Some interesting selections.
Feels like Sale might be slightly overweighted and a few players coming back in from long injuries.
Players who are hard done by are:
Harding (for B. Curry)
Fasogbon (for Stuart)
Hendy (for Murley)
Jibulu (two MotM games, but toss up vs Kepu)

π That's such good confidence from Quins youngester Seb Driscoll, who has looked so good in his short career.
Looked at a B&I Lion Infront of him, and decided to go through instead of around him.
Love it.
π Quins are now the only side in the Prem without a win, after NRB beat Sale on Friday.
They're bottom with a PD of -68.
If there's one fixture that can turn their season around, it's the one they've won three of the last four, against the team they hate the most.
πΉ George Hendy has made more carry metres per 80 minutes than anyone in the Prem (130), and he's joint top for clean breaks (11) in just 153 minutes.
He's opposite Adam Radwan today.
Both looking for a real shot with England this autumn...

π¦ Crazy Alex Coles stat ahead of his 150th Saints appearance today...
He has eight clean breaks this season, the most by any forward and joint fourth in the whole league.
Superb output for a lock.

πΉ Leicester v Saints has England stars all over the pitch!
Chessum and Heyes for Tigers, and Coles, Pollock, Freeman, Mitchell and Fin Smith for Saints.
Borthwick will be watching closely, with Australia a fortnight away.
Seen a lot of things in Newcastle... can now add 'boy on a jet pack bouncing aff the crossbar' to the list. Like how Newcastle are leaning into the Red Bull vibe.
π Could Newcastle get their first win tonight?
Sale have nine points from a points difference of -2, thanks to two close wins, but their heapload of pens conceded is a risk for them.
Newcastle beat them 45-42 at Kingston Park in May, so don't assume tonight is a formality...
π₯§ Last season Christian Wade beat defenders for Newcastle at one of the 10 best rates in the Prem, yet scored only twice in nine games.
This season he has five in three, including a hat-trick at Sandy Park.
One more tonight equals Chris Ashton's all-time record of 101.

πͺ Finn Russell has had a very good attacking start to the year, but a horrible defensive one.
He has missed 12 tackles so far, the joint-most in the league.
He's the most dangerous 10 in the league on his day, but should expect Gloucester to run at him all night.
