TRICK OR TREAT? BATH v SALE

Halloween at the Rec, and the scariest thing on show lately has been the phantom tries we’ve missed out on from our trips to the opposition 22 in recent games. Bath have had phase on phase in the red zone in recent matches, yet we come away with a fraction of the points that the territory and pressure should earn - and did earn until recently. The nightmare started with the held up try in the Exeter semi-final last year, and ever since an out of sorts attack has often been stumbling in the final few inches, sleepwalking into held-up turnovers.
Blues v Hartpury

This week we facy Hartpury at Goldington Road 3pm Saturday, but hopefully it won't be another horror show on halloween! Hartpury like Nottingham have not been as good as last season so far winning 1 and losing 4. However they are never an easy side to play.
Saracens v Newcastle Red Bulls Premiership Preview

I do like the small ironies in life. Christian Wade needs one try to own the Premiership try-scoring record outright, and this is the game where he gets his chance. He drew level with a former Saracen himself Chris Ashton the other week and he gets the chance to make history at the ground Ashton used to play at. I’d like him break the record somewhere else if at all possible. After 2 shambolic performances in league (v Quins) and Europe (v Connacht), we are back at the StoneX for a pretty vital game against Newcastle. Lose this, and you feel our season really has gone to pot before it’s even got properly going.

Associate Tri-Tournament - Oman v Nepal-The last gasp

In the year's of covering Oman and Associate cricket, I have never seen Oman beat Nepal livein a gameIwas at or watched. Today is a game Oman really NEED to win if they want to make a serious challenge for a place in the 2027 ODI World Cup by qualifying as a top CWC Top four side. Nepal are presently in seventh place hoping to leapfrog Canada with a win but Oman in fourth position need to capitalise on the fact that they still have 4 games to play while those around them have completed their 36 games - especially Namibia. Nepal win the toss and will bat first on a wicket where all the games have been won by the team batting first
Associate Tri-Tournament - Canada v Nepal Revisit

Aaron Johnson and his Canadian team mates will hope for a better performance and result against their Nepalese opponents today in their final appearance in the League 2 tournament. The North Americans may not get to one of the qualifying places for the next round but they come off a win against Oman and will want to end on a high
Associate Tri-Tournament - Oman v Canada

Possibly a deciding game for one side. Canada desperately need points as they near the end of their 36 game odessey to get to the next part of 2027 World Cup qualification. Oman are in fourth position and want to consolidate that position with pressure coming from the Netherlands (who they meet in the UEAin the near future) and from Namibia who they are on a par with at the moment. Both sides have failed to get past Nepal in this series and so will want to 'bounce back' into winning ways this morning. A couple of changes in both sides with Canada going with a seam unit while Oman go with their spinners once again. Canada have won the toss and decided to bat first.

Mexican GP: Atlassian Williams F1 Team GP Preview

With just a week separating the two races the Atlassian Williams F1 Team moves from Austin to Mexico and Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez circuit for the 2026 Mexican GP. The circuit will offer its own challenges including the altitude which sees the circuit the highest that is visted. Aside from this the team will continue to work on the FW48 in preparation for 2027 as well as trying to achieve the maximum performance from the car during the Mexican weekend. It is felt that the Mexican circuit may be that bit more suitable for the FW48. For both Carlos Sainz and Alex Alobon they will work on achieving the maximum result but again points maybe difficult to achieve.
United States GP: Expected race results for Williams F1 Team

With both Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz starting from well down the grid, and even with both making good starts, they would drop back with Alex finishing 17th and Carlos 18th in the 2026 United States GP. There race results were also not helped by the fact that both would suffer front wing damage which for Carlos would see a front wing change. But given the pace of the FW48 the race results were pretty much the best that could be expected on the day with the team's focus now well and truly shifted to 2027.
United States GP: Qualifying disappointments for Williams F1

In a continuation of the frustrations for the Atlassian Williams F1 Team coming from their practice sessions at the Circuit of the America's qualifying for the 2026 United States GP would see futher disappointments for the team. Both Carlos sainz and Alex Albon would be finish again well down the order with Carlos 19th and Alex 20th. Simply said the prospects for Sunday's race are not very good. A points result is not on the cards as the team continue to shift all their focus to 2027.
