Is this the same fella who scored a try in the 2013 final in Ravenhill? Oops sorry RDS.

Will Matty continue his meteoric rise?
Will reffell last more than 10 mins
Will Tredwell be ar5ed
Great match up between Moore and Buckley. Two great scrummager. Andy will hold the line against Bealham. AW is very underrated as a LH but rarely bested Stewart will be tested

Maybe he was in Leicester seeing if he could pinch some silver from their cabinet...

Marty might scrummage ok but if he waddles around the pitch again blowing after 3 mins it could be a long half for him.

Makes our job that bit harder but he’s someone I’m more than happy to pay to watch.
Just so long as he and Aki don't act like ballbegs in front of the Memorial end

Sounds like cooney is up for it this time. My only worry is they go after the breakdown again, and with reffel only back and matty there (who knows what we'll get from him) we may struggle again.

They absolutely creamed us at the breakdown in the knockout match last year.

I'd fully expect them to target the breakdown. Big ask for Reffell.

Given the length of his layoff and previous conditioning issues, he needs a run of games. We need his scrummaging ability, he needs game time. He needs played as we can't rely solely on TOT and Wilson. The other options are very poor
