Because I can't see Saints going into this in any other mindset than brimming with confidence; they're quick, fluent, highly-skilled and able to score from anywhere on the park. I can't imagine for a minute that they'll feel any pressure when faced with the prospect of playing WT.
I'm not being a pessimist here - or discounting some kind of freak win - but it would be just that; a freak.
If we allow them to get of to a flyer and build up an early lead, then there is no pressure whatsoever.
However, if we can keep it tight or, better still, take the lead, then, pressure will build and their support may become impatient.
It's a huge ask but, equally, it's 13(17) v 13 (17) and if we harbour any ambition beyond being a top 5/6 club, then, at some point we have to win some of this type of game.
As the thread title suggests, this game is as tough as they come, especially with a squad that is a long way from full strength but, it still comes down to 80 minutes on a rectangular piece of grass and the reward for victory could be huge and tickets are cheap as chips
Come on Trin !
