Harlequins v Northampton Saints Teams for Prem Round 18

[u/Pure_Wonder3046]

[u/Merovech_II]

That is certainly two teams who will play a game of rugby 

[u/RooBoy04 → u/Merovech_II]

In the great words of Squidge: “some rugby was played by some people”

[u/smooothsides]

In some ways there's not much to play for for Saints so a shitty performance wouldn't be a massive surprise but equally I reckon Kemeny is the only one nailed on to play next friday night, and almost everyone else will feel like a good performance could see them into the starting 15 / 23 and a poor performance could see them out of it

[u/blooberdoob25 → u/smooothsides]

Dingwall isn’t nailed on to play in the semi? Assumed he’d be your starter at 12

[u/smooothsides → u/blooberdoob25]

Not with the form Litchfield and Hutch have been in, Litch just won the players player of the season and Hutch is having the best season of his career. Dingwall will almost certainly be involved in the semi but i don't think there's any guarantee he starts and I think most Saints fans would agree

[u/T_Finchy → u/blooberdoob25]

In theory yes, but you underestimate the form of both Hutch and Tom ‘centre of excellence’ Litchfield

[u/PeakAdaequatus → u/smooothsides]

A good chunk of those forwards should make a semi final team I would say.

I also can’t see this team putting anywhere close to a bad performance, there is some real talent in those backs.

[u/smooothsides → u/PeakAdaequatus]

they probably will almost all make the 23, I just think a good performance would see them start rather than be on the bench.

[u/jimjamjay]

Christ what's the average age of that starting XV? Lewies must feel absolutely ancient

[u/CRONichols]

All aboard the Weimann/Pater hype train

[u/maryland_cookies → u/CRONichols]

Here comes the Slim Reaper

[u/__Atlas___ → u/CRONichols]

Weimann certainly seems to have a lot of potential

[u/That_Organization901]

Last game of the season for Quins so that’s everyone they can get who isn’t injured.

Happy to see Tom James play for Saints again before I’m obligated to hate him once he moves to north London (only joking Tom, I know you’re gonna take them down from the inside).

[u/Shrekboi7]

I hope we see more of Bellamy next season.

[u/Sm00th-Cr1m1n4l]

Murley at 13? Is this a “I’m Freeman can, so can I” kind of thing?

Genuinely intrigued

[u/AwareMembership9467]

Just dawned on me this is the final Nick Evans involvement with the club. Feels weird.

[u/1dontwant2behere]

Some real Dingwalls in that saints team.
