Yes but its blank.

Thought Warwick should have started instead of Lutton purely on making more appearances this season, but apart from that can't really complain.

[HoneyBadger]

Yeah that's the team I assume most would pick considering the two casualties. Glad he's gone with hendo at 6 and diack to the bench, who will still have a part to play.

Warwick's a loosehead

So he is. Apologies for my incompetence.

Is there any reason why Allen is preferred to nelson(injured?) or scholes?

On previous outings my purely honest opinion would be ... he's better!

The Semi Match Preview!

Robbie D should be starting instead of Lew with Hendo into the second row surely?

[BaggyTrousers]

I have to confess to considering we have the better team, they have home advantage, so game on, should be a real ball-tightener.

I suspect both sets of followers consider they have the better team & wonder which of the oppo might struggle onto their bench. My assessment is we'd knock the living lord jesus out of them at Spanners but it'll be tighter than a newt's chuff over there. I'd feel happier if we had Franco, despite having always quietly liked big Lurch.

I'd kill a Weegie to have Wiehahn, but sure big Lutton will have to do, I believe him to be the Nigel Brady of Tightheads, a man who won't ever let you down - even if as a club, you have let him down and cast him aside like a busted rubber.

I dare say by themarra night I will be beside myself on the edge of the seat and in a state of high dudgeon ready to blame everything on Clancy, should it all go baps up.

T'is the Alster Way.
