If not I would have thought he would be just the player to create havoc in these sort of games.

Seems to be a role reversal of our previous fixtures where were our strength lies in our pack rather than in the backs.
Thats the way I always prefer it.
Therefore a basic game plan should allow for set piece domination and lead to a reasonable victory margin.

No reinventing of the wheel required.

The pack won the Glasgow game, and the backs (Gilroy & Bowe) finished it off.


Stereotypical, but true.

It is true and I expect a similar outcome from back then, providing we play to our strengths.

Smoke and mirrors- O's will be competitive, and if we approach this at less than full tilt, we'll get our trousers pulled down. They're not top of the league for nothing. :roll:

Of course they will be competitive CIMAN thats a given.
I think they have a way to go to convince me they are the real deal, especially after the manner in which Northampton destroyed them in Europe.
Having said that they have surprised me in the league as I thought they might struggle after losing their Lions.
Havent seen that much of them this season but I will have to review my opinion if they beat us in our own back yard.
