I think we have a shot at Agen. With their attention set on top 14, they will probably field some youngsters. Looking at the result they had in Italy, and at the game vs Calvisano from Bucharest i say we'll win.
Will be a close one, for sure nice to watch, so I'll be in the stands.

 

[Draggs]

Should be a five pointer for us. Shame we couldn't get an LBP a Wasps and beat Bayonne.

Where's Gavin been (apart from knocking about with Jordan)?
Hasn't played in a month, is he injured?

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Seen somewhere that he is injured (back) ... but nothing official.

EDIT:

So it is a back injury.

Enjoyed the Worcester game and that Goode threw up behind the posts in the warm ups........used to happen all the tiime when we played rugby after a good night out!!

Incidentally, Hook was, again, rubbish and that should end calls for his return to International 10!

No it shouldn't, because firstly it is just one game, and secondly Wales' current 10 Priestland has been on dire form for the past 6 months.

An interesting match this round between Gernika and Rovigo, both have lost by enormous margins so far but they have the chance to redeem their campaigns a bit in the direct games.

London Welsh match with Grenoble is in danger of being called off due to snow.

 

[j'nuh]

Gloucester: Martyn Thomas; Charlie Sharples, Tim Molenaar, Freddie Burns, Shane Monahan; Tim Taylor, Dan Robson; Nick Wood, Huia Edmonds, Shaun Knight; Tom Savage, Jim Hamilton (capt); Sione Kalamafoni, Matt Cox, Gareth Evans
Bench: Darren Dawidiuk, Dan Murphy, Rupert Harden, Will James, Ben Morgan, Dave Lewis, Mike Tindall, Rob Cook

Thought I'd post this because... Freddie Burns at 12!?

Some are wondering whether it's been a request from England with the idea of Farrell and Burns playing 10-12 at some point in the Six Nations. Which is interesting...

But I think it's club reasons. Twelvetrees and Tindall have played a lot of rugby, and Mills, Trinder and May are injured atm.

I have seen him on a number of occasions at 10 this season and do not doubt he can do a job for Wales but not at 10.....Biggar and even Priestland are better but then I am not Welsh!!

This is how London Welsh and Brains are tackling the Alcohol sponsor issue in France tonight ...

 

[04perryo]

Comon you WARRIORS. Honestly the way we are playing every other team should give up in this cup.

Love it......the French will not have a clue but guess they do not sell it there anyway!!

Great result for Bucharest Wolves as they defeated Agen 25-22 with a young squad that included many experiments.

Gernika (Esp) 13 - 3 Rovigo (Ita)

I would like to see a game between romanian champions and one italian side from the ProD2, for sure that would be a good game.

There is a project to create a third level of ERC between clubs from Romania, Russia, Georgia and Ukraine
