Ford vs Finn is on and the weather forecast is for dry and still(ish) conditions. Insert aubergine emoji here.

Unfortunately, Warr vs Shreuder only has one winner.
On the other hand, and as above - good to see Richards involved, even if in the wrong position (IMO).
Also good to see Cloete back from injury - let's hope he & McNally can use their grown-up heads this weekend.

Bath in general, a bit more heavily rotated than I would have liked. I guess we're looking at this trip as being "a LBP would be nice, but not essential)"

I thought Du Toit was a tighthead?

Blimey - fair bit of rotation there by Bath!

Interesting that Bath have gone with Richards at 6 and then named a lock/6 and an 8 on the bench. Clearly gearing up for a physical contest, even with a rotated squad.

Not like Sale are going for a subtle pack either, two locks on the bench as well.

Sale on top of all the tight exchanges, Bath creating the line-breaks, and pulling off some huge turnovers

That stings, and also shows how far we've come with a heavily rotated squad against a very good Sale team

Does anyone else remember paying £15 to watch Mayweather v Pacquiao only for them to barely throw a punch…
