The Night Before - Round Seven
By Lawrence Aggleton
November 21 2008
I've still got a giddy smile because of last week. What a cracking finale! And even better, we're right back in to more Premiership matches this week! A slightly better week for me last week, I'm currently at 23/36 - .640.
Glorsduh vs Broke

Bris finally got a win last week against Saints, but they're gonna have to be really patient for their next win. Glaws had a good win at Sarries last week and are beginning to look a little bit more solid in terms of their defence. At home to a pretty awful Bris team, I think they'll comprehensively win.

Prediction: Gloucester 5, Bristol 0.

Boilers vs Relegated

Worcester are steadily improving and have class in the back row, centre and back three - if lacking a bit at halfback. Newcastle are rubbish and have rubbish everywhere.

Prediction: Worcester 5, Newcastle 0

Meeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat vs OooohShiny!

Tigers will be gutted at their loss at Bath last weekend and will want to bounce back in front of their own fans. Quins humped Wasps, but missed out on a bonus point. Tigers will miss Geordan Murphy a lot, but Quins will miss Care and Easter more. Nick Evans looks mightily impressive for Quins although I can't imagine he'll shift up to 10 once they get Brown, Strettle and Monye back. I think Quins are just missing one or two few many people and they'll lose out at Welford Road.

Prediction: Tigers 4, Quins 0

 

Brilliance vs Cobblers

Saints went down at Bristol last week, but they're a decidedly more formidable outfit at home. They've got some class interlaced through the team, but you feel they're probably missing a bit of strength in depth. Having said that, I've seen Bath fall to Saints too many times to be overly confident about this one.

Prediction: Saints 0, Bath 4

Blarney vs Watford

Irish are a good team with some quality players - Geraghty, Catt, Elvis, Armitage, Thorpe, the list goes on. You just wonder a bit about their power in a tight game, and I think Sarries match up very well against them here. With a few missing England players, I see Sarries scraping a tight one here.

Prediction: Irish 1, Saracens 4

 

Wycombe vs Tadpoles

Yeah, Wasps are gonna get stuffed. Sale have only scored three tries in 6 games so far this year. I can see them doubling that at Wasps, who look awful, especially in defence.

Prediction: Wasps 0, Sale 4
