Really please for Schickerling. He's starting to look like a long-term solution for us at 3.
Interesting selection. Whitten at 13(!) and Skinner at 12, ahead of O’Brien on the bench.
Front row resources being very stretched.. no Moon, Hepburn, Williams, Street, Nixon etc. But good to see Keast back.
Armand at 8. Which suggests there are still a number of injuries.. Tuima, Capstick, Hinkley on loan etc.
With the amount of absences and unsettled side, it will be a tough game. But hopefully the newfound confidence will be enough.

In Rob's pre match comments he says that we will have to get used to a bit of pain over the next few weeks with senior players away with Six Nations. It is, however, a wonderful chance for the youngsters to step up and perform. It would be good to see Hodge get some game time and the front row have a real opportunity to impress.
I really like the look of that side and the bench. I know there are lots of injury absences as well as international call ups and these next 8 weeks could be a bit painful, but at long last, even if from necessity , we are going to see if the second/ third/ fourth string guys can really hack it. We have tons of props and hookers, and they need to grow up eventually. I have been wanting to see HS at 12 for a while, to see if he can add that creative “je ne sais qua” in Henry’s absence.
The big ones missing for me are Cordero, Street, and Hinckley.

HI ETC. Puzzled by your mixed gender prediction.
I think if Chiefs men are playing Wasps women, I'd go for a higher points difference 
How many times have we had teams sheets with the same name on both sides?
Come on Sean O'Brien!!
Come on Sean O'Brien!!
Well done Tribester!!!!!!!!! The logo and the name.

Pack looks ok, so does our back line so this could be a real test.
Like to think we can sneak this. LI 22-Chiefs 29

Chiefs to win 30:12
In Rob we trust.
By the way - cream on first. There's nothing to debate.

Like all games in the six nations window, a difficult one to predict.
Irish are a good side now and are not really affected by call ups.
I'm glad we have our Scottish players, hoping that might be enough to nudge it our way. Irish 24 Chiefs 27 Although, would not be at all surprised if we lost this one

Irish a good side without a lot of "star" players. Rona always looks good to me. Even so I'm going with my heart
PC Chiefs 24 Irish 18
Mrs PC Chiefs 17 Irish 20
So much for family solidarity!

@#$%& that's a double for Irish over us this season. At least we got a point.
Cornwall Chief and Bold Eagle move ahead of the pack; CC got the right result and BE got Irish score right. Not a great deal of movement elsewhere; too much optimism!! again!!!
