Both sides playing well - who knows how it'll go but expect lots of points!

Good to see Sam Grahamslaw coming out of the Jersey disaster and getting Prem game time. He got good write ups on the loosehead for Jersey last season, a late convert to the front row having played 8 in academy rugby (and possibly for Scotland under 20s).

[Mikey Brown]

Well that could certainly be an interesting midfield clash.

That's a lot of academy grads for Quins...

If you count Launch, it's 9 of the starting XV, and another 4 on the bench. 6 of the pack, and the other 2 are both EQP. Damn fine work.

That's a powerful midifeld for Bristol!
Could be brutal

I'm not sure you can count Launch as a grad, considering he didn't exactly graduate...

Yeah … big experience/quality gap there. Anyanwu and Beard are decent but untested as a combination and they’re up against a couple of very good players.

Gloucester count Cam Jordan even though he'd already come through the academy and played a Prem game for another club before he joined them.
