You'd remember Tom Palmer surely Rooster? Ex Wasps/Glouc/Leeds, I thought he was with the mighty Treviso but seems he is a medical joker (!) at Begles. To be fair he played for Engerland once upon a time I think.

That team might actually win. Great starting centre partnership. I wasn't expecting to see Olding.

Actually not a bad looking side when you consider the number of players missing, depends on how good their forwards are and how many stupid penalties we give away for Shinner boots to get a chance for 3 points, hope Rodders and Hendo have cleaned up their acts or it could be a long day

Feckin' SDC, :sleeping:

I'll have a brief scout around the house themarra fortil see if there are any spare fecks lying around. Failing that I have a wee painting job I could usefully do on Sunday.

SDC .........it's not for me.

We should be like Rock Hudson & Frank Bruno and take a queer bashing in the ring and get out of this pointless competition asap. :duh:

Gives the young guys experience or a big away game in Europe and both are fit, gives Tommy a chance to get fit, good call in my opinion.

Good call I think as well, both those lads started off well this season and Tommy has been pretty average so far though he has the knack of picking a line through the centre, whether he could run in a try from our own half would be very debatable though at present.

I know their league status just was meaning I know very little about their style of play or their actual players, are they a bunch of bosh it up players ?
