Should be an interesting game. Thought maybe Woody at 15 and Wimbush on wing. But I don't know much.

Watching at home or at the ground.

I'm not aware of Cardiff's pre-season, but i really think we need to move on from last week. Not sure I'll be able to watch, but hoping to hear of some good pairings and associated team play, rather than individual exceptional moments.
Crossing fingers for a Chiefs win

In Rob we trust.
By the way - cream on first. There's nothing to debate.

Won the game 33 - 28 but reduced to kicking penalties to close out the game, both of which Henry missed. Fisilau and James stood out and Varney finished an excellent individual try.
Clubber coverage pretty poor with very one eyed commentators.

How was Wimbush? Think he has the legs to compete with Butt for a regular start this season?

Was funny hearing the crowd boo both decisions to kick and then the response when Henry missed them though, particularly the one that pinged off the post.
Decent enough performance, conditions seemed a bit challenging to begin with, but once we settled we looked a far better side. Good to see some decent minutes for Greg, Kane, Henry etc.
Thought the coverage was OK, didn't seem any more one eyed than Radio Devon is!

Couple of really good lines, physical in defence and attack. Showed pace and a very good offload in his cameo.

Feels like a really exciting prospect, i really hope he gets a chance to show what he's about.

Picked a great line and showed his power and pace to set up Manny’s try with a lovely offload M

Lenny is a world class talent so we will miss him this season but we do have some depth in the centres now.
From what i have seen of Will Butt he looks a great signing with lovely soft hands and then Dallas to come too as well as Zach getting more game time.
Its an attritional position so we have a few quality options

Dallas gets some plaudits in TRP today.
