Thank **** Yossi's starting.

I'm nervous about our defence though, good luck to Ayala.

[DannyMan2006]

I think our bench looks much stronger than Sunday.

[ronniedrew]

the have got big men for throws etc, ayala will get a baptism of fire, remember delaps throws last year, caused havoc

[cream]

If we sit back like Sunday, I can't see us getting a result. We need to be positive and go for the ****ing throats.
