[Raggs]

Hoping Atkinson gets a decent run out. In some ways I'd have preferred to have seen him paired with Gopps at 12 from the start, and pull him off if he's struggling.

[Gloskarlos]

Unless Glos pull their collective fingers out, this could be a home humiliation.

Dunno about that, we're missing a fair few. And whilst I love Gopperth, he's not a great 10 normally.

[Gloskarlos]

Did you see the offering we gave tigers last week? Pretty terrible.

We didn't exactly look fantastic against a very weakened Bristol side, and we've only lost more players since then.

[Digby]

Ah, the second coming. But will it all go a bit Stone Roses?

[Gloskarlos]

Great album that.

[Digby]

I probably prefer it to the first, also it's a suitable album for a Glaws fan, a decent albeit belated performance allied to a terrible result.

[Gloskarlos]

Always been a stone roses fan, gutted two albums was it.

Decent game in the end, yellow cards were telling, hoping the win gives a Glos a bit of belief and confidence. Far from a perfect performance, conceding two tries in the last few minutes to gift Wasps a bp was very shoddy, even considering being a man down. Not a great deal between the sides throughout really, Wasps penalty count a fair bit higher.

Great win for glaws after last week

Just browsing briefly through some games, and I've just noticed something that I need a bit of law clarification from.

When there's a kick, players have to get out of 10m within where the kick lands, before they can advnace again (or along those lines right)? Does that include the kicker???

No. The people who have to get outside of 10m are those who were offside from the original kick, so in front of the kicker. The kicker and anyone behind them can advance as they like.

OK. Thought the ref got that one wrong. Barbeary chips over the defence, tackles the catcher as he gets the ball, then the ref penalises him for not retreating out of the 10.

[Beasties]

He'll never get in the Eng team just chipping the ball.
