Much more youthful team (ignoring the second row) for the Championship side clash than we had for Tigers. Looking forward to seeing Logan and Benson in action.

Good effort from Coventry winning at Tigers.
Young Tigers squad with Whitely the only back older than 23 and four teenagers in there. Couple of injuries in the warm up meant Chessum Jnr had to start and teenagers come in at 18 and 19 on the bench. The Tigers starting tighthead ended up playing the full 80. Coventry are a decent outfit as well, they've recruited cleverly. They are five from five so far in the Championship.

Who do think Cov’s best signings are?
I didn't see the game yesterday but their pack has had a very good write up on the Tigers offy. Not a massive surprise with Hinckley and Kvesic in there, two players who you'd back to do a job at Prem level. Some big Fijians in there as well which apparently helped the carrying game.
Tommy Matthews had an odd time coming through various academies, didn't seem to settle but looked good for England under 20s. Seems to have worked for them as a clever pick up.
