Very entertaining match in the heat of the BPA.
Merthyr ran up a 0-17 lead die to the weight and experience of their pack. By half time though their were tiring badly in the heat and Coventry pulled back to 12-17.

In the second half, both teams having made 15 player changes Cov brought on a more experienced pack, and the game was much more even, and much more mobile.

A useful outing for both squads.

I walked down to Blackheath v Richmond last night. It looked like both teams started with their strongest fifteens which was the closest contested of the three thirty minute sessions. Blackheath seemed to be a handful at the breakdown whilst Richmond's offloading game caused a good number of line breaks and they were more clinical in their finishing. Blackheath appeared to  use a few youngsters whilst the Richmond squad seemed to have a good amount of depth. One of the Blackheath supporters told me he understood they are running a regular 2nd XV this coming season. The game was probably a bit closer than the score reflected. A thoroughly enjoyable evening of rugby.

Decent win for RFC, 45-12 against Blackheath. 

37 players used.... and i'd imagine not all recruitment finalised yet.

That’s it,
Apparently members can attend an open training session.

Would rather go to Tring and see Ath.

I don’t think many will turn up.

Sadly I heard we had 3 lined up originally, but as Saints progressed into the playoffs they wanted to move the game which then messed up the plans, so they had to try and find replacements.

We are missing a more “equal” team

The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.
