Solid in the air.

Delighted to see him pay so well against top class opposition...we have a great succession plan coming in to place across our back line...he added to that in this game (15 hasn't been straight forward).

Only changes should be tactical or injury based.
The team that played on Saturday could not have done any more.

As I said earlier, maybe we look at the front row due to the potential size of the Brive pack


ken would come back in, and I guess Wyn will come in to the 23 ( I would leave Kemsley and Steff personally, just saying what I think will happen).

Wainwright needs to start - if just to see if he is the TH we need him to be with Javen leaving.

I would leave well alone - morale and desire is at a season long high and any player dropped from a season best performance would be rightly asking questions. With Javan leaving I can see a case for Wainwright starting & if fit, O'Connor benching. Morgan to 5, Fifita to 6, Josh to 7 with Dan hopefully only missing 1 game. Ken, Wyn, Patchell & Hardy benching alongside O'Connor, Aaron, Carwyn & Ioan.

Leave the team alone, this 15 will win this Cup. 

It's what we do.

Certainly keep most of that team - no need for many changes.

15 Rogers
14 Steff
13 Joe
12 Johnnny
11 Conbeer
10 Costelow
9 Cawdor

8 Kala
7 Josh
6 Fifita
5 Morgan J
4 Lousi
3 Wainwright
2 Evans
1 Wyn Jones

16 Ken
17 Kemsley
18 Samson (if fit) or Javan
19 Shingler
20 Carwyn T
21 Blacker
22 Patchell
23 Ioan

The thinking is - keep most of the team that played so well; swap Javan for Wainwright to see how he goes; game time for Samson and Wyn if they are fit with a view to the rest of the season, and next. Blacker and Patch deserve a chance off the bench, as does Carwyn who may have to take on the carrying role from 8 when Kala leaves. He's been developing - a bit more game time should help that along.

I’ve long mooted Tom to stick it out at 15, and he’s showing encouraging signs there. With JMac sadly out, keep Tom there. Helps having in form wings like Steff and Ryan. I’ve been critical of Steff before, so I owe him huge plaudits, he’s absolutely in top form.

Joe Roberts is quick eh?

That's a real shame for him, he's playing very well at the moment. Hopefully we can get through this round so that he can make an appearance in the next round.

A French friend said they’d come with their best side.

Are we a bit too light on jackallers in our starting side?

They were away last weekend, so did they send a weakened team? Are they concentrating on trying to win their home matches to stay up?

It would be unusual for a french team struggling at the bottom of the T14 to send a full side to a cup game in a competition they have little chance of winning. If you check back to their last home game, there are still only 5 players in tomorrows team who played in that (first 15). That said, a second team can be dangerous as they may have a point to prove to their coaches. We need to approach it as if we were playing Leinster
