Clever to move Marchant from centre to wing, and we have a fresh (and therefore fast) Lynagh on the bench to come on when Sale are tiring.

All I ask is no red cards or injuries for us pleeese ...
Usually I'm fairly confident that matches between Sale and Quins will go the way of the home team. Given your current form however (and a couple of key absentees from our side), I'll admit to a degree of trepidation.
That said, I feel our style is somewhat better suited to containing your attack than the likes of Bristol are so there is at least a glimmer of hope.
Safe travels to those making the journey. Enjoy a proper pint with an actual head on it. And here's to a cracking game.
The absence of Byron is huge for them. He is such a good player and none of the replacements are anywhere near as good.
I'd say we're in with a chance.
If he was playing I think we'd be looking at a LBP (or 2).
Byron's playing 11.
Did you mean MacGinty rather than McGuigan?
Can’t see Quins getting more than an LBP tomorrow
Just go straight to the pub, although we might all miss your insight, and never say die spirt and enthusiasm

Where will we find that near AJ Bell?, won’t be inside that’s for sure.
@RocQuin, I take it you're talking about the beer and not the rugby?

In the 'Sharquee'. There is always a separate stall selling local craft beer

If Sale can impose their phase play on the game for the first half and have a decent lead at 60 munutes, I think they will win. If Quins can get up in defence and disrupt an inexperienced halfback pairing, and stay in contention until the later stages of the game, then I think their fitness and attack will have an impact as people start to tire.

Really really looking forward to this. Shame it will be without Faf and AJ but you can only play whats put in front of you.
Intriguing match up. Cant wait to see Andre v's Manu. Should feel that a fair way down the M6.
Safe travels all. Have a great evening. Will look forward to watching it and following the match thread on here :)
We should have a match bingo. How long till......
Someone does not like to blame the ref, but its the Refs fault we are losing
Someone is going down the pub
Someone mentions "the comeback is on"

Don't forget that Sarries must be mentioned. Even when not relevant.
Good start defensively from the lad. How does Wiese getaway with punching Care in the face?!?!
How has that not been called back for a forward pass
