I think if Sarries play another first half like last week, they’ll run away with it. Scarlets won’t be able to come back at them like Toulon did, and it could be mauling.

They were 19 points up at half-time against a team that had never lost at home in Europe, and so it’s not a huge stretch to get to 28. It might be a touch on the high side – Scarlets do have a good starting XV, but lack depth on the bench, and if Sarries build a lead, it could be a mauling.

Do you really think Sarries will win by that much? Kruis is out for a while after surgery on his ankle. Ironically the only position in which Sarries don’t have the same depth as others since Hargreaves retirement.

I think Toulouse vs Wasps is going to be the best match of round 2.
