Re: Premiership Cup 2023/24
I don't see Roux or McNally in either team, so my guess is to see what he's like there currently in a pre-season match, in case he needs to cover during the season itself.

Ba5tards!! We have already lost 6 to injury in this campaign. We just can’t compete with full time pro teams, so feels a bit of overkill from Brizz.great experience for our boys, but it’ll be 80 points I’d think.jimKRFC wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2023 8:44 pm Bristol side for Cambridge:

Re: Premiership Cup 2023/24
To be honest I was hoping PL would stick with the Academy/United type of sides to bring through the young players as well. Can understand it, but not really in the spirit of the comp I feel.Banquo wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 3:03 pmBa5tards!! We have already lost 6 to injury in this campaign.

Re: Premiership Cup 2023/24
I'm not even happy with Prem clubs playing 1st XVs against other Prem clubs - though I can understand as this cup is doubling up as pre-season, and those players need some game time.
But playing the 1st XV against semi-pro.s is just... not cricket.

Sounds like a game of two halves. The Tiger cubs were up at the break but Bedford stormed away in the second half.

Some bad news for Tigers, rumours that young Fin Carnduff has broken his hand. Has generally been playing well in the PRC.

Not too long out for a broken hand, especially at his age. If I could be back playing in 6 weeks, he definitely can.
