Speak fer yersen. I had clean socks on on Saturday.

And therefore I'll go my usual Cov by 15!

No, quite. However, there is definitely something in the agreement that permits the RFU to veto such a move. Although the Prem also has a huge bargaining chip as it (or its constituent businesses) hold the players' contracts and could, so they wish, withhold their services (for internationals)...

So young ;) As an aside, Rob's son Tom, a stand-off, now plays for Tigers (and is currently looking for big money to stay there).

I'm pretty sure he'll come back better than ever TBH. Not the same injury (knee), but a young Rob Hardwick (another prop in case you don't remember) was thought to be finished in the mid nineties after a terrible injury that needed reconstruction, but came back to win an England cap while still...

Josh McNulty back in town. Good move for Cov. http://www.coventryrugby.co.uk/2018/12/04/coventry-rugby-sign-harlequins-prop-on-season-long-loan/

No I didn't, but apparently nothing new said. They've corrected it to Flinn now.

Be better if they'd make up their minds whether Flinn or White are on the bench though.

Just had a quick check. Nottm had 19 First Team Squad players in their 22 yesterday. The remainder were loaners from Prem sides. We had two devt. players (if you count Lewis as one, as I believe him to be) , and one loaner. Reasonably balanced?

Veenendaal has form for that. Terrifically experienced player (and typical inside-half) doing what he's paid to do.

That wasn't a weak Nottm side by any stretch of the imagination.

And but for the width of the post (vs Donny), we'd be four points clear. Agree re. White. He gets better and better IMO. Was quite impressed by Flinn too, when he eventually got a look-in. We missed Gibbo from the off, but eventually got to grips with the Nottm pack, and I reckon Beech had his...

Yes, he was. 15 point win.

And yes, the Umaga knock-on was just the shitty icing on a shitty display. Mistakes like that can lose games.

Those two particular box kicks are the worst two I've seen for a long time tbf. Mind you, if you'd have looked up for them you might have noticed the scoreboard... Were they in pink? I have no idea as I have absolutely no colour memory/retention, as my missus will tell you (to my cost). I've...

Oh, and W*sps were battered (again), so even more good news

52-39? You sure? ;) Well, I didn't fall asleep, that's a fact! Great game as it turns out, won by Cov's backs who were outstanding (not forgetting an immaculate line-out display, and decent all-round performance by the forwards who really turned the screw at times, with one stunning drive in...

Seriously, it matters not a jot who wins and who loses. Well, I guess the small extra revenue from progressing to the semi and the final would come in handy, but the kudos just isn't there. The only other tangible benefit is to enable experimentation and the consequent (hopeful) nailing of...

Anyone else remember George Curtis taking a pen in a friendly (at the Kop end)? Ran the length of the pitch to take it and blasted it over. How we laughed!

Easy win. Procession. Shall probably fall asleep watching it. ;)
