Agree. It's difficult to make these calls week-by week when you're actively choosing to not put your best team out. But I think it's very unlikely that we'll be as fortunate with injuries in the backs as we were for the second half of last year. So it's not just a case of giving the first teamers the break they need, it's also giving Hampshire, and certainly Eckersley and Douglas game time so we don't need to throw them into a potentially season-defining game without them having played ay first team rugby.


I actually thought last week might've been the best opportunity for that even in a knockout game, but personally I'd be making at least one or two changes.

Haha...Brian Nazareth! If brains were dynamite... Apparently Nsemba's tackle was the very definition of a hip drop despite him going down front first. He must have hips in his face

The guy is pure comedy gold and is bitter beyond belief

It wasn't Big Brian actually, it was somebody else, whose username escapes me. Brian couldn't describe a tackle because he wouldn't get past the way in which he uses many expletives alongside the word 'Pie'.

Happy he's in the clear, think he's been quite lucky, him not landing on the attackers legs has probably saved him.
Hope the coaching staff have a little word with him to work at staying on his feet and getting closer in the tackle, I think they might have had a similar chat to KPP middle of last year, he was very grabby in tackles early on.

Is he the same grown man (under a different username) who couldn't bring himself to type out "Wigan" and settled for "Wi*an" instead?
