Wasps should make it a yearly thing as it really seems to have benefitted Cov" then going on about the attendance? First thing he said was that it was Wasps Academy.
It isn't in my head, listening to it was clearly put across that way. From somebody who knows not much about Rugby that was the impression he gave.
That is in no way being biased. An annual fixture like this would benefit Cov or don't you agree with that? It has created interest and brought in a very healthy attendance for a friendly pre-season fixture, all good for the club. It was a report by John Butler for goodness sake. I don't think I need to elucidate further.Wasps should make it a yearly thing as it really seems to have benefitted Cov" then going on about the attendance?

There were a reasonable sprinkling of wasps fans there, but not a particularly significant amount. They were quite vocal in the first half - mute in the second though.
Cov bullied the opposition up front for the entire match, although wasps had the edge in the backs up until the break, and turned round 14-13 up having scored two excellent tries.
Cov's defence woke up in the second half though, and with Stevens playing a captain's role throughout, and Pete White looking rejuvenated, the Cov backs gradually took a stranglehold, and could have scored more - as could the forwards.
Overall, a decent result, but I'm not going to read too much into it.
Crowd was decent for a PSF.
Roll on Jersey next Saturday. They're renown for their pack power, so it will be a genuine test as to where ours stands.
Stay strong bruv!Well I'm not going to make
This new floor nearly has me beat
Different profiles to every edge
Cutting it round chimney breast and then hearth , then just enough to go under the skirting and back the other way again
A brain that's suited to thinking in reverse and upside down is not coming naturally to me
Dry rot and beetles have had a field day just cos some bandit built an extension and blocked all the air bricks!!
Standouts? Halaifonua was certainly one when he had a sniff. Reminds me of a young Lomu. Throwing defenders around at will!Cheers Kneeza wedding season meant I missed today, any injuries to report of?
Standout performers?
Roll on next Saturday

White, as I said, looked back to his best. Two tries as well.
Stevens was outstanding in midfield. Sam too.
Latu - back to his best.
Front row was absolutely solid throughout, and the pack was an absolute joy to behold, seemingly able to push the opposition off the ball at will.
It was just a superb second-half performance wot did it.
Can't really overstate that.
They had the report from Butler and then Eakin started up about how the Cov public don’t like Wasps but they are wrong and should be grateful to them.If it was John Butler I’d be surprised he’s Cov through and through!

Was quite amusing to see the face of the ticket office lady though as I picked up tickets for the match as she recognised us from buying a 6 match package at the City only 2 weeks ago. You really can support both Cov teams. I couldn't help have some extra animosity to Wasps fans though and took great delight in winding a few up to their drubbing.
Perspective needed of course but go back not long at all and Cov were coming away from administration, finishing a long way back from League winners, crowds of perhaps 900 some days. I was disappointed with the bars in the club house yesterday though, less choice of beers, disorganized staff etc. Another slight moan is there was nowhere anyone could buy any merchandise, it was a good opportunity to make a few extra quid. Things are slowly becoming more professional but they need to keep improving and fast.

Yes so. since around three seasons ago when this Irish guy took over the bar it's gone downhillPerspective needed of course but go back not long at all and Cov were coming away from administration, finishing a long way back from League winners, crowds of perhaps 900 some days.

The previous crew were excellent
Think they started reducing the choice available last year,Purity gold was off last season.
I drive, so I don't drink. That's my rule. However, it seems the bar issue is definitely a problem that needs sorting.
On the odd occasion I get a lift I drink in the Broomy. Decent ales and ciders, and atmosphere. It's a shame the club can't replicate or at least get close to that.
Ubu, Kingstone Press and Greene King?
No ta.
That's got to be worth a fiver with RW at the helm.Latest odds (at the best available)

Cov joint last, surely lazy bookies, ie newly promoted must be the one of the 2 weakest....
Shame they don’t pay out on E/W for 2nd or 3rd place as you’d be looking at 50/1 for a 3rd place finish!That's got to be worth a fiver with RW at the helm.
