That'd be good. If Bath could draw at Sarries that would be more beneficial.

Two coaches who are a touch under fire at WR on Saturday evening. It might be a little bit more uncomfortable for one of them should the result be not in keeping with their supporters expectations.

I think Mallinder is big time under pressure. I personally think he's taken them as far as he can.

And im thinking the same about Cockerill....

Away wins for wasps and Saracens I think, home wins for the rest.

Poor effort GF!

Should be an interesting one at Welford Rd with both teams not looking great this season, has to be a Tigers win though surely?

Big game for us, couLd see us basically being safe with another 4pts. Quins are ravaged with call-ups, us with injuries.....lets turn up lads!

Hmm that didn't seem to work.

Mulipola, Youngs.Bateman 
Slater, Kitchener 
Fitzgerald, Hamilton, O'Connor
Kitto, Burns
Williams, Betham
Brady, Worth, Thompstone 

Bench; Thacker, Genge, Cilliers, McCaffery, Evans, Harrison, Manu, JPP.

Lots of firepower on the bench. Not sure why Kitto is starting.

Picamoles and North are huge returnees for Saints. Tigers porous defence has been better in recent weeks but those guys will give it a stern test. Not sure about our scrum capabilities either as Bateman is only ever steady and Logo really struggled against Glasgow when the opposition tighthead started driving in.

Bets on another 50m winner from Thacker?

Very true.  Worcester know they need the win as well, as they've been on the wrong end of a few results recently.

I wouldn't want to be a Bath fan this weekend. I can see Sarries really putting the boot in.

Wasps look pretty strong considering the players they are missing.

Sam I am not as confident as you, Bath have quite a few injuries but still some good players that could change the game in their favour like Roko,Charteris,Garvey,fotuali and Faletau.

Bath aren't 2nd in the league by fluke. Also they are at home.

Still I think Saracens will win but not by much.

Bowden is a good 12 he's not a good 10. His tactical kicking is nearly non existent. Pressure Bowden and Sarries will be pushing Bath back and getting turnovers.

What Sam said! Bowden at ten is the massive weakness. A brand new 9 10 12 partnership again which won't help against the well oiled sarries machine. Banahan out for three months is a huge loss - he has been our best player for 18m and we will miss his leadership and example. So frustrating that we have both Priestland and ford but have never been able to have a time where we can play one in the others absence due to ints and injury

Beshocked - fixtures have flattered us so far. Saints away was the battle of who was slightly less awful, Exeter away we got lucky at the end. Tigers gave us a lesson at their place. I haven't seen the quins game yet.

In summary, not sure we've won any more games than we would have expected too as this stage.

Will be delighted with a LBP and stopping sarries getting a WBP.

Bath have been picking up some great away wins at Gloucester,Exeter,Saints etc.

Only 2 losses in two very tough away venues, Leicester are no mugs at home, 4th in the league.

Quins have won every game at home this season in the AP and you were the team closest to victory.

Bath are unbeaten at home in the AP, going to be very tough indeed. Been destroying opposition at home too.

It's looking really good now we are bringing through players of skill and speed alongside the power options. Maybe Jones will have that seven he claims England don't have soon to go with our big aggressive options. Evans getting game time at 19 and Curry at 18. 

On a Tigers side of things a development backrow of Owen, Evans and Tuilagi is pretty good. Think Owen might have missed his chance though.

Just got to hope they get game time with the salary cap going up. I remember really rating Joel Conlon for the England under 20s but he's barely seen AP action at Chiefs then Sarries.

Faletau off injured AGAIN. But Tapuai looks a great little signing, in the Eastmond mould. Remember rating him when he was at the Reds a few years back but he's started well here.

North has jumped into the tackle. North makes that a dangerous situation. It's ILLEGAL to jump into a tackle. Not impressed by that.

Maybe you missed the ref saying about 5 times he's entitled to jump because it's a bouncing ball. He was in the air a long time before the tackle, he didn't jump into it.
