Could do with someone sitting on Faf or tying his shoe laces

It's all about slowing down their speed of ball delivery to him. They can't operate unless they're getting first phase ball, they don't commit and aim to shift the ball as quickly as possible.

I'm hoping our much improved defence - performance in the ruck and the line speed that screwed up Warriors at the weekend will help.

If anyone can stifle him and keep him on his toes it's surely our Danny?

Trouble is they play the same way.

It's more down to the pack to slow his access to get that ball out to the channels where they like to play.

He (Faf) can also cause them problems.  BT were talking about it during their game last week.  The fact he wants to be involved "all the time" means that he turns up in places he shouldnt be, and that leaves gaps elsewhere for the oppo.

Faf is quality. I always thought he'd be a great signing for us, before Sale nabbed him.

DC is also quality. Should be a great match up.

The line up looks really good;  strength from 1 to 15. I hope that the boys do not freeze against an aggressive Sale side. That said, we have real steal now and are resilient in our defence. Also, we very rarely look like we are beaten. We have done so well to stay in most games and keep fighting for whatever points we can get from the game. Hats off to Gussy and the coaches for successfully drumming that in. Also, well done to the players for implementing it on the pitch!

I am going to predict us to win by 5 points in a low-scoring game. Care and Brown to score tries.

Depends which Quins team turns up - the one that switches off for large parts of the game or the one that turned up and put in a proper performance away at Newcastle. I'm not expecting the latter because those are few and far between, even at home!

We need to win this. The pack of teams all vying for top 4 are all playing each other over the next few weeks so we need to make sure that we don't give the wrong 4/5 points away. If we lose to Chiefs then fine but we have to do what we can to stop Saints & Sharks getting anything from us.

We blew it against Glaws but can't do the same again.

Agreed - a win would give us breathing space.. Although, having said that, I don’t think we, Gloucester, Sale or Saints are consistent enough for the table to change significantly. I can see all four teams winning 1 or 2 of the 5 games which probably means the table stays more or less the same.

Also worth noting that Thorley and Woodward sound like they’re out for the next few weeks, if not the rest of the season which is a pretty big blow for Gloucester.

Ideally we win and Saints win (no BP) which means we maintain the gap but go back in to 3rd.

Looks like Sale's first XV to me, so it will be tough.

You'd probably put Yarde, JOC and Ashton in there if everyone was fit (not sure how though!) but it's pretty much the best we have from what we have available

Maybe Ashton and Yarde would be in at 15 and 11 but your centre pairing is pretty enviable to most clubs I'd say. Van Rensburg is seriously gnarly and hard to bring down and Sam James is one of the Prem's most consistent performers. We're very lucky in the centres nowadays too with Marchant, Saili, Taps - but it's a real weakness for many clubs.

Your team looks strong - I'd bet on you guys to win at home this evening with the squads named.

Not sure we need to worry about chasing gloucester to be honest, id rather see saints lose, then if we beat them at the stoop next up id say top 4 is sewn up.

Don't care what other clubs do - it is Quins' winning that I want. Win tonight and next week and then give it all to Clermont the week after. Rotate against Chiefs and win at home against Tigers. Wasps away shouldn't frighten this team.

Looking forward to tonight, be good to celebrate a win up at the AJ for a change
Agree with Billy, let’s hope we can just do the job tonight, and we really can start to look at a semi final

What a difference a year makes
