Cov signing a new fly half this morning could be a bad sign..Rumour, but strong one.
Tonga stand-off Pat Pellegrini off to Auckland-based Moana Pasifika.
That'll not help the cause this coming season if true.
Came here to post this. With Richman also already in place as a 10, it feels almost inevitable.Cov signing a new fly half this morning could be a bad sign..
True. We've had some pretty decent ones in the interim though - Luis Criscuolo and 'Elisi Vunipola for two.A bit of a disaster if Pellegrini leaves, in the games I saw last season he was outstanding. Maybe the best fly half Cov have had since Huw Davies in the 1980's
Nothing yet.Is there any definite news on Pellegrini? I see his portrait is still on the club website
There is some chatter that he's on an extended holiday back home, but will return pre-season.
I don't buy into that though.
I guess that's a possibility.Perhaps he's been on trial at Moana, and if he doesn't get offered a contract then he will return to Cov?
Moana have made a splash this week, signing Ardie Savea!
Positive result, and looking forward to the season ahead.Second and last PSF. Cov 45-17 Chinnor.
Seven tries (five in the first half before changing virtually the whole line-up for the second when the visitors came into it scoring three of their own).
Biggest takeaways: Forwards solid, and scoring most of the tries. Backs shaky, not looking like they'd actually met each other for long periods. Fly-half is an issue now with Pellegrini gone and two injured. The kid (Mannion) who stepped in is promising, but raw. Good kicking game though.
Not overly confident for the trip to London Scottish, but hopefully lessons have been learned and I'll be proved wrong.
Haven't lost there for over three seasons now. Three wins out of last four.Solid start for Cov, at not our happiest of hunting grounds in the past.
Like you I didn’t expect quite such a comprehensive scoreline, but will happily take it
Hopefully the late tries against will be cut out once fitness improves.
It was a cracker. Dominated for 80 minutes even when down to 14 men.Should have gone down,oh well!
They were, but to be fair, crowds are often quite low early doors, and build as the season goes on. Keep up this level of performance, keeping Ealing honest, and who knows how high the average will go.Decent enough crowd of 3000+ too, although I think the club were hoping for a few more.
