Irish's deadline has now passed with no word re. funding. There's a meeting between the players and the players' union and the RFU about to commence. Could be interesting.

Most Prem clubs, and one or two outside. There are scads of well-run clubs outside the Prem. Skint, but well-run within their means. No thanks to the RFU.

Doubt that. One of the better run clubs, financially, in the Prem (which is why they are so low in the table). They're signing cheap lower league players and releasing better paid ones too. Shockingly, the likes of Leicester are probably more likely to go bang (but not very likely tbh).

Promising kid. The pack is starting to take shape.

When I used to drink, my spirit mix of choice was Southern Comfort and Jameson's! Used to really glug that stuff. Good job I gave up the booze really.

I (and she) remember very well when, just after we'd met, my dragon got gloriously pissed on black russians. God she was ill. I've never let her forget it.

You have sex?

You could be right, but who knows what goes on in that single brain cell of the RFU, or in that of the mendacious Premiership leadership.

Given that Jersey have now had their day in the sun (won't happen again) and how Ealing melt-down on a regular basis, I'd be tempted to put a couple of bob on Cov to win it if I were a betting man. Reckon they're a couple of hard-nosed experienced tight-five operators from being a real force.

Mine was the first match of the 64/65 season I think. I know we won, and I think there were over 30k there. It seemed like millions! Dad took me and Granddad (it was the first game he'd been to for many years, not living in Cov and only having a pushbike! Sadly it was his last as he died a few...

They have to be kidding. Ffs.

Hopefully they slink back to London with their sorry tails between their legs. There's bound to be a spare parks pitch somewhere there.

The Black Knight surely must have an inkling that it's a little more than a flesh wound by now? Or probably not, on past performance. The tool.

If anyone spots their grave please let me know. I want to dance on it. Three best days of the year. So far!

Heh. I saw Jaws there too. F'in scary moments on that big ol' screen.

I know a few Cov fans that did the same. Better off without them tbh.

They have the bigliest squad in the world.

And Shugs, delusional as ever - naturally - is already peddling the line that it hasn't been confirmed (on CRFC's forum; cos like, y'know, it's only Sky Blues Talk inhabitants that despise Wasps. Knob).

I'm just glad the Friend is still OK. Gawd I spent some cash in there when I lived about ten doors up from it! Been reminded of the Plough at Eathorpe just yesterday. Another of my regular haunts back in the seventies when my mate's parents ran it before Don Fardon. I'm told it's now run as a...

Oh no. I've only just spotted this. What a terrible shame. A lovely chap, and his daughter is partner to one of the longest serving CRFC players of recent years (recently moved on to Moseley though). My condolences to her and all the family. Rest peacefully fella.
