Same as last week.

Bring on Saturday.

[Van Cannonball]

Agreed. As Lood and Jono are out for a good while I don’t expect any changes, then potentially an amount of rotation for the Glos game.

[StalyShark]

We do have the two ‘easiest’ games after this so you’d expect some changes.
Glos:
Harrison, Langdon, Oosthuizen
JpDP, Phillips
Nield, Dugdale, JLDP
Cliff, RdP
Hill, Doherty
Reed, Luke/Ham, Denny (?)

[Van Cannonball]

I think Glos are not that bad, remember they beat Exeter’s reserve team recently, and there’s no pressure of relegation.

So I’d be wary of full team rotation. I’d keep it to 5 or 6 max and then same again for Worc.

[Olyy]

Same 23, for me

Only changes I'd consider:
Morozov for Harrison (though Val played on Monday, so unlikely)
if Ben is fit he comes onto the bench (but I don't think he will be)

[Clutch]

I think there will be more than the normal amount of rotation for the Glouc game. These two European games will take a lot out of the players. This is when we really trust the squad.

[Olyy]

No surprises there!

[Olyy]

Just seen on twitter that Dimes is going to be on BT Sport for the game tomorrow

[Lord Elpus]

I hope he wears that flasher mac he had on at Aintree yesterday.

[Flumpty]

That picture of Lord Byron looks like its from a police lineup !

[StalyShark]

According to JB on the eggchasers YouTube channel they’ve brought a WW2 bomb to the match. Think we tried blowing up the U Boat pens before with not much success. Here goes again.

I thought this was a joke and was a reference to a players nickname that I wasn't aware of

But no, a literal WW2 bomb

[chris1850]

Can't wait for ko. After so many years where our ambition was to avoid relegation, to be in the European QFs with some recent form behind us is a great feeling. I know it will be incredibly tough today and LR are clear favourites but that doesn't matter to me. I am genuinely optimistic for the future.

Bring it on!

[iBozz]

As well as being on BT Sport the match is also on Channel 4.

BT Sport 2 HD: 1445 - 1715

Channel 4 & Channel 4 HD: 1430 - 1710

[StalyShark]

Lazy from DdP

[Olyy]

Energetic start, but AJ missed one from the tee

[poyntonshark]

that's more like it, 3 from the boot.

[StalyShark]

Go on Bev.

[Olyy]

Got away with one there, that was definitely a late hit on that kick

[poyntonshark]

Committed

[poyntonshark]

Ouch!

[Olyy]

That 3/5 combo of La Rochelle is bloody big and bloody strong

[StalyShark]

First scrum was not pretty.

[poyntonshark]

Good pressure, but a scrum not best outcome

[Olyy]

That counter ruck from Tom was crazy - one vs 4 and he essentially forces the turnover

[Beardedshark]

Good so far and stabilised the scrum

[Beardedshark]

I’ll keep quiet

[poyntonshark]

Sometimes you just accept that the opposition scored a good try and move on.

[Olyy]

Think Hammo had to give that then

[StalyShark]

C’mon AJ don’t copy RdP.

[Olyy]

Good on the TMO for calling that dive, but surely it should be penalised?

[Olyy]

Knocked forward, bounced backwards

Surely they can't give this?

[StalyShark]

Ffs.

[Alex]

Second week in a row where the ref misses the touch of the player and only accounts for the rebound

[StalyShark]

Penalties and lack of field position killing us.

[poyntonshark]

Sorry, looks clearly backwards to me.

[Streatham Shark]

Sigh. Look at all the angles. All of them.

[StalyShark]

Sorry to ask but is Sam James on the field?

[Streatham Shark]

Beautiful

[Streatham Shark]

Sorry to ask but is Sam James on the field?

Your try I think

[StalyShark]

Sorry to ask but is Sam James on the field?

THANKFULLY this didn’t age well!

[Olyy]

YES!

Great run from Byron down the wing - was sure he was going to end up in touch

[Olyy]

Another miss for AJ but luckily he got another go at it after

I'll take a 2pt gap at halftime

[poyntonshark]

Sorry to ask but is Sam James on the field?

THANKFULLY this didn’t age well!

Can you please start the second half questioning each player in turn?

[Beardedshark]

Great try, bit concerned re AJ’s kicking

[poyntonshark]

I haven't heard a player shouting at the kicker since under 12's

[Streatham Shark]

I haven't heard a player shouting at the kicker since under 12's

Remarkably dull from them. Even then one of their players attempted to charge it down after being sent back. Don't think I saw that in 25 years of decidedly amateur rugby.

[chris1850]

We can still win this

[poyntonshark]

We're going to.

[StalyShark]

Think we need to question the bt adverts people: we’ve had kids going blind and now dead elephants.
