Re: Bath v Worcester Sat 2pm
Bath have a decent number of EQPs starting and bench as well.
great to see Will Butler back too.

Orlando Bailey making the bench for Bath - hope he gets a few minutes.
You wonder if sides are now looking towards boosting the EQ percentage money, rather than results. I mean, it worked out pretty well for Saints last week, but Wuss have nothing really to gain or lose from this season with relegation suspended, so they may as well drop du Preez, Hougaard, and Venter and try and up their share of the dosh.

Fair point, and no bad thing even if not the desired 'route'.Puja wrote:Orlando Bailey making the bench for Bath - hope he gets a few minutes.

By my reckoning Bath have 21 EQPs in the 23. Top effort. They get an extra pat on the back for having an Arthur on the bench.

Re: Bath v Worcester Sat 2pm
We've been "good" on that for a while yet; and none of tomorrow's team are there "to boost EQP stats" The only remotely questionable selection is Bailey over Matevesi, which is more likely down to getting him ready for next season (or really ought to be)Banquo wrote:Yep, if you include Max Clark, and why not.fivepointer wrote:By my reckoning Bath have 21 EQPs in the 23.

Fucking hell! After spending 236 minutes out of a possible 240 on the bench, Fin Smith now starts for Wuss! And Bailey is on the bench for Bath! Well fuck a duck, what excellent news!!!

Starting 15 all EQP and 11 of them have come through the academy.
Be good to see what Smith, Butler and Morris can produce. All very talented attacking players. Hopefully Butler can stay away from another injury!
