If they play like they did last Friday I would imagine there'll be a few more posts like this over the coming weeks >minigun

How the hell is Roger the Incumbent - one match where he payed like the invisible man? Nick will start.
Because he started on Friday night? :scratch:
Nick didn't do much more against Leinster I recall, apart from barrelling over from 5 metres. And my o my, didn't RW break nicely up the blindside when Beagle was marked absent. Puzzling for an 8 who doesn't do much other than shore up the base of a scrum.. >EW

One run doesn't justify his place , if he lacks FNW ability to either cross the line or absorb three defenders.

FNM just brings more to the party simple never mind who is current 8 by default

Diack did more last week than Wilson both in the line out and loose.

You've got to get your first tackle in early, even if it's late.

Rummie, basically, we'll see, as RW's fitness increases. To continue the cliche, they are entirely different in many aspects. So a lot is comparing apples and oranges. For the Diack line out example, include Nick as well.. I don't have downer on Nick, far from it, but neither do I get the writing off of Wilson as a benchwarmer when Nick needs a (frequent) break. There are more aspects to 8 play, and in many areas Wilson is superior tactically, positionally and in terms of the basic 8 skills. NW's style can and will be analysed to death this season, and may, in all probability, be negated against the bigger sides. Remember the dream team back row of Ferris, Heaslip and SOB against Wales in the WC Quarter?- all chopped low and hard, game over. So he will have to adapt his game, or we will need both Plan A and B. RW offers that option. Nick offers something extra in broken play, but RW offers more in a tight corner, all things being equal (i.e. the rest of the side turning up...)

There are already 2,000 more tickets sold than for the same match last year, Pip, and there should be about 11,000 at the match, so it's actually pretty good.

And yet he has been dropped/rotated. Really can't understand that. :scratch:

Bazz, could you not apply that to every match?

As for the rest of your post, it is nothing short of complete and utter madness. Glasgow were the form side in all of Europe in 2013 and the conditions they played in against Cardiff were far from ideal. I'm not surprised it was only a 7 point gap between the two teams. We'll do well to get a win out of this. Very well indeed.
Ruckster I am not sitting here and listening to how good Glasgow are.
I am convinced we have better players and that Glasgow side you on about are equally /more weakened arguably than we are shorn of their top players.
Look at our back row, they cant live with that on our day and thats a going to be what will give us the edge.
For me if both sides play to their optimum we are the better side.
Thats the IF though.
Look for your win.

Snipes team with Nick Williams is it.
As for Glasgow they are not the All Blacks.
Looked at the team that scraped a home win against the unmighty Cardiff and if its along those lines against us its certainly not worth getting our knickers in a twist about.
Matawalus out injured which is a big miss for them and I would be a lot more concerned if he played as he was the best 9 in the league last season.
If we perform we win-its that simple.
bazzaj to apply your own logic to the argument, look at the team we failed to beat on Friday......
Yes scrum but factor in we are at home with NW, Cave and Hendo to come back in, 3 massive players for last season in terms of our organisation and power game.
The Dragons game most of us knew would be a struggle with them at home for their first game and the team we fielded but this is different circumstances entirely.
All that considered I am backing us to perform well which can only lead to a victory.

I'd have Farrell over McIlwaine on the bench Pip, however I could see with McIlwaine's ability to cover every back position he would be preferred as a 23 option. Apart from that, looks like the team.
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

Ciman.

As previously stated my preferred backrow in the absence of FNW and Ferris would be Henderson Henry and Diack

Wilson on the bench . Henderson provides a ball carrier Diack an alternative in the lineout and support in the midfield and Henry is the ferret in the ruck.

Wilson has never been a ball carrier, nor a lineout jumper it is not what Wilson does which makes me omit him it is the fact that others seem to bring something additional to the table.
