I'm glad Stephenson and Horne are getting more time to build a partnership, really like what both players bring in attack and defence. No idea where Ludlam is again, should be playing 7 with Gibson at 6. Strange that Brussow got on in the LV but isn't included at all here, maybe his groin is still niggly.
Here's hoping that Khan and James Wilson don't come back to bite us on the arse here.

Stephenson was excellent last week. Its great to see him back and playing so well.
Saints seem to have turned a corner with their recent form. You never quite know what you'll get with Bath, so this is a tricky one to call.

Saints scrum is doing surprisingly well tonight, Bath have a heavy pack too.

Reinach also looking very sharp so far, he has come into his own in the last few weeks

Harry did make a few tackles when he came on. Looked pretty good with the ball too.

He hadn’t been playing much, as Priestland had been doing ok

He's playing decently, but his game time has been limited by concussion, a ban and another injury; all whilst his rival has been playing pretty well.
With Rhys's injury, he'll now get a chance to press his case for the start.
