Sale:

Sale: L James; Roebuck, R du Preez, Janse van Rensburg, Reed; MacGinty, Quirke; Harrison, Ashman, Oosthuizen; JL du Preez, de Jager, Ross (capt), Dugdale; D du Preez

Replacements: Langdon, Rodd, Jones, JP du Preez, Wiese, De Klerk, S James, Tuilagi

We look noticeably weak at present through a combination of the 6N and injuries to all the Wil(l)s plus Kenningham, although the starting backs will be dangerous if given a platform (duh). Sale have few such issues and will be riding high after last week. Weather looks ok else I'd have Sale by 7+ just by grinding it out with their pack of doom

[fivepointer]

Sale have a clear edge in the front 5. Quins have some very young replacements too.
Plus, Sale can call upon Faf, Manu and Rodd. Really like the look of their 2 young wingers so it could be a good battle out wide.
Might be a tough afternoon for Quins.

[Mikey Brown]

Yeah that pack looks comfortably second best.

[Danno]

Yeah that pack looks comfortably second best.

And then some. I'm hoping for some of the miracle stuff to at least make it close

[FKAS]

One to forget and move on for Quins. Outgunned by Sale with the England call ups effecting selection.

Partially, Quins have got injuries as well. Missing a lot of forwards that might have kept them in the physical exchanges for this one.

[fivepointer]

Sale had too much up front and behind. They won with something to spare.

Quirke had a decent run and Tuilagi looked pretty good for half an hour.

You say tomato…

[FKAS]

Quins have signed Big Andre, Wilco Louw, Garcia Botta, Huw Jones, Stephan Lewies, Tommy Allan and Taulani who are all non EQ internationals it's just unlucky for them that several are currently injured whereas Sale have less injuries and their England Internationals bar Curry returned to them.

so a- already reducing vulnerability by signing a lot of non eqps so already got the message, and b- still exposed so may double down

Think we are sort of agreeing tho.

[Stom]

Yeah, shouldn’t be any premiership games during international weeks.

Yeah, shouldn’t be any premiership games during international weeks.

perzackly

Agreed.
Which means we need a smaller Premiership, rather than intrducing 2 new team.

Now, where's my soap box gone?
