Pleased to see Wallace back as White clearly showed he’s not Premiership standard last week. Not sure why he’s wearing 6 and Robshaw’s wearing 7 though?

Chisholm was good last week - really aggressive and carried hard. Bothma’s a good impact sub.

This week Bath are going to click and dish out a real hammering.....or maybe not.

The Earle -Cokansiga match up should be one to watch.

[Stom]

I do feel like the Quins team is starting to take shape. I really like that Visser has dropped down the pecking order, but I hope his new wages reflect that...

Just wish we'd get one of our locks back soon. Horwill would make a huge difference to this team while it would be nice to see Merrick. And Clifford...

[Mikey Brown]

Jesus. Wallace at 6 and I guess I'll be back at 11 when I recover. Just like the good old days, eh?

Marler is good value on here btw.

This has the makings of a cripple fight.

[Mikey Brown]

Do we think Roberts and Tapuai will swap shirts at the end?

We've got the better half of that deal...

TBH I think it was one those win:win moves.
Quin's needed some distribution at centre, and to remove a chunk of salary cap; Bath needed some beef at centre, and (apparently) for Jamie at an absolute steal of a salary.

You've got the better player, but we've both got what we needed in context

[Which Tyler]

And Jamie will enjoy that!

[Renniks]

Well done, big Joe… showing a bit of skill and composure there

[Which Tyler]

Zach's gotta get a chance this Autumn hasn't he?
Give him the 20 shirt at least, covering across the backrow

[twitchy]

Fun game.

[Renniks]

Anyone allowing Faletau to be rested deserves a chance!

[Mikey Brown]

Chisholm v Mercer is good so far.

[twitchy]

Quality from joe.

[Renniks]

Well done, big Joe… showing a bit of skill and composure there

Well, that's just brilliant…

Deserved as well, he outplayed Taulupe in the first 2, albeit playing 6.


Is it too late to change my season predictions? I can see Banas and Cola battling it out at the top of the try scoring table

[Mikey Brown]

Jesus. Just get him in the England side. Who cares.

[Which Tyler]

F.ing hell

Ah no, that arm!

[twitchy]

So close.

[Scrumhead]

Bath having the better of that half. A crap lineout and rubbish maul defence is hurting us badly. Lots of cheap metres being made.

Willison’s offloading game is very good.

[Timbo]

The standard of rugby in the Prem at the start of this season has been so much better than most of last season.

[Mikey Brown]

We are quite clearly second best at the moment, but quite a few, er... flat passes.

[Which Tyler]

Get him in an England shirt!
