Well, we've changed the team. No change - still lacking skills, vision, or any clue really.
At least richmac will be happy for a change.

No fear of relegation means a chance to experiment I guess. Not sure what Borthwick learned?

After the last match, there was nothing to lose.
And I expect he's learnt what he already knew. We lack decent players, decent coaches, and a decent management structure. Good luck to him.

Happy Bath won obvs, bit disappointed that Borthers couldn't fire tigers up more against his old club.
.a young tigers side trashed by our A team. Which may have been unwise for us to do considering we play saints on Wednesday and a top 4 spot is at stake.

I’m looking forward to Tuesday evening’s top of the table clash. It will be interesting to see how all the teams perform midweek with such a quick turnaround between games. Could this cause more injuries?

Highly likely. I don't think the regulations about times between playing full games have changed; this week's batch of 3 games in 10-11 days mean that everyone is going to be rotating their starting XV a lot, but there will still be players playing at least one full game and coming on as subs in the third. I did think Wasps had overdone their rotation for the first 20 minutes or so yesterday!

I agree, Till the end of the season is going to be attritional, or the intensity will slump with the workload.
I reckon Academies will be emptied, championship players will get chances and maybe a few who retired last year will be persuaded to give it a go. In my one eyed view I reckon Louw may suit up one or two last times.

Comfortably in the smug zone right now.

The coverage on BT since the restart is really quite odd -
-Take the game I watched last night, a single commentator so there wasn't that banter you'd usually find, (plaudits must go to them as that has got to be a difficult thing to do )
plus halftime consisted of some stats and a view of the main stand with the sun going down.
However, I'll take it - just so glad to see something back on.
