Mobbs has already started a thread on Sarries so we thought (with his permission) that we'd merge it into a NEWS one to discuss all things this Sunday

The first three games in Europe are Sarries at home Clermont away and Ospreys at home. Win our home games and whilst we are not favourites to get past the group stage, we can still have some fun with it.

Agree it must be Burrell and Horne for this game - but the question is who plays 10 when spoilt for choice. We have beaten Saracens more than once with the Burrell/Myler combo and we all know the reliability of Stephen's game. Harry has of course been the subject of criticism in the 10 role but he has played a very important part in the 4 straight wins. Piers is the future but has he played enough in this team to start this game at 10? Whoever is picked I hope there will be no cries of nepotism (if applicable) and that we can all get behind the team selected and cheer them to victory.
There is another alternative - Horne has played a lot on the wing and moving him there would create various possible midfield combinations (I don't favour this option but it could be interesting to see how it works during a game)

Whilst I hope that Francis proves to be a great player for Saints, I do wonder exactly what it is that people have seen to claim him to be the new Messiah ?

Why the infatuation for Burrell?

As I said earlier, I hope that Francis proves to be the player that we all hope he will be in green, black and gold. The evidence for me will be what he does for Saints not what he may have done in his previous life. Next season will be very interesting to see who claims the number ten shirt.

This is where I get confused - easily done I know !
Are we going to play Francis and/or Myler at 10 with Harry as back-up or are we going to use Francis at centre with Smyler and/or Harry at centre. Come next season is it going to be Biggar at 10 with Francis in the centre until such time as Dan goes off to Wales when we mix and match at 10. Does Smyler grab a two year contract elsewhere and return a la Dowson as a coach or maybe stay one more year behind Biggar and Francis in the pecking order ?Round like circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel etc
