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.
