Northmore is such a live wire when he comes on. Adds so much spark. The balance is good with the team, Northmore comes on at 13 and March slides out for Murley.

Very happy to see Andre back in the team. The guy is what we’ve cried out for since JTH retired. Harsh on Taps but it’s knock out rugby and we have to win.

Only preference to the team would have kept Chis on the bench, like Northmore he adds so much if the game isn’t going our way.

Yes, I was expecting Marchant on the wing. At least Northmore can come on in the second half and hopefully capitalise on some tired players.

Happy with that team. Well balanced.

I love the fact that we are debating whether half of the bench should swap with the starters. When the weakest players in the XXIII are two longstanding Argentine internationals, it’s a good squad.

Mind you, Exeter’s is good too - the fact that even with their depleted back row resources they can afford to have Armond on the bench says quite a lot. I’m looking forward to seeing how Kenningham goes against Capstick - two very similar players in age and size who have broken through this year - and what Quins have to do to contain Sam Simmonds.

I also wonder what tactical tricks the coaches have up their sleeves. I doubt we will see a replay of the 2012 Final with Robshaw playing first receiver, for all that Kenningham has a similar knack of omnipresence, but I could imagine us having a few tricks to move the point of attack around and keep the defence on its toes.
