I'm assuming they think Berghan can deal with the pace for 60min and then Welsh can close it out.
Of course he hasn't been training with everyone else because being banned from playing means that all he could do is spend the last two months sat on a park bench drinking Bucky and eating kebabs. He wasn't injured, he was banned so should be perfectly fine to play a game.

Re: 6N starting team
I think, or at least it feels like the line outs were slower last week. In the AIs we were getting there then getting in with it. On Saturday I would be tempted to return to that sort of pace of play there and notice the defence time to settle.
It will be interesting to see what the plan is to get Kinghorn involved. I assume it will be for the wing but time will tell.

Yeah I'm very interested to see at what point we deem it appropriate to throw the dice with Denton/Price/Kinghorn etc.Big D wrote:I think, or at least it feels like the line outs were slower last week.

Beauxis is a bit average though isnt he?
Has Picamoles been injured? If not it is crazy not to start him

Re: 6N starting team
Beauxis is having a great season with Lyon.
Picamoles wasn't performing as well as usual lately. Brunel trying to kick him back to form. The little I have seen from Tauleigne has been good.

I hadn't realised Dunbar is over his head knock but has picked up a different injury on his return to training. GT says thigh strain will keep him out for "at least the next couple of weeks". He really can't stay fit can he. What a shame.

He seems like someone who might have benefitted from a sabbatical NZ style. Could they consider giving him time off until next season after the 6N?Mikey Brown wrote:I hadn't realised Dunbar is over his head knock but has picked up a different injury on his return to training.

Re: 6N starting team
Im not convinced about Barclay as captain anymore, kinda feel that he never put his foot down and control the half backs instead of moaning about how it was going crap, i compalined about it but i didnt have a method to talk to the other 14 guys on the pitch to fix itCameo wrote:Another good article by Barclay on the BBC website if anyone is interested

Well here’s an horrendously conflicted article about how Laidlaw will shape the attack.
