Agreed, I thought Cipriani was a bit mediocre against Leicester. If I recall correctly, the scoreline was 3-22 when he was subbed. He just seemed to be trying too hard to dig Sale out of the hole they were in. His replacement seemed to go back to basics as opposed to delving into a box of tricks, which worked for the Sharks.

Did you even watch the Sale game last week Jamie, or just look at the scoreline?
Sale didn’t look “significantly worse” when Danny went off at all – we didn’t improve, probably stayed about the same, but you’re doing a great disservice to Ford’s performance. We scored some great tries with Ford at 10, and he’s played very well when given his shot this season.

Quins also have the advantage of momentum – every game has been a must-win for the last 4 rounds and they’ve come good, with the wins over Tigers and away at Sale being particularly impressive.

We’re going to need all the grit and determination we showed against Saints, and then some. I hope the forecast rain materialises, to be honest!

As a Sarries fan I’m not sure who I’d rather we play next week. Quins are playing well at just the right time, but you’re guys have played some scintillating rugby this season.
If you were at home I’d say the game was yours to lose, but away at the Stoop is a very difficult one to call.

Very much looking forward to the Quins/Bath game, Quins could try and keep it close and prevent Bath from scoring tries, but that’s not their style, so hopefully there should be some excellent attacking rugby on display.

Saracens have found themselves in a good position, losing to Leicester means they avoid them in the semi, and if they somehow manage to win, it would give them a huge mental boost for the play offs given the team they have put out.

The other games seem a bit dry, shame Cipriani and JOC won’t be playing against each other.

I’d be feeling a lot more confident if we had Louw, Garvey, Webber and Eastmond fit. As it is, this XV minus Guinazu did manage the draw against Saints, so here’s hoping. Going to be a nailbiter for all Bath and Quins fans…

I think Tigers could win by more than 12. Sarries only have three regular players in the whole matchday squad in George, Hodgson and Gill. Every other position is filled with either Academy players or guys from the second team.
It is a perfect opportunity for George to put his hand up for the NZ tour. Especially if Webber is not fit.
