I'd not considered that... I certainly hope not. If they took him for the 4 weeks would any of those be just tackles below ankle height cup games?

Never caught it but think there was one incedent where it flaired up between the playersClub statement – Coventry Rugby
7 week ban for Boulton
Not sure when this happened as there didn’t appear to be any reaction on the pitch!

The footage is inconclusive, with a Bedford player obscuring the alleged incident. Suffice to say that Phil is incandescent.I thought that may have been a scrum (when they were getting the better of us?) was hoping the RFU put the footage of the citing on their website usually do but nothing yet.
Certainly need another prop in to cover!

Me too. And still going for a top four finish.
Not only Makaafi but Maisey also not making the squad. He hasn't really done anything to be dropped but that's the nature of having a big squad. You need to keep everyone involved at some point to keep them interested and as 'match ready' as possible in the event they need to be recalled through injuries. That's why I had a feeling that Jack Preece would be recalled for this game and will probably drop out again next week against Irish.Coventry Rugby team to face Hartpury – Coventry Rugby
Numbers are messed up.
Couple of changes again, still can’t believe Makaafi is out the squad all together!
Fancy Cov for a narrow lowish scoring 5 point ish win tomorrow

I'll be making the journey down tomorrow and like you I'm going for a narrow Cov win. These Championship games are so tense and much more interesting than seeing Cov just steamroller sides like last season in Nat 1. Bedford like Jersey was just so nerve wracking at the end and both fantastic games to watch.
Yes, and Cov 4th.London Irish
Ealing
Cornish Pirates
Top 3?
I’m Interested to see the likes of Doncaster , Yorkshire and Nottingham as they’re the sides I’d imagine are mid tablers?

14-7 ht. All Cov for last 20 mins. White sneaks one in last minute of half.
Not impressed with Sharp's kicking so far. Missed a very kickable pen early on when 0-0 and set the tone for the rest of the game. Some very poor decision making and poorly executed kicks not least of all when Cov had the momentum at 20-17 and from a good position inside the Hartpury half kicked straight into touch. I don't know why we just keep kicking possession away. We look far more dangerous running with the ball, going through the phases and recycling. It was not just Sharp though, overall it was a poor team performance from a very winnable game. Too many errors and yet again too many pens conceded.Out of interest how did Sharp play?

Hartpury were smarter, better disciplined, better in the scrum and mauls and made very few errors. All in all deserved winners. I think we may see Maisey back next week.
White was subbed because of injury. He tried to charge down a Hartpury kick and the kicker followed through full force into his stomach/rib cage area. He got up after a few minutes of treatment but it was around the time that Kessell would probably have been introduced to the game anyway. He had a decent game scoring our first try on the stroke of half time. He nipped in to steal the loose ball on a 5m Hartpury scrum after the Cov pack pressurised Hartpury into the mistake.Do we go all out next week in the squad selection or pick our battles ie focus on a much more winnable game at Richmond the week after?
White I noticed was subbed early 2nd half any reason or poor game?
Pen count again I hear was high.
Plenty to work on!
I'll guarantee Maisey starts next Saturday. Sharp played himself out of the squad.
Reckon the search is now on for another 10, but it'll be hard to find one.
Doubt they'll look to be hammered, but will assess after Bedford play them this afternoon with an, allegedly, weakened team.White was subbed because of injury.

I expect Cov will go all out with the strongest selection against Irish with Halaifonua back in the ranks and Nutley if fit. Although I don't expect anything other than a comfortable Irish win, we still need to compete even if there are more important games coming up. We don't want to be completely rolled over at home.

I'd play Halaifonua and Maisey, without a doubt.
Spot on summary and observations. Like the abuse of officials at the Bedford game, booing our own players is a disgrace and an embarrassment to the club. I'd rather these people stay away. Ok some of Sharp's kicking has not been up to the level expected but some of his handling, passing and vision has been very good. He's only had two games and may need more time to settle in. Booing him is not going to do anything for his confidence. Having said that I'd prefer Maisey back at 10 for the LI game.
