Domestic and European Rugby 2016 - 2017

They still look strong. And Mako is starting.

For those of us who just have Freeview, the game is on BT Showcase channel 59.

Really good game so far and it's been as close as i expected.  Glaws opened a decent lead but the next 15-20 is the key, i think they're going to need another score though.

Personally I'd be all over wigglesworth like a rash right now, he looks fucked and he's a major part of this team.

That spell of box kicking just after the injury was not a great advert for modern rugby

However.... great win for Glawster

I'll be at Lydney v Cleve tomorrow

Brilliant win for glaws, looked bad for them when doran-jones got the yellow (which i think was harsh given the big delay).  Took a huge effort to stop sarries running away from them after that.

Get in! Some bravery from Glaws there. Stick your bonus point up your arse!

Lydney 41, Cleve 27

First time this season that the Mighty Lyd have scored over 40 points.

However, we're still only just above the relegation places and it looks like we've lost our scrum half / captain for the rest of the season

Given the lack of strength in depth at that position, I still expect to see Lyd relegated. We would then be in 'South West 1 West' playing teams that used to play against our seconds and thirds (Matson, Drybrook, Newent etc)

Does Solomona at Sale qualify for England in March?

Does Solomona at Sale qualify for England in March?

There's some debate about it and anyway he's apparently been pretty clear in the past that he wouldn't be interested.  With our wing options I wouldn't be chasing him but if he qualifies and comes out saying we're the only country he wants to play for then I'd consider it.

I have seen these comments alluded to but I can only see quotes from his time at Castleford with regards to RL. He look a fantastic finisher.

Great win under pressure for Worcester today

[cdbearsfan]

This Stade Francais - Racing merger sounds a bit wank to me. Is there much protest about it in France?

[cheltenhamlion]

Bristol are fucked now. Nothing out of us Friday and 2 points for Worcester yesterday.

Probably the first time in all the years of Worcester being in/out of Premiership that we have been a decent attacking side (when Houggard is fit) rather than grinding it out defensively.

Hopefully Gary Gold is retained for next year & acquisitions are a permanent deal for Vui, an upgrade at 10 & a summer working on fitness & solid defence 'may' see looking up at top 8 rather than bottom 2 all season again!!

[cheltenhamlion]

We are bound to have some cast offs for you......

Gave Cardiff a pasting Friday and a semi final at La Rochelle (or Rochdale if you are predictive text).
