A little chink of light for Cov, maybe, with the recent Supreme Court ruling that Insurance companies must pay out for Business Disruption claims made during the first lockdown.
Given the huge cut in income caused by the pandemic, this could be a gamechanger.

TBH, they're going to make a loss on it, but Cov and probably some others have decided to take the Sport England loan to tide them over for a while. Not ideal, and personally I'd rather they ditched the season and start again, hopefully with reasonable crowds, in September.
Still, as I have my ST, I'll be watching the online match streams. Just hope they have a reasonably competitive team though, as currently they look very lightweight in the tight five. Without considerable bolstering they'll get mullered by Sarries, Ealing, and probably Bedford with all their Northampton DRs and loanees.

Sam Lewis (lock/back row) in on loan from Leicester Tigers.
Good catch, that, and very much needed.
Edit - they appear to have had a change of heart and announced the other six incoming DRs too, presumably after seeing that Leicester had let the cat out of the bag...
Couple of locks, a scrum half, a fly half, a prop, and a back row. All look pretty useful.

It was a defeat, but a fairly impressive performance all round, but especially from the pack, who had their oppo on the rack time and time again, scoring four tries while doing so.
Add to that a well worked backs try from Wilko and White, and the Premiership outfit will be left wondering if they need to get the rest of their internationals in the side sharpish.
Had they had slightly more of the decisions from Sir, and not gone down to fourteen when already tiring, who knows how close Cov would've have got?
Cov's hastily-assembled, and young, squad certainly turned a few heads.

It'll be interesting to see if Cornish Pirates react well or badly to last week's home defeat, but I'm taking Cov to extend their winning run - hopefully with a five-pointer - this afternoon (edit: I did of course mean tomorrow afternoon. Duh).
Downside is that Tiki Nayalo misses out, and for the rest of the season, with a busted collarbone. He's been one of the outstanding players so far.
Nutley also misses, as he and his partner are expecting an addition to the family this weekend, so back row resources are slightly stretched.
They'll be fine though.

A decision is expected (I say expected advisedly) today on the Environmental Impact Assessment for the new developments at the Butts Park Arena.
The club and the developer, IDP, are expecting it to be nodded through, and therefore no requirement for EIA, hopefully.
The development incudes:
- A 120 bed hotel at the Butts Rd end, including bars, dining, match hospitality and viewing (and a terrace overlooking the pitch).
- A 140 unit residential development on the west (park) side, with parking under and a covered terrace to the pitch side.
- A drive-through coffee shop adjacent to the existing vehicle access at the front of the site.
- Landscaping, parking, and highways improvements.
Fingers crossed.

And yes, 1400 permitted next Saturday, seated and standing. It's a bit of a loss-leader given the extra costs involved over a 'normal' game, but they just want to get people in for the final home game.
