I think I have missed this round, but where do I check the squad I have at the Gardens?

You're still ok for this week, barely anyone has a side in yet

https://www.606v2.com/t44510-northampton-saints-squad-fantasy-rugby-2016-2017

That's the latest squad

I will update this tomorrow morning most likely, so you still have time to get a side in!

Predictions Open - to me - and open until Thursday 0900

Summer Tournament - Round 2 Results

Exeter Chiefs 25 - 23 Bath Rugby

Leinster Rugby 25 - 25 Saracens

Harlequins 27 - 28 Northampton Saints

Leicester Tigers 24 - 27 Crusaders

Hurricanes 29 - 26 Worcester Warriors

Sale Sharks 32 - 27 Gloucester Rugby

Newcastle Falcons 24 - 24 ASM Clermont Auvergne

Wasps 24 - 24 London Irish

Predictions Bonuses:
Full: Bam
Score: Prop, Flux, Nick & CJ
None: Everyone else

Exeter Chiefs 20 - 21 Bath Rugby

Exeter Chiefs 25 - 24 Bath Rugby

Exeter Chiefs 27 - 24 Bath Rugby
Exeter look to have a harder edge through the pack to me, and this will be the foundation for their win. Bath have a strong backline but Exeter do enough up front to take this

Exeter Chiefs 22 - 21 Bath Rugby

Leinster Rugby 25 - 24 Saracens

Leinster Rugby 20 - 21 Saracens

Leinster Rugby 27 - 27 Saracens

Leinster Rugby 19 - 21 Saracens
Sarries put out a very strong side looking close to first choice, think they'll have enough in the pack to beat a strong Leinster outfit

Leinster Rugby 28 - 27 Saracens

Harlequins 27 - 28 Northampton Saints

Harlequins 23 - 24 Northampton Saints

Harlequins 29 - 30 Northampton Saints

Harlequins 22 - 22 Northampton Saints
Two very strong sides, bit early for Mercer at this level against the Saints back row but can't split them here

Harlequins 30 - 29 Northampton Saints

Leicester Tigers 25 - 25 Crusaders

Leicester Tigers 24 - 25 crusaders

Leicester Tigers 24 - 24 Crusaders

Leicester 24 - 30 Crusaders
Big ask going up against the Super Rugby champs, and the quality of the Crusaders pack tells. Backs closer, but their pack will dominate

Hurricanes 27 - 26 Worcester Warriors

Hurricanes 22 - 23 Worcester Warriors

Hurricanes 31 - 24 Worcester Warriors
Hurricanes are the best club rugby side around for me even though they lost to the Lions, think they'll put some huge pressure on the Worcester pack and the backs will really hurt them

Hurricanes 30 - 29 Worcester Warriors

Sale Sharks 28 - 27 Gloucester Rugby

Sale Sharks 30 - 29 Gloucester Rugby

Sale Sharks 29 - 22 Gloucester Rugby
Glos looking very strong in some areas, but think the Sale class will show and they take this comfortably at home

Sale Sharks 32 - 31 Gloucester Rugby

Wasps 22 - 22 London Irish

Wasps 25 - 24 London Irish

Wasps 23 - 24 London Irish

Wasps 24 - 24 London Irish
Two sides who I expect to challenge this year for the top 4. Wasps have a bit more dog, but LI have some real matchwinners, can't split them here

Wasps 25 - 24 London Irish
