Cov are really drafting in the loaners at the moment, due partly to injuries, but also to the Worcester situation - with at least one senior player suspended by the club due to the shenanigans. Naming no names, but his attempts to take several Cov players with him are just totally beyond contempt.
Fuck Worcester, and also any disruptive Cov players due to Worcester's ridiculous parachuting into this league.
Terrible situation.

Worcester read's Wasps or not?

What's happened at Cov, lost 2 on the bounce. Is it lack of squad depth?
Worcester poaching hasn't helped. Two are going there, minimum, and one of those has been suspended as he was tapping up another seven or so to join him.
Extremely unsettling.
Apart from those two (first-choice members of the forward pack) there are at least four more first-choice forwards out injured, Johnson, Nairau (front row), Nkwocha (second row), and Hinkley (back row).
Plugging gaps as big as those from a small senior squad is impossible.
I really can't see more than a couple of narrow wins before the end of the season tbh unless there are a few Lazarus-like returns.
Hopefully next term they can just get on with it without the Worcester/'Tier 2' shenanigans and distractions.

Yesterday was odd. Hartpury were gifted a couple of tries on the way to a 28-0 lead, but then Cov dug in and scored four, and but for a last minute forward pass which nullified a try, would have got the draw.
Great fightback to be fair.
