Looks good gone for a bit more of a pacey look to it.hope we play a fast wide game good luck cov.

Just hope the weather doesn't put pay to the game!

Feeling that Cov can win this one. The weather forecast suggests that it may well be another day for the forwards and our pack has been in great form recently.

Seems like a good line up, although if ryan is fit i would have prefered him on the bench to cover several positions and to add pace. Interesting that tressider gets the nod over evans.

And Scott Hamilton is nowhere to be seen!

Rob Knox and Andy Brown both failed fitness tests so Sam Smith and Loma come in. No news on bench.

That's a blow, 2 top performers missing. Perhaps Caulfield on bench for Brown as he was involved with scrum-practice last week?

3 late injuries amended team just out. Knox, Brown and Thorne out replaced by Tipilomu, Sam Smith and Joe Foreman. One change on bench with Jake farnworth in for Tipilomu.

Does that mean we have two hookers on the bench. Wasn't Jake a converted back rower

Or Rory Hutchinson.

nor Adam Parkins?

Adam's out on loan to that team in Northampton, isn't he?

2 hookers on the bench - what happened to Terry Sigley?
Good to see Joe Foreman get an opportunity though.

All views expressed in this post, are my own

Why on earth have we loaned Parkins?

Heard that Sigley has been playing for Bournville. Assuming he's left Cov but don't know.

"Good to see Joe Foreman get an opportunity though"
Been at street for a full 2 seasons as a Street player
Trained and paid as a streeet player yet recalled (signed from street against there wishes) Street in dire straights up front tomorrow.
Oh well they contribute nothing but a training base so I guess they will have to lump it as Cov are the only player in town.

Cov players Caolan Ryan, Tom preece and loti molitika are playing for Street tomorrow, so it's not all one-way.

Caolan Ryan had a fine game today, the back Cov rowers were ok but nothing better than the street regulars. Young Taylor Smith at loosehead stepped up from the Street 2nd team bench had a very solid debut in the absense of Joe Forman. I really hope he isnt cast aside next week and retains his starting jersey.
