Looking at the Rotherham site, it looks like the Titans will be packing down a seriously large front 5, and the side has a very strong South African and Irish influence.

1 Pienaar (6ft, 19st, SA), 2 Hannah (6ft, 15st Irish), 3 Carley (5ft10, 17st, Irish), 4 Walton (6ft9, 18st, Eng), 5 Pike (6ft7, 18st, ex-Edinburgh).

Flanker Fourie is another Bok (6ft, 16st, ex-Cheetahs), with Scottish U21 Neil Cochrane (5ft11, 15st) and Kiwi Donald (6ft5, 16st).

Backs all weigh in at around 5ft10-6ft & 13st, except for outside centre Blackett at 6ft4 and 15.8. Most are English, with some experience at the fringes of English Premiership/Div 1 clubs.

Subs include two more Bok forwards, and ND Monye, who is the brother of Quins winger Ugo Monye. Their stats list him at 6ft4 and 16 stone, which is a serious size for a winger. Titans fans are commenting that he has pace, but poor hands.

I hope the weather improves, because I don't think that we want to spend the afternoon scrumming and mauling against this lot. Should get the ball moving, ands see if they have done their pre-season conditioning properly.

Training and conditioning have been going very well, we've competition in all positions so the Titans will be up for this game, it should be quite a match.
