still fairly strong though the back line lacks balance to my mind. Great to see Crofty back but I'd still have found a way to involve Evans.

Seriously can't believe Walker is only getting a bench spot during the internationals. I know Yarde is back but still....
Actually not a half bad 1st XV for quins.

I would rather have seen Evans in the squad (and preferably starting) rather than Hamilton, and Roberts starting in the centre with one of the 10s on the bench.

Agree on Hamilton. I like him as a player but against Quins who are mobile and like to attack the breakdown this is a game for Evans. Saints now that would be a game for the tackle happy Hamilton.
I'd have kept the same back line as last weekend personally. Tait means less pace at 15 and Betham at 13 means that our direct running in the midfield is coming from Owen (unless miracles happen and Thompstone is finally allowed off his wing).

I always felt Falcons had a chance given Exeter's backrow injury list. It was a big pack to shackle though. Delaney the only real choice following Willis' red card last weekend?

Re: Aviva Premiership - Round 8
I don't think we deserved to win it but 5 points was lucky for them
However why on earth is delayney continued with. Willis should be playing!
And why is fonua and Chisanga not having more gametime. Hogg is a waning force...with little explosive power these days and Welch doesn't carry.
Ive said this for a few years. We need some power carriers....we have them but Dean doesn't pick them.

It was a pretty cut and dried spear tackle. I'm not sure there was much malice in it but he was always getting a red and a ban. Hodgson was on the bench again, he could have given Falcons a different option from the off.

Ah I forgot all about Willis ban...but its irrelevant as he hasn't been getting picked anyway.
Well for the first time in a long time...the Falcons fans on mass have the knives out for Dean it would seem.
Something about last night has riled them beyond anything as the feelings are heated on all the forums! Delayney and Youngs in particular getting the heat.

Ah I have no clue whatsoever is going on with Catterick. The mind boggles about what goes on behind the scenes!

Re: Aviva Premiership - Round 8
Are there rumours of Catterick leaving? Has he signed somewhere else and been frozen out by Deano?

Couldn't buy a decision at the minute. Wallace is dragged into touch and the TJ raises his flag, Quins play on and then he puts it back down. He's either out or he isn't?!?
