If Saints are going to win on Saturday, my bet is that it will be on the back of a great performance from either Sculthorpe or Long. I saw nothing in Dunnemann's performance the other day to suggest that he should play anywhere but at stand off against Sculthorpe in the semi.

I really like McGuire as a player, but asking him to contain the best player in Britain in a game like this after only 4 or 5 league starts is a bit much.

If that sounds negative, the way I'm looking at it is that if we MATCH them in the halves, we'll probably win because IMO we can beat them in the forwards and at least match them in the threequarters. With that in mind, I'd stick with what worked so well the other day.

I would have

Connolly
Calderwood
McKenna
Senior
Cummins

Dunneman
Burrow

McDermott
Diskin
Bailey/ward
Furner
Adamson
Sinfield

Subs:
McDonald
Feather
McGuire
Poching

The way Wayne worked off the bench on Saturday was fantastic.
Bailey or Ward is tough, on the one hand Wardy is steady and won't let us down. But Bailey would cause more trouble or Saints.

I don't expect Saints to play as badly in the semi, but I still feel we can beat them again.

Not sure what type of injury it was that Bailey had (ribs ?), but unless he was 100% fit I wouldn't risk him. If he were to break down in the first ten, that's a big part of our game and a big advantage to us out of the window.

As long as everyone is fit I'd go with Davids team. McGuire at scrum half ahead of Burrow would be interesting to see. Other than his scurrying runs its hard to see what Burrow has over Danny, the moment when Danny set-up the no try was a fantastic bit of natural talent, skill and vision, Burrows kicking seems to consist of a run of the mill grubber. Dunnemann has to play at stand-off against Sculthorpe.
Bailey should be in ahead of Ward.

I have to disagree slightly. Yes, the fact that we beat them does give a psychological advantage if harnessed in the right way. The thing they have to be cautious about is not to get in the mindset that we've beaten them once so we'll easily do it again as has been seen in the past. If ever a coach can psych his team up for a game it is Millward which is why in my opinion it is better for them to put last weeks game to one side and prepare themselves mentally and physically for this weeks match. Last week was a massive effort, but this week will need a bigger push. If Big Wayne wants to reenact his try this week though, i won't be complaining!!

I don't think our lads will need much psyching up for this match, with or without the coaches help.
