Now they have to get BP win away in Europe they should be looking at themselves, not even sure what you mean by that?

Its a cliché but there are no easy games in this and an away BP win will be a very good result no matter who the opposition, Stade struggling in Russia as we speak proves that.
You are just trying to tee up a good moan afterwards for anything other than a BP win. You seem to prefer that to actually seeing us win.

What sort of team did Stars put out?

It's Edinburgh, we'll have a comfortable win over Irish and get pipped by 1 point by the Russians

Bear in mind we are going in without, Kinghorn, VDM, Bennet, Fruean, Burgleigh, Johnston, Weir, Kennedy, Bradbury, Mata, Watson, Bresler, Sutherland, Dickinson and Ford. Either rested or injured. Its not exactly our top team either.

Agree with Biffer on McKenzies leadership, straightforward, sensible decisions and you know he will put in the effort and lead by example.
McKenzie in the team, and Cochrane on the bench. I'm optimistic... Very strong pack with only captain Bradbury and Watson rested (or injured?). Cockerill does not rotate much but more than Solomons though.
Disappointed not to see Dean and Johnston together in the backs. Hoyland should be hungry.

Quite possible. But I'll start to worry about the Russians only after we've thrashed LI.dolf_lundgren wrote:

I disagree. You can't say it's not our first team because of those that are injured... Every team has injured players and
we have some too, but not so much. Your first team is the best team you can pick from your available players, at least for me.
From 1 to 10, this team is very close from our best team IMHO. Bradbury and Watson are rested, but that's all. And I don't know for sure who's better between Watson/Hardie and Bradbury/DuPreez...
Gilchrist and Toolis, for whatever reason, are not good together. So Fraz should start every game, once with Toolis, the other with Gilcho. The front-row is our best pick. Sam too at 9. And at the moment, Tovey is ahead of Weir.
It's just something like a B team in the backs fom 11 to 15. But quite a competitive one (for us at least).
So I would say it's quite a strong and ambitious Edinburgh side.
