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

Decent win for RFC, 45-12 against Blackheath.
37 players used.... and i'd imagine not all recruitment finalised yet.

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.

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.

They looked young and fast. This was good in the backline, less so in the pack.

On a hot very dry pitch!!! I bet the backs looked very good. I would hate to be in the front row. Not nice at all.
The best of luck to Coventry and Doncaster in the season ahead. Cut the players some slack though. Pre-season is just that. Hard work All the best ST

I recall a while back Jersey supporters were bemoaning that Leicester Tigers didn't send many first team stars, well apart from resting international or those in the Southern Hemisphere games, this is one loaded squad.
starting XV: 15 Anthony Watson 14 Harry Potter 13 Phil Cokanasiga 12 Jimmy Gopperth 11 Nemani Nadolo 10 Freddie Burns 9 Ben Youngs 1 Francois van Wyk 2 Charlie Clare 3 Dan Cole 4 Harry Wells 5 Eli Snyman 6 George Martin 7 Olly Cracknell 8 Hanro Liebenberg (c) REPLACEMENTS: Tom Cowan-Dickie, Joe Taufete’e, James Cronin, James Whitcombe, Will Hurd, Nephi Leatigaga, Cameron Henderson, Finn Carnduff, Sean Jansen, Sam Edwards, Bryce Hegarty, Matt Scott, Joe Browning, Kini Murimurivalu, Lachlan Shelley |
