I expect he will rest a prop on Friday, poss Mason as Jacko got to cool his heels the other week. He may also give Kirmond a break as well. We have too many back rowers in the 19 not to rest one. Hope Fulton plays but in the pack and not stand off. Would be very harsh on Brown IMO.

Too True Brown and Robinson should be persevered with, they are getting better every game. If they put Fulton in it should be at loose or on the bench.

Fulton will start on the bench.

We can't underestimate Celtic, get on top get some early scores and take it from there.

If we can rest players second half then so be it, but we need to be well up for this, and get our second home win on the trot.

Totally agree Wadski

This is the classic kind of game that we'd lose so I totally agree with Brown going with his strongest. I don't think we're good enough yet to be able to make too many changes and can't take Celtic for granted at all.

I suppose I was only thinking in terms of Mason & Kirmond [which still can be done and, possibly, Moore. Their replacements cannot possibly be considered weak.

I would think about resting wild (Fulton) a prop (Griff / Mason). Lunt is being rested.

If things are going well I would want higher minutes from Faiumu (less for Scott) and Kirmond (less for Eorl)

If any of them want to play though I'd play them. I am a bit wary about resting Wild because he is our defensive rock.

Still, I'm going to be happy with whatever Brown puts out.

Think you're right not to take Celtic lightly.

They are a decent team, with a little luck I think they will get one or two wins on board.

However I expect you to pack a little too much for them!

I hope you're right!

Celtic will get a win at some point though and we'll need to be on our guard. Complacency will just lead on to us getting beat.

I wouldnt even try to influence him (Brown) whatever my opinion
Hes paid to do the job and in my opinion doing it a lot better than anyone at the club for quite a while at the moment .
Long may it continue!
